Get to know and try out AI tools
12.06.2023
Artificial intelligence (AI) is all the rage right now. It is being talked about everywhere as a pioneering technology. It is now also so easily accessible that anyone can use it in everyday life. But what exactly is AI and how can it help you in your everyday life and support you in your creative work? We've put together a few tools that might be of interest to you.
Stable Diffusion
Stable Diffusion is a text-to-image diffusion model capable of generating photorealistic images in a variety of different styles from any text input. With this tool, it is possible for anyone to create stunning art within seconds. The tool is available online for free and the generated images can be used freely.
Midjourney
Midjourney works in a similar way to Stable Diffusion. Here you can also create images based on text input. However, the tool is not free and is only available via the online communication service Discord. The tool creates four different versions of the image and you can scale up the resolution or add details afterwards.
Dall-E2
Dall-E2 is the third image-generating AI and is being developed by OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT. If you register on the OpenAI website, you can start trying it out straight away. Dall-E2 can not only generate images based on text input, it can also expand the image section of existing images, add or remove elements to images and thus create completely new compositions.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT - the AI tool that everyone is talking about at the moment. It is a so-called chatbot, i.e. an interactive dialog system. You can have conversations with it, but you can also have it produce program code or text drafts, for example, and the system can even improve itself if it makes mistakes. The tool is great for creative inspiration, but you shouldn't blindly rely on the accuracy of the answers. After registering at OpenAI.com, the tool can be used free of charge.
PDFgear
PDFgear is a free PDF editor and converter that integrates AI functions. A special feature that can really save work is the integration of ChatGPT. You can have the document analyzed by the AI at the click of a mouse. You can then ask questions about the text and have ChatGPT answer them, linking you to the relevant text passages. You can download PDFgear from the following link, for example.
Botfriends
Pioneering and competitive AI software doesn't always have to come from Silicon Valley! BOTfriends is a Würzburg-based IT company that develops AI-based chat bots and voice assistants for customer service. Its customers already include a number of well-known companies such as Bosch, RWE and the soccer magazine Kicker. Their offer is in the B2B sector and is subject to a fee.
