It is designed for small businesses, freelancers, office teams, and anyone who needs a polished greeting for a phone or VoIP system.</p> <p>The templates cover common situations such as business greetings, after-hours messages, out-of-office notices, and personal voicemail. You can edit every word, so the result still sounds like your business instead of a generic demo.</p> <p>You can try it here: <strong><a href="https://voicemailgreetinggenerator.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">voicemailgreetinggenerator.com</a></strong></p> <p>I would love feedback on the voice selection and which phone systems or audio formats I should support next.</p> showdev webdev ai productivity Edward Artist Fri, 07 Aug 2026 01:13:07 +0000 https://dev.to/edwardartist/i-built-an-ai-minecraft-thumbnail-maker-for-youtube-creators-1lca https://dev.to/edwardartist/i-built-an-ai-minecraft-thumbnail-maker-for-youtube-creators-1lca <p>Creating a Minecraft video is already a lot of work, and thumbnails can easily become another slow step. A good thumbnail needs a clear story, a strong focal point, readable text, and the right Minecraft feel — especially on mobile.</p> <p>So I built <strong>Minecraft Thumbnail Maker</strong>, a focused AI tool that turns a video idea into a bold 16:9 thumbnail.</p> <p>It supports:</p> <ul> <li>Minecraft-specific formats such as 100 Days, SMP, Hardcore, PvP, Building, Redstone, and Horror</li> <li>Controls for the scene, mood, and title style</li> <li>Optional reference images for custom skins, characters, builds, or poses</li> <li>Downloadable 1K, 2K, and 4K results</li> </ul> <p>The goal is simple: help creators get to a strong first draft faster, while still leaving room to polish the final thumbnail in their usual editor.</p> <p>👉 <strong>Try it here:</strong> <a href="https://minecraftthumbnailmaker.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://minecraftthumbnailmaker.com</a></p> <p>I'm still improving the tool, especially consistency and reference-image handling, so feedback from Minecraft creators would be genuinely useful.
