We all know that OpenAI actually started the trend of AI tools after releasing ChatGPT.
After that, we saw everyone shift to AI. Developers and big companies began building AI tools, and even individuals started learning about artificial intelligence.
Thanks to that, we have tons of popular AI tools like RunwayML, Lovable, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Cursor, Stitch, NotebookLM, Leonardo AI, Framer AI, and the list goes on.
That's not all. Every day, tons of new AI tools are launched, which makes it difficult for people to find the best ones for their needs.
That's why I spend a lot of time testing some of the best new AI tools and write a couple of posts every month to share the ones that truly stand out.
And so, here's one of those posts.
Note: This post contains no affiliate links, so when you try any of these tools, I won't be making a single penny. I test many AI tools every week and only suggest the ones that can genuinely help and provide value to my readers.
My only intention with this post is to provide value, and if you find something helpful, you can subscribe to me on Substack.
With that said, let's get started.
1. Nano Banana
I think most of you have heard about this one quite a lot recently.
To be honest, earlier I used to talk a lot about Leonardo AI because I believed it was one of the best AI image generators.
And I loved it because it was free up to a certain limit, and the team kept integrating the latest image models that allowed us to generate highly realistic images.
But now, after the launch of Nano Banana, I've started using it much more to generate and edit images exactly the way I want.
To try it out, simply visit the Gemini website, select the "Create images" option, and write a detailed prompt to generate the image.
I tried writing a specific prompt, and here's what it generated:
To give you an idea, I'm now using Nano Banana a lot for editing images, and honestly, I don't feel the need for Canva anymore.
You can also try Nano Banana multiple times for free each day, after which you'll need to upgrade.
2. Strix
If I talk about the tech niche, we now have a variety of powerful AI tools that can generate websites, build apps, create resumes, AI headshots, scrape the web, and even review code.
Recently, I used an open-source AI tool that lets you perform penetration testing within hours with the help of a team of AI agents.
If you don't know what penetration testing is, it's basically a simulated cyberattack performed on a computer system, network, or application to identify security weaknesses that hackers could exploit.
Usually, companies hire professional penetration testers to legally break into their systems so they can detect and fix vulnerabilities before real attackers do.
But now, thanks to Strix, anyone can find real security vulnerabilities, validate them, and even generate detailed reports automatically.
To get started, simply visit their website, click on the "Get Started" button, or enter your domain to begin a penetration test.
As for pricing, Strix currently offers three different plans that you can explore below.
3. MailTester
You know, I have a newsletter on Substack and also on Gumroad.
I've even started a few cohorts where I send emails to my subscribers so some of them can join and buy my cohort product.
Along with that, I'm even working with several clients, and most of our communication happens through emails.
That's when I started using MailTester, an AI tool that helps me analyze my newsletters, campaigns, and other emails, and gives me the necessary insights to boost engagement, open rates, and conversions.
To get started, simply visit their website and click the "Sign Up" button to create your account.
I tried sending an AI-generated email to check the analysis report, and here's what it delivered.
Honestly, the report was far more detailed and insightful than I expected.
So, if you're someone who works heavily with emails, you should definitely try MailTester to get better results from your campaigns.
As for pricing, it gives you 100 credits for free, and after that, you'll need to upgrade to their Pro plan or purchase extra credits.
4. Instruct AI
Earlier it was all about finding new AI tools and using them for your needs.
But now, the spotlight has shifted toward AI agents, and people are more interested in AI tools that help automate tedious workflows.
That's where we can see some popular AI tools like n8n, Make, and Zapier.
But most of them aren't very simple to use and require some learning before you can actually automate tasks.
That's where I want to talk about a new AI tool called Instruct AI.
It lets you automate any task just by writing a simple prompt describing what you want to automate.
Yes, you read that right.
To get started, simply visit their website and click the "Start for free" button or type a prompt about what you want to automate.
As for pricing, Instruct AI gives you 50 free credits every month, and if you need more, you can upgrade to one of their paid plans.
5. Ada
You know, we have tons AI tools to generate websites, apps, even to review code, and so on.
But what about an AI tool specifically to act as a data analyst?
Well, that's where I want to talk about Ada, an AI tool that helps you analyze your complicated data with ease.
To get started, you just need to visit their website and click on the "Start Free Beta" button to create your account.
Then you can upload your data, ask relevant questions, do deep analysis, and more.
As for the pricing, it provides 500 free credits in the free plan, and then you can upgrade if you want to.
6. Snapdeck
If you follow me, you may know that I talked about Gamma, Guidde, Decktopus, and some other AI tools that let you generate presentations with AI.
Well, recently I heard about Snapdeck that lets you generate way better presentations than the above ones.
To get started, simply visit their website and click on the "Sign in" button, where you will see the option to create your account.
I've tried it myself with a topic, and here's what it generated:
Sure, I can edit it further the way I want and export it when I am satisfied.
As for the pricing, it provides a free plan and two paid plans that you can go with.
Hope you like it.
That's it — thanks.
