🛠️ 5 Amazing Future Tools

1. Water: This tool enables you to train your own version of ChatGPT. You give it examples of how you’d like it to respond to certain queries and it learns. You can also connect it up to other tools that you use like AirTable (or really anything that connects via Zapier) and it will use data from those sources in the responses as well. Build your own personal ChatGPT for yourself or build something that’s a resource for others and monetize it. You can even demo the beta for free right now.

2. Switchboard Canvas: This one is really cool for all the marketers and social media managers out there. Want to automate the process of creating quote cards, memes, or images within content? You can use this tool to generate an image from text. It will automatically convert tweets to images or pull text from a blog post and make an image with a quote on it. You can even create a ton of images in bulk from a list of quotes. This can pretty much automate Instagram type content for you.

3. Durable: This is an automated website builder. Tell the tool where you’re located and what your business does and it will generate an entire site for you. This tool seems best suited for local brick-and-mortar businesses that are looking to get a quick (but beautiful) website online. It will generate the copy, add your calls-to-action, find images for your site, and then organize them all into a great-looking website for your business.

4. Vocal Remover: Ever wanted to do Karaoke to your favorite song without the vocals? This AI-powered tool will listen to a song and then remove the vocal track from it, leaving only the backing instruments, making any song karaoke-able. It will also give you a track with just the vocals and no backing music so you could make your own remix with new instruments. The best part… totally free to use.

5. Maroofy: Looking for new music to listen to because you’ve been listing to the same 15-bands for the past 20-years? Maroofy is for you. It’s a free tool where you type in the name of a band or song and it will use GPT-3 to find similar music to the band you entered. I tried it on some my random tastes in music (metal and lo-fi beats) and it came up with really comparable music in both circumstances.

🗞️ 3 Fascinating News Articles

1. OpenAI launches ChatGPT Plus, starting at $20 per month - OpenAI is basically the fastest growing company ever. The pace at which it grew was bogging down the system and people were getting frustrated about the downtime. Now, you can pay $20/month to get on the Plus plan and get access even when the server is under heavy load. You’ll also get access to new features early and faster response times. It also appears that it can handle slightly longer text inputs as well. But don’t worry, the free version is here to stay. This is for those people (like me) who want access all the time, no matter what! :)

2. Google CEO promises new A.I. features are coming to search ‘very soon’ - Google has been showing some concern over the rise of ChatGPT as people turn to it over Google to get their questions answered. Google has been working on LaMDA behind-the-scenes for quite some time now but have been slow to release it over ethical concerns (as well as loss in ad revenue concerns). But with ChatGPT quickly eating Google’s lunch in the “search for knowledge” arena, Google is ready to start rolling out their own version into search soon. I’ve got no dog in this fight. I’m excited to play with all the new tools that come out. The more these companies battle it out, the better it is for us as consumers of these tools

3. Microsoft Teams adds AI-powered productivity - If you use Microsoft Teams for meetings, they just added the power of GPT-3 to the service. You can now meet with people on the platform, and it will automatically take notes on the meeting for you and keep track of action items that need to happen… And it only costs $7/month. This type of thing will replace a lot of manual work that used to be handled by VAs.

💰️ A Money Idea To Try

Sell Image-Editing as a Service:

There are so many AI editing tools coming out these days. There are tools that can add color to black and white photos. Tools that can remove backgrounds. Tools that can take small, pixelated images and upscale them into higher quality images. Tools that can remove unwanted objects from images. There are even ethically-debated watermark remover tools available.

I recently even demoed a tool on my YouTube channel where I showed how to use text prompts to add or remove items from photographs. You don’t even need tools like Photoshop anymore to manipulate images.

Create a website, fix up a bunch of images with these various tools and add them to your website as portfolio images. Then start offering your services, linking out to your website, on various social media platforms. Boom, you’ve got a quick and minimal-effort little service business. As you scale, bring in VAs to do the editing for you.
