Really unique take on AI tools, you can give it an idea, eg compare a CV to a job advert and it'll go away and make a tool that uses AI to do just that! Team are very active and engaged with the user community and have regularly rolled out new features and updates. Be sure to give this a try, so many uses.

Great site, lots of fantastic music and SFX. Love the inventive use of AI to help you quickly find and curate music for videos. Great site for creators seeking high-quality music, especially if they're tired of using the free YouTube music library..
I can write articles, but I really don't like the interlinking side of things. I just started using this tool, but it seems like it can help me with something I struggled with before. It helps me find articles that need links and find relevant articles on my site to add a link. But wait, there's more! If you dislike the suggested link, it can create a new section in the article and add a new paragraph for the new link. Saves a lot of time. The tool had some problems at first, but the team has been working hard to fix them, and it's improving quickly.

AltText.ai
Love this tool; it's been a huge time saver for me. I no longer mess around renaming files or adding descriptions, just upload, check the AI-generated text, and I'm done.

TabExtend
Love tabExtend as a way of organising all the various websites I use. I've collected so many online tools over the years I often forget what I've got, but by saving all the links to tabExtend, and using the Kanban board layout to group them, it's made it super simple to find what I need, when I need it. Since starting to use it the team have been very responsive to feedback/questions and have introduced a number of updates, including a mobile app. Great product that I'm sure I'm not yet using to the full potential.

I'm using WZ most weeks to conduct research and it's a great tool. The team have always been very responsive and recently they've been putting out good quality educational content. The platforms had a number of updates since I started using it, looking forward to seeing how they build on an already excellent tool.

Great product, love the blend of customizable short links, QR codes, and data tracking. The team has also made some very interesting updates in the time I've been using the platform, primarily with a new Microsites feature, enabling the creation of engaging mobile-first digital experiences. I've had no reason to test out the support, the platform just works and is very easy to use. I can see which links are getting clicks, easily change the destination, group them via smart folders, it's just a solid tool, great job team, looking forward to seeing what other ideas you introduce.
Branalyzer Brand's Instant Analyzer
This is a good toolbox for those in the online content creation game. I like being able to check out the competition, see what's working for them, and understand how they're getting traffic. The team has always been responsive and they've rolled out a number of new features since I joined. Some of the key features I often make use of: Brand backlinks Brand keywords Brand competitors Brand top pages (all for learning about a website, e.g. their backlinks/keywords competition and top pages). They've also got an expired domain hunter, check a website and see which domains they link to that are expired so you can pickup the domain and either spin up a new site or redirect to an existing site. There's loads more, still exploring what this can do and the new features.

I've used this on and off for a while. Good selection of templates that are directly accessible in PowerPoint while I work. The assets are very professional looking and certainly makes it look like I know what I'm doing with a slide deck!

I've been testing out Opus on and off for a while and in general it does a great job. It's ideal if you've a talking head video you want cutting up into shorts, it does a good job of selecting interesting clips and adding subtitles to them. I've been using it on a Pilates channel, which isn't really what it's for and it sometimes struggles, but I've still managed to get some great usable shorts out of our long form videos. A great time saver that removes the need for lots of editing and converting to vertical format.

ContentIn
As someone who struggles to come up with ideas for LinkedIn posts this has been a great tool for me to use. Lots of different frameworks/templates and you can get an AI first draft written for you using any of the temaplates. As with all AI generation, you'll need to do some editing to make sure it's your tone of voice, but it's made coming up with post ideas and content a LOT easier! Also good to get the emails that have very helpful tips and guides regarding LinkedIn. Team have deployed a number of improvements in the short time I've used it and are very open and responsive to feedback.

CrawlQ Audience Research
CrawlQ continues to get better and better. It's my go-to research tool, delivering fantastic insights into ideal customers. Generate some of these insights and pass them to your clients; trust me you'll get an amazingly positive reaction! I also use it to help with content generation, getting great results when asking it to generate emails and LinkedIn posts. There is a learning curve, but there is a supportive Facebook community to help you out. Wouldn't surprise me if this became a must-have tool for company marketing teams, it's like having a marketing assistant with you at all times!

Really great platform for quickly creating landing pages. It's got everything you need, a stack of ready to use templates, ability to create follow up email sequence, analytics, QR code generator, plus AI content generation. The team have always been very helpful and quick to respond to any questions I have. The site editor might seem a little basic if you're used to making full websites, but it does the job.
Enjoying using the platform, it makes it super simple for me to share instructions with clients. Not only can I quickly record a video of what to do, it can also create written instructions! This is a killer feature and helps build guides and instructions quick and easy. What's missing is a simple online video editor to save me having to download, edit, and then upload for sharing.

I've only started to use Sessions recently but so far I'm very impressed. It was already an easy-to-use platform with well thought out features, these new additions elevate it to the next level! Having auto-generated AI summarisation is a huge time save, looking forward to digging in to the other new features available.

MeetGeek
MeetGeek has been a brilliant addition to my meetings. I always seem to forget to note down a few things that I need to come back to at a later date, but now I don't need to worry as it's all done for me. Team has been responsive and helpful whenever I've had a problem, and they've had some great ideas for new features, such as using AI to write a summary of your meeting.

A solid platform to build a website. Like all platforms, it has a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it you can make a great looking site very quickly. The team are very active with the community they've built and are regularly releasing updates and improvements based on use feedback.
