Introduction:

You recognize it: you want to use AI for school or work for free, and you'll soon end up with ChatGPT. Despite the fact that ChatGPT can do a lot, there are unfortunately also things that he is less good at and that require specialized AI tools. Unfortunately, there is often a payment model behind these specialized tools and you quickly have to subscribe. At the moment, the start-ups around AI are flying around your ears. To keep an overview, we have created AI-Amigos, the website with AI knowledge, the latest AI tools and reviews on how to best use these tools. AI start-ups have often raised a lot of money and cannot afford to offer their tools to their target group for free. They usually use a lure to recruit users, such as a 7-day trial period or a number of limited features.

That's why in this blog, I'll give you 5 tips and tricks to use AI for free. First of all, it's good to find out what your goal is with using AI. Want to create an image or improve your SEO? To keep this organized, I have highlighted several categories.

Tip 1: How to use AI to create images for free

As I mentioned above, most tools have a trial period available to test the premium version. After testing a few tools, both free and premium with trial versions to generate images, Canva stands head and shoulders above the rest. Additionally, you can take advantage of a 30-day free trial. See our results below with various prompts:

Prompt: A smiling Mexican man eating a burrito, including a sombrero on his head.

Prompt: An image generator from the future

So, our recommendation is to use Canva to generate free images via AI.

Tip 2: Make ChatGPT texts look like they were written by you with this tool

ChatGPT is often used to create texts, blog posts, and much more. Within 5 years, we expect people to write considerably less themselves and mainly leave this to AI. However, right now you can easily tell when a text was written by AI or by a human. But how can you fix this? For this purpose, the free tool Humanizer.ai was devised. A kind of translation tool that converts your text from AI into text that appears to be written by a human being. Here is the result:

Prompt: Write a short story about a Mexican man eating a burrito

‍
ChatGPT result:
Juan sat under the shade of an old oak tree in the village square, enjoying the warm afternoon sun. The square was full of life with children laughing and stalls selling colorful goods. In his hands, he held a freshly prepared burrito, his favorite meal. With every bite, Juan tasted the juicy chunks of beef, spicy salsa, creamy guacamole, and crispy lettuce. The flavors brought him back to the evenings at home, where his family came together to cook and share stories. While he was enjoying, his nephews ran to him. Laughing, he broke his last piece of burrito to share with them. Together they sat under the oak tree, enjoying the simple pleasures of life and each other's company.

Nice story, isn't it? And now let's see what Humanizer.ai this makes:
On a warm afternoon, Juan sat under the old oak tree in the village square. Kids laughed and stalls filled with colorful wares. In his hands, he held a fresh burrito, the only meal he liked to eat. Every bite, he tasted the juicy chunks of beef, spicy salsa, creamy guacamole, and crispy lettuce. Every taste reminded him of summer nights at home, the family then got together and cooked suppers. When he was almost done, his nephews ran to him. Laughing happily, he broke the burrito in two and shared the larger half with them. Together, they sat under the oak tree, gesturing to passers-by and laughing at their own jokes.

In addition to the above output, they also have another interesting feature: removing OpenAI watermarks in the future. This way, you can still make your generated text look like human text.

Tip 3: How to use AI to make videos for free

Video content is increasingly popular and the demand for video content is also increasing. Thanks to video, people can easily understand the information and don't always have the tension to read text anymore. For this question, we also have the video maker of Canva tried, but unfortunately this has not been successful yet. As far ahead as they are in terms of images, they are unfortunately behind when it comes to video. But don't worry, we've found a tool to help you make videos for free: Hey Gen. All you need for this is a script. Once your script is ready, you can choose a matching avatar plus voice and AI will create your video. See here the result from our video about the AI-Amigos website. What do you think about it? Try HeyGen for 2 free videos via this link.

Good luck using the above AI tools! For more AI tools, check out our overview.
