1. AI chatbots The best place to start is the category that brought AI to the mainstream. AI chatbots allow you to chat with an AI large language model, letting you ask questions and get answers in a conversational style. The best chatbots use advanced reasoning and logic, write code, and make mathematical calculations. ChatGPT ChatGPT is the current industry leader, and the first chatbot that set the scene on fire. It's powered by OpenAI's GPT-3 and GPT-4 models, and it's surprisingly flexible and very easy to use. Learn how to use ChatGPT, understand how it works, and discover how to use it to write marketing copy, do market research, or write sales emails. When you connect ChatGPT to Zapier, you can automate ChatGPT, so you can access the power of the AI chatbot from within any of your favorite apps. Claude Anthropic's safe and creative chatbot, Claude has impressive memory: it can remember up to 150,000 words in each conversation. This makes it useful to have long, step-by-step discussions of a problem or to upload a PDF and ask questions. Bing AI (Microsoft Copilot) Microsoft's close relationship with OpenAI was a positive step to Bing Search: it can search the web and generate answers based on the results. It's also connected to DALL·E 3, so if you ask for images, you'll get four visual variations of your prompt. Microsoft is bringing all its AI features into a single name — Microsoft Copilot — so look out for that rebranding across its product line. Zapier Central Zapier Central is an experimental AI workspace where you can teach bots to work across thousands of apps. But the interface is a chatbot, which means that creating your own AI agent is as simple as using ChatGPT. Tell your bot what to do when it's triggered, how to process or summarize data, and which actions it should take. You can trigger behaviors on demand, when new data comes through any app in your tech stack, or when you use a specific keyword in a message to the bot. It's AI chat, automation, and data analysis all in one place. 2. AI apps for content creation Entire movies have been made about writer's block. These apps are here to break it. By entering your prompts, starting from templates, or using recipes, you can use AI models as a co-writer, helping you put together first drafts faster. Jasper Jasper is a powerful AI content creation platform, favoring users who need a high volume of content. It packs dozens of templates to help you get started, connects to the internet to find research and sources, and also lets you generate images with AI. All your content creation needs are covered here. You can also connect Jasper to thousands of other apps using Zapier. Copy.ai Copy.ai is a slower-paced option, acting as a writing co-pilot. Each of your prompts generates a list of options, and it's up to you to pull the best ones into your document. This is better for writing tasks that require more ideation and iteration, such as copywriting. Anyword Anyword helps marketers create content by breaking the generation process down step by step. First, you add your prompt to generate a few titles. Then, you can pick your favorite and see a generated outline. Once you tweak that outline to what you want to cover, you can move forward to generating the final piece. 3. AI apps for text enhancement Spell-checking has been around for a long time, but AI is changing the game. Before, it only detected spelling and basic structure errors. Now, it can spot tone and complex language and offer suggestions to make your writing clearer. Grammarly Grammarly is the mainstream spell- and structure-checking app. It's a complete solution that keeps your English on point, lets you adjust your tone, and suggests shortcuts to simplify wordy or complex phrases.
