Not Just ChatGPT: 10 Easy-To-Use AI Tools to Stay Ahead of The Game

The messaging from stakeholders is clear: AI has the potential to revolutionize the way we do Business.

Also riding this “transformative wave” is a growing fear of missing out (FOMO) among Businesses that have not yet embraced AI tools, according to Jason Kessler, digital director at Canadian marketing agency William Joseph Communications.

“Businesses that resist AI adoption risk losing out on comPetitive advantages and market share,” Joseph wrote in a LinkedIn blog. They may find it difficult to meet customer expectations in an era where personalized experiences and rapid responses are the norm.

AI’s advantages include automation, improved decision-making, and enhanced customer experiences,making them useful tools to stay ahead in a comPetitive landscape, Kessler wrote.

“If you’re not using AI, you’re falling behind,” Zain Kahn told his 458,800 Twitter followers. Kahn goes by “The AI Guy” and claims to be building the world’s biggest AI newsletter.

Here are 10 AI tools to stay ahead of the game suggested by Kahn and Kirk Borne, an advisor to startups and speaker who claims to be a top influencer in #BigData #DataScience #AI.

12ft.io

An online tool that unlocks paid articles online, 12ft shows the cached, unpaywalled version of pages that Google doesn’t show. Here’s how 12ft explains it: “News sites want Google to index their content so it shows up in search results. So they don’t show a paywall to the Google crawler. We benefit from this because the Google crawler will cache a copy of the site every time it crawls it. All we do is show you that cached, unpaywalled version of the page.”
