We will talk about the top five productive AI tools in 2024. With these tools, you can edit videos like a pro. You can eliminate repetitive and boring copying and pasting. You can improve your writing.
You can analyze documents like a data scientist. Increase your video conference and game levels. I’m sure at least one of these tools will change the way you work.
CapCut
Let’s check these out. First up, I partnered with an amazing AI-powered video editing app called CapCut. And let’s be honest: video editing can take time, skill, and creativity. Sometimes, I just don’t have enough of those.
CapCut is an extremely powerful and free video editing app. CapCut has all of the core video editing functionality you would expect, but its extensive use of AI makes it stand out from other video editing apps.
For example, you can create a video directly with AI. Simply type in some text describing the video that you want, and then CapCut generates a script, a voiceover, and even matching images.
You can also take an existing long-form video, and CapCut will automatically convert it into a short video that you can upload to, say, TikTok or Instagram. It adjusts the aspect ratio, keeps the subject in frame, and even adds captions. Within the editing experience, you’ll find a wide variety of AI tools.
For example, you can remove the background of a video and replace it with any image or color that you want, and you can do all of that without even needing a green screen.
You can correct and enhance the color of your video, making it more vivid and appealing. You can also upscale the resolution and quality of the videos, even if the original was blurry or low quality. You can even add cool effects, and this one’s really fun. You can put in transitions or 3D cartoons, manga, pop, and so much more.
You can also relight a scene. Maybe your lighting wasn’t ideal when you first filmed. You could position the light exactly where you want it and look at how it interacts with the person.
It’s kind of like having a 3D object in a scene. You can also reframe. Here, I have a video filmed in the landscape, but when I click on reframe, it automatically detects where the subject is, and then it locks on that in vertical form. You can even refine the way you look using AI.
For example, I can smooth out my skin or whiten my teeth, and there are so many other improvements, and boy, I could sure use some of them. CapCut also has several AI tools to enhance the audio of your project. You can automatically generate captions from audio, and it’ll even style them for you. You can enhance a voice and isolate a voice. Here’s a video of me speaking on an airplane with lots of background noise. We’re at the airport.
When I turn on voice isolation, it automatically removes all of that background noise. We’re going on two airplanes, and this is the last airplane we’re going in. It’s really kind of like magic. You can also improve how you speak by having AI identify and then remove all of those annoying filler words like “um” and “ah.” And this one is one of my favorites. You can also just change your voice into another voice.
UiPath Clipboard AI
Next, we have UiPath Clipboard AI. If you spend any amount of time copying and pasting data from one application to another, you’ll want to use this. You can even paste it into a pre-formatted table, and it pastes all the data into the correct columns.
This is an insane time saver, especially if you routinely copy and paste lots of data between applications.
Not only that, but you can also copy a text-based message, and it’ll understand all of the data from within the message, and then you can paste that into the correct columns too.
My mind is blown! You can even use it to copy a table of data in Excel and then use it to paste into a web form. If you do any type of boring copying and pasting, this is kind of like having a wizard that can save you from all of that.
Grammarly
Next up, we have Grammarly, an AI tool that can help you with all parts of your writing. You can use it to brainstorm new topics, outline ideas, revise your writing, and even polish it. It’s like having your proofreader and editor follow you around every time you write. Here, for example, I need to write an invitation to a company party.
I can ask Grammarly to assist me with this. I can even use Grammarly to refine the message. Like, let’s make the invitation a little more fun, and maybe a little bit more humorous. As I type, I also get real-time suggestions with improvements to up-level my writing.
The thing I love about Grammarly is you can use it in any of the tools or places where you happen to work, like on Windows or Mac, in apps like Word or PowerPoint, or even on websites. You can also use it on iOS or even on your Android phone.
OpenAI
Next up, we have OpenAI’s Chat GPT, and it can help you with just about anything. At a very basic level, ChatGPT is your AI assistant. You can ask it a question, get an opinion, or even ask it to code or analyze data. And it does a pretty darn good job.
ChatGPT has a free and paid version. If you wouldn’t like to pay, you can use GPT-3.5. If you are interested in paying for GPT-4, that’s pretty good. GPT-4 has some extra features like early access to new features, and up to 5x more messages for GPT-4. Access to file upload, web browsing, advanced data analysis, DALL-E image generation, and custom GPTs.
NVIDIA Broadcast
Last up, we have an AI-powered tool called NVIDIA Broadcast, and you can use it to up-level your video conferencing game. As you know, joining a Zoom or a Teams meeting can sometimes be challenging, especially when you have to deal with things like background noise, poor lighting, low-quality cameras, and microphones, or maybe you just want to hide the messy room behind you or add some cool effects to your video.
With NVIDIA Broadcast, you can improve your audio quality. For example, you can remove unwanted noise from your microphone, such as keyboard clicks, fan noise, or maybe you have a barking dog.

You can add virtual backgrounds or blur effects to any camera, all without using a green screen. You can auto-frame your face, and it’ll follow your movements. That way, you stay in focus and the frame.
Now, this one’s a little creepy. You can have it keep your eyes in focus while you speak. Best of all, you can output the footage to any other application, like OBS, Zoom, Discord, or Microsoft Teams. It’s kind of like having a professional studio directly in your home.
