Quick free ways to spark your creativity
You can do some amazing things with AI in a minute or less. Read on for eight ways to start making something new. They’re all free, fast and fun.
Catch up on recent Wonder Tools posts 👇
1. Compose a 30-second song | Splash Pro
Input: A few words to describe the kind of song you want.
Get: A short song you can download as an audio or video clip.
Options: Set your song’s character with a brief prompt. Speed it up by raising the BPM — beats per minute. For a darker mood, set the Mode to minor.
Example: Below👇 is a mini song I generated for a video I’m working on.
2. Create an attractive document draft | Craft AI
Input: Type in a sentence summing up the kind of info you’d like to build on.
Get: An elegantly formatted document made up of AI-generated starting notes. No sign-up, subscription or download required because it’s intended to demo how Craft docs look. You can edit the AI-generated doc in Craft (why I like Craft). Go to https://creator.craft.do/ and type in a prompt.

3. Make a quick compelling slide | Beautiful.ai
Input: Type in a phrase or sentence that describes a slide you want to make.
Get: A slide with a quote, chart, or other custom visual you can screenshot. You can use this free on Beautiful.ai’s home page without an account.
Example: wordcloud slide with the names of the planets.
4. Summarize any YouTube video | Summarize.tech
Input: Paste in a YouTube video link.
Get: An instant concise summary. Click “See more” to get a more detailed overview of sub-sections. Shortcut: Summarize any YouTube video by typing http://summarize.tech/ followed by any YouTube video link.
Example: Summary of Biden’s 2022 State of the Union speech.
Alternative: Eightify lets you add a video summary button to Chrome.
5. Dream up a 4-second AI-generated video | Runway.ml
Input: Type in a description of any 4-second visual scene. Or upload any image to turn it into a short video.
Get: A vivid short video clip you can share or download.

Input: Type in the title of any book, movie, play, or song.
Get: A six-word summary. I designed this bot in a minute on Poe.com, which lets you write a custom prompt to make a single-purpose bot. Read more on why Poe is a useful AI tool.
Alternative bots I made: MemoryAid provides mnemonic devices for anything you want to remember. 2nd Grade Teacher explains anything clearly and simply.
7. Clean up background noise on any file | Podcast.adobe.com
Input: Upload any audio file up to 500 mb or 30 minutes long.
Get: A clean version without background noise.
Also: Try Adobe’s separate free Mic Check tool to test whether you’re speaking too far or too close to your computer’s mic, and whether background noise is likely to impact your audio quality for recordings or Zoom calls.
8. Cook up an AI-powered recipe 🎂 | Taste Bud
Input: Type in some ingredients (or leftovers) in your fridge.
Get: A nicely-formatted recipe note card you can save on the site or print. I can’t yet vouch for how tasty the recipes will actually be, but I like the design. :)
Example: Banana Nut Maple Muffin recipe

As I get better at prompt engineering, I find ChatGPT 3.5 to be an amazing brainstorming tool. I can prep it with either Quicksilver or H.I.V.E. meta-prompts and quickly get some ideas.
The tools you showcased are nifty, too. It's all a bit overwhelming, though, which is why I'm thinking of focusing on ChaptGPT and getting better with it.
Hi Jeremy. First, thank you for your great contribution to all things interesting and fun. I can't wait for Friday when I get to check out Wonder Tools in my email. Just love it, can't thank you enough. Your question , I believe, was what was my favourite tool. And I have to say Bing - Image Creator. - I have tried so many and yet Image Creator is ahead of the pack. I am creating a book cover and no matter how I tried, I cannot get a picture of a decent Centaur. Wouldn't know where I can find one?
