AI isn’t going to take your job. The folks who know how to use it … they just might.

Here are three helpful AI tools, all of which can be accessed and used for free. Enterprise-scale usage often requires upgrading to a paid account, but it’s not necessary for most users.

Zapier

Zapier is the leading robotic process automation solution on the market. It allows for “ETL” (extract-transform-load) data work between some 5,000 applications, as well as a deep bench of proprietary tools.

You can create an account at zapier.com. A useful quick-start guide is here.

ChatGPT

OpenAI’s ChatGPT is the leading generative AI for text content. Based on the GPT-3 language model, it creates human-like text in response to user-generated prompts.

You can create a free account at chat.openai.com. (For advanced users, Zapier can be used to build ChatGPT prompts and outputs into other apps.)

Midjourney

Midjourney is the top image generation AI on the market. It’s only usable through Discord, which has somewhat limited adoption.

If you’re a Discord user, you can join a Midjourney server here.

OpenAI offers a web-based image generator called Dall-E 2. It can be accessed here.
