Nine AI tools a content creator uses daily to save time and money
Executive overview
Staying productive as a creator in 2024 means spending less time on repetitive tasks — editing, research, translation, short-form clips. Nine tools now cover most of that work at a fraction of the cost of human labour.
The leverage isn't in any single tool — it's in stacking them so every stage of content production is at least partially automated.
Presentation and document tools
- Gamma App generates slide decks from a text outline; choose card count, style, then review for hallucinations before use
- ChatPDF lets you chat with any uploaded document — research papers, contracts — and extract specific answers
- Descript transcribes video, enables text-based editing, auto-removes filler words, and drafts social posts from footage
Research and ideation
- Perplexity Pro is the daily driver for topic research — generates outlines and idea lists with minimal hallucination
- Use it to produce a large raw list (e.g. 50 idioms, 50 business ideas), then curate the 10 that resonate personally
- ChatGPT voice mode is useful on the go — ask questions hands-free while travelling
Personalisation and scale
- Custom GPTs can be trained on your past emails, media kit, and brand history to act as a personal sales manager
- Assistants use the custom GPT to reply in your voice when you're unavailable
- HeyGen generates a video avatar from a submitted clip; combine with AI-written scripts to produce multilingual content without re-recording
Short-form video
- Opus Clip takes a long-form video link, analyses up to 90 minutes free, and generates ranked short-clip options
- Roughly one in five clips is strong enough to publish as-is
- Clips can be cross-posted to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok with one pass
Translation and voice
- DeepL is ~95% accurate for professional translation; keep a native speaker for final review on slang and names
- Captions AI has a free voiceover tool and an Eye Contact feature that corrects gaze for scripted recordings
