Ten AI tools worth trying in November 2024

Executive overview

AI tooling is expanding fast, but most people only track a handful of apps. This video covers ten tools across productivity, creativity, and automation — from Anthropic's experimental computer-use API to free consumer utilities.

The standout shift: AI is moving from single-task responders to ambient agents that act on your behalf.

The biggest unlock is AI that operates your computer or manages your context — not just answers questions.

The ten tools

1. Claude computer use — Anthropic's API lets developers instruct Claude to control a computer: view screen, move cursor, click, type. Still experimental; targets repetitive desktop tasks like email triage, calendar entries, and order returns.

2. HubSpot AI prompt library — Free curated collection of 20 prompts covering marketing, sales, branding, analytics, pitching, and email strategy. Lowers the barrier to delegating tasks to AI.

3. Get Magic — Human personal assistants (Philippines-based, top 1% vetted) augmented with custom AI tools. Handles calendar, email, research, social media, and eBay listings. Human reliability combined with AI speed.

4. Palette FM — Browser-based tool that colorizes black-and-white photos. Upload an image, choose from suggested palettes. No download required.

5. Pika App — Viral AI video-effect tool for creative social content or ads. Free tier available; paid tier for faster processing. Free wait times can reach ~24 hours.

6. Socratic — AI study app for high school and college level. Input questions by text, voice, or photo. Returns study guides, videos, and step-by-step solutions across science, math, literature, and social studies. Proactively recommends related concepts.

7. Rewind AI — Runs in the background on your phone, capturing screen and audio. Compresses, transcribes, and stores data locally. Acts as a passive memory layer — nothing is lost. Privacy trade-off: everything on your device is recorded.

8. Ghostwriter (Telegram bot) — Custom-built writing assistant trained on preferred styles. Converts voice notes into clean, structured text in Russian or English. Lives inside Telegram for low-friction daily use.

9. Formula Bot — Converts plain-language descriptions into Excel or Sheets formulas. Also handles SQL queries, chart generation, data analysis, multi-source connections, and document editing.

10. Namelix — Brand-name generator. Input a product concept; get name suggestions with auto-generated logos. Useful for early-stage brainstorming with co-founders.
