Top 5 Best Tools to Use Artificial Intelligence for Free

Artificial intelligence has invaded our daily lives. Just like an email address, a CRM for sales teams, or an emailing software for marketing teams, AI has become a must-have. But these machine learning models are, for the most part, paid. For a small business, a solopreneur, or a simple explorer of Web 3.0, the accumulation of subscriptions is hard on the wallet. Fortunately, there are free artificial intelligence solutions. École Cube takes stock of the best tools and their applications.

What is AI?

Before delving into the details of artificial intelligence tools, let's return to an essential question: What is AI?

These are systems based on several technological developments; ranging from machine learning to natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, Big Data, and even intelligent robots.

All these innovations allow AI to perform tasks normally reserved for human intelligence. For example, voice recognition, language comprehension, data analysis, problem-solving, decision-making, and learning.

Due to its ability to "copy" human intelligence, AI is transforming many areas of our lives, particularly the world of work. These technologies facilitate content creation for marketing teams, data analysis for financiers, targeting candidates for HR, ... Overall, it promises to improve efficiency, accuracy, and task automation.

But are such artificial intelligences free? That's what we're going to see.
