# Top 7 Best AI Tools in 2024

AI is the latest technological trend not to be missed in 2024. And for good reason: there are numerous uses to boost productivity!

Since late 2022, artificial intelligence has become omnipresent. GAFAM and startups are competing to offer the best solution. For users, this AI race is a boon: it allows them to take full advantage of these new technologies. But with the multiplication of AI tools, it can sometimes be difficult to navigate. So which solution is the best? École Cube offers you its ranking.

1. ChatGPT, the reference in generative AI

It's impossible to talk about the best AI tools without mentioning ChatGPT. Open AI's solution has truly revolutionized and democratized artificial intelligence. Since its release, big names in tech have been redoubling their efforts to compete with it.

Yet, ChatGPT continues to position itself as a market leader. And for good reason, the conversational virtual assistant can do almost anything:

Brainstorming for content creation.

Personalized prospecting emails.

Code writing.

A weight loss program.

And many other things.

The only thing you have to do is provide it with a precise prompt to get the desired results. And since ChatGPT operates in conversational mode, you can refine your requests as you go along, until you get what you want.

Several subscription offers adapted to everyone

The text generation capabilities are impressive

Considerable time savings on a variety of tasks.

Disadvantages

Adding a personal touch is necessary, as the platform lacks originality

2. Mistral AI, the made-in-France artificial intelligence tool

This is the AI tool that comes to compete with ChatGPT. Created by 3 French people, Mistral AI offers ultra-performant open-source artificial intelligence models. Thanks to their high-level reasoning capacity, these models are capable of performing complex tasks; such as comprehension, text transformation, code generation, predictive analysis, and automation.

6. Lucide AI, for detecting AI content

While generative artificial intelligence allows for creating content very quickly, it also has its downsides. The internet finds itself with astronomical quantities of AI-based content. But unfortunately, quality is not always up to par. And Google and other search engines notice this. They penalize low-value sites. In other words, content written entirely by artificial intelligence.

Hence the importance of always adding your personal touch when using AI tools. And to know if your human touch is sufficient, there's Lucide AI. In addition to detecting duplicate content, this solution also detects the use of artificial intelligence.

This is particularly useful for companies that pay web writers to write their content.

Advantages

Very fast analysis of AI content

A flexible API that allows integrating Lucide features into your professional ecosystem

Disadvantages

There is no free version

As it's a French company, it's only possible to analyze content in French.

7. Murf AI, and artificial voice generation

Text, images, videos, ... All that was missing was voice to complete our ranking of the best AI tools. And for that, there's Murf AI. The platform specializes in artificial voice generation. It modulates intonation, speed, and tone. Its control of accentuation is so precise that you'll almost feel like you're talking to a real person. Depending on the tonality used, pauses added, ... the AI would almost be capable of conveying emotions.

As a bonus, know that Murf AI doesn't just serve to modulate voices on standard videos. It can also be used to create music.

While the feats are spectacular, this artificial intelligence can also serve some ill-intentioned people, notably through the explosion of fake news.

Extremely precise voice modulation.

Complete multimedia integration.

Disadvantages

A rather complex learning curve

Pricing adapted mainly to large companies
