20 tech tricks to make your life better, safer and easier

Create custom music tracks

Not everyone is musically savvy, but with AI, it’s pretty easy to pretend you are — or at the very least, make some fun tunes for a loved one who needs a pick-me-up.

Just tell Udio the theme and genre of your song and it will do the rest. I asked it to write a yacht rock song about a guy who loves sunsets, and it created two surprisingly good one-minute clips. You can also customize the lyrics.

Create a simple video clip

Our mobile phone’s built-in software does a good job of editing the videos we take (like our family on the beach), but have you ever wanted to make your video a little more stylish?

AI to try: InVideo

Best for: Rapid content creation

Keyboard time-saving tips

Starter prompt: “The cat on the train”

Visit Invideo to create your own video. No experience necessary. Text prompts can be simple, but the more details you include, the better the results.

You can also add AI narration (David Attenborough’s AI voice is awesome), and by the way, free accounts add a watermark to your videos, but that’s fine if you’re just using it for fun.

Digital Art Sketch

You don’t need to be an AI guru with experience in paid programs like Midjourney to make digital art, so here are some options that anyone can try.

AI to try: Open Art

Best for: Illustrations and animations

Starter prompt: “A lush green meadow with blue skies”

OpenArt starts you off with a simple text prompt, but you can tweak it in a variety of ways, from the image style to the output size. You can also upload your own images to give the AI inspiration, or even include photos of you (or your friends and family) in the art.

If you’ve been infected with the AI creative bug and want more of the same, give OpenArt a try. From sketch to image Generator. Transform your original drawing into a complete digital work of art.
