Ask HN: What's your favorite AI tool?
1 point by bsuki on Feb 8, 2025 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments
Hey all,

I started learning code about two months ago; I'm not at the level where I can use Cursor and understand what it is doing, but I want to know what tools exist as a sense of direction.

What are your favorite tools? How do you use them?

Thank you!



This isn't about coding or anything but so far this is my favorite AI tool, hopefully it helps someone else out.

I need help generating logos for websites... this is the best tool I've found and it works really well. It's free. I type in a prompt and just keep regenerating images until it gives me something I can use.

It generated these logos for example: https://www.chargersixpack.com/data/assets/logo_default/sixp...

https://www.lexuslxforum.com/data/assets/logo_alternate/lexu...

https://www.ramchargerforums.com/data/assets/logo_default/ra...

That has saved me a ton of time in Photoshop... on the Ram Charger logo, I did add the Ram logo myself.

I have to cut out the image, clean it up sometimes, but it's way faster than doing them from scratch.

Some example prompts would be: Draw me a logo that says "Hummer EV Forum". Make it look similar to the Hummer logo and 3d chrome.

That produced this, for example: https://labs.google/fx/tools/image-fx/4lr2563iu0000

It does mis-spell and make mistakes all the time but since you can iterate over and over for free, it's no big deal. Hope this helps.


ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode is one of my favorite. We travelled to Paris and Rome last year and just having a “witty, and informative tour guide with knowledge of scientific and cultural history” was very engaging, fun, and useful throughout our trips.

It’s also very useful when reading a book, especially historical ones where auditory medium works well. iPad with stage manager running Kindle and ChatGPT is my usual setup.


https://cofyt.app instant summaries, takeaways and detailed answers grounded in the vides. This is not your average summarizer but something better to save time and as a learning tool.

PS: while this is my tool and this can be considered self promotion i´m trying to add value to the OP question and feedback is welcomed.
