Understand how AI tools work
A stand-alone AI tool describes AI-powered software that’s designed to be used on its own. Stand-alone AI tools can be accessed online or downloaded to a device with little or no technical setup.
- For example, Speeko is an AI speech coach designed to help you communicate with confidence.
- Speeko uses AI to analyze your voice and give you feedback on how to improve your communication skills in any setting
An integrated AI feature refers to a built-in enhancement to a particular piece of software. - For example, Neural Filters is an AI tool that’s built right into Adobe Photoshop. It lets you edit images by blurring backgrounds, adjusting colors, changing facial expressions, and much more
A custom AI solution is an application that’s tailormade to solve a specific problem.
An AI model is a computer program trained on a set of data to recognize patterns and perform specific tasks. Think of the AI model as the engine and the AI tool as the car. The model provides the underlying capabilities while the tools interface assists you in completing tasks.
An AI agent is an AI-powered tool that can autonomously perform tasks with little human oversight. For example, AI agents can automatically respond to emails, post content on social media, or monitor computer networks. You set the rules for how the AI agents operate, and the AI agents complete tasks following those rules, allowing you to work on other tasks.
