CATCH OF THE DAY

3 AI Tools We Wish Existed

Many content creators find themselves spending a significant portion of their time (often estimated to be around 10 to 15 hours per week) on admin tasks.

These unglamorous duties, which include everything from invoicing to managing emails, don’t generate clicks or followers but are essential for maintaining their creative businesses.

After reading a HubSpot article on untapped AI opportunities, I realized that while AI is revolutionizing a lot, some of our most time-sucking challenges still haven’t gotten the memo.

As creators, we’re juggling editing marathons, email chaos, and the never-ending quest to stay ahead of trends.

So can AI step up its game and give us back our time?

Here are three problems we are waiting AI to tackle:

#1 Finding Video Footage Without the Guesswork

The Problem:

You’re editing your latest webinar and need the clip where you nailed the perfect “aha!” moment.

But now it’s lost in the abyss of 10 hours of raw footage.

And you got to scrub through hours of footage to find what you are looking for.

Sound familiar?

Well existing tools like Google Photos and Apple Photos can do basic tagging but can’t distinguish “peak enthusiasm” from “meh.”

The big idea: 

We need an AI that is able to tag videos by emotions, objects, and phrases.

Imagine saying, “Find the clip where I geeked out over Feature X,” and—bam!… it’s there.

For creators, this is gold.

Whether you’re making tutorials, short films, or brand reels, this tool could save hours of mindless scrubbing.

Trust me, I’ve spent too many late nights scrubbing through hours of footage wishing for an AI magic wand.

#2 Emails That Actually Prioritize What Matters 

The Problem:

Your inbox is a war zone of sponsorship deals, client pitches, and random “Hi, check out my blog!” messages.

Meanwhile, that $5,000 collaboration offer you’ve been waiting for?

Yeah, it’s chilling on page 5.

Tools like SaneBox is decent for sorting but misses the contextual magic.

The big idea: 

What if there's an AI email system that knows your priorities, like categorizing “Brand Deals,” “Collabs,” or “Fan Outreach” without breaking a sweat.

Oh, and it flags the time-sensitive gems so you don’t miss your next big opportunity.

Inbox zero might still be a myth, but this would get us closer.

#3 Cutting Through the Content Overload 

The Problem: 

Between newsletters, must-watch tutorials, and TikTok trends, it feels like keeping up is a full-time job.

Well spoiler alert… spending 3 hours a day on “research” doesn’t leave much time for creating.

There are tools like Feedly and Jellypod out there but they only focus on specific functions.

• Feedly: Great for curating articles but don’t summarize across formats.

• Jellypod: Turns newsletters into podcasts but doesn’t cover video or social media.

The Big Idea:

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there is an AI-powered digest that delivers a bite-sized brief every morning, that spotlights:

• Key takeaways from newsletters and industry trends.

• Summaries of YouTube tutorials (because who has 20 minutes to “learn Canva hacks”?).

• Tailored insights to help you create smarter, not harder.

This is a no-brainer for creators.

Wait a minute… Bytesize Quest Academy (BSQA) Newsletter already exists!

The solution was there all along! 😏

Jokes aside, having something that cuts down on research time would really benefit even newsletters like BSQA.

The Final Byte

Every minute wasted hunting for a clip, sorting emails, or wading through content overload is a minute you’re not doing what you do best: playing with your cat, crafting your next viral reel, polishing your portfolio, or simply taking a breather to recharge.

While existing AI tools help, there’s still a lot of room for innovation.

The good news?

We’re closer than ever to seeing these solutions become reality.

And until then, we can keep dreaming, tinkering, or, let’s be real, venting about it over coffee.

What’s the one tool you wish existed to make your creative life easier?

Drop a comment with your biggest workflow frustration… bonus points if it’s something hilariously specific.

Let’s see if AI can solve it!

LLMs: Choosing the Right AI 🤖

Feeling lost in the sea of large language models?

This guide breaks down top players like ChatGPT, Claude, and Google Gemini, showing what each excels at.

Meta’s AI Personas: A Short-Lived Experiment 🛑

Meta’s AI-generated profiles, including bots like “Jane Austen” and “Carter,” are facing a wave of backlash from confused and frustrated users.

Critics highlight issues like limited blocking options and the questionable relevance of these bots.

The Big Deal: While Meta envisions a future filled with AI-driven social interactions, this experiment has sparked debates about authenticity, ethics, and user experience.

For now, Meta is removing the bot profiles and addressing bugs, but the skepticism surrounding AI personas remains high.

Meta’s Vision for AI in Social Media 🌐

Meta is doubling down on AI-generated profiles and characters, envisioning them as a regular part of Facebook and Instagram.

These AI personas will have bios, profile pictures, and content-generation capabilities, aiming to drive engagement across platforms.

The Big Deal: While promising fun and utility, critics warn about risks like amplifying false narratives and diluting the platform’s authenticity.

With text-to-video tools on the horizon, Meta’s vision raises big questions about the balance between innovation and safeguards.

AI Teachers Make Their Classroom Debut in Arizona 🍎

Arizona’s Unbound Academy will replace teachers with AI for two hours of daily academic lessons, using platforms like IXL and Khan Academy to adapt content in real-time.

The Big Deal: While students gain personalized learning and more time for life-skills workshops, critics warn that AI can’t replicate the mentorship and emotional support of human teachers.

A bold experiment with big implications for education.

AI-Generated Videos to Dominate Social Media 🎥

Instagram’s new AI video editing tools, expected in 2025, will let users modify nearly any video aspect (outfits, locations, or appearances) using simple text prompts.

The Big Deal: Powered by Meta's Movie Gen AI model, these tools could democratize video editing, sparking creativity without third-party apps like CapCut.

However, concerns over deepfakes and misinformation raise questions about the authenticity of content in an AI-dominated feed.
