As of today, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of software products and solutions that incorporate artificial intelligence technologies in one way or another. Their number continues to grow every day. To help you quickly navigate this constantly expanding ocean of offers, here are 5 tips from the Pitch Avatar team:
Define your needs
Before you start searching for an AI tool, it’s crucial to understand what you need it for. What tasks do you want to solve with it? What is the complexity of these tasks? How often will you need the tool? Are you willing to pay for it, and if so, how much? By answering these questions, you’ll set parameters that will allow you to quickly narrow down the AI tools that are best suited to your needs.
Select and compare several analogues
Typically, within each category of AI tools, there are numerous products from various developers. Some will meet the parameters you’ve set. It’s essential to invest time in selecting and comparing several tools with similar purposes. This comparison will help you evaluate their features, capabilities, pricing, and user reviews to make an informed decision on which tool is the best fit for your needs.
Read reviews and feedback
Before purchasing an AI tool, it’s crucial to read reviews from users and industry professionals, such as bloggers or journalists. While reviews can be subjective and sometimes influenced by marketing tactics (positive reviews paid for or negative reviews written to harm competitors), they still provide valuable insights. You will get a general understanding of the product’s strengths and weaknesses, helping you gauge whether it aligns with your requirements and expectations.
Try free Versions and grace periods
Many AI tools offer free trials or grace periods, usually with limited functionality. These can give you a good sense of the tool’s usability and overall quality before committing to a paid version. If a developer does not offer a free trial or grace period, this could be a red flag. It might indicate the product is not as reliable or trustworthy as others in the market, so it’s best to avoid such tools.
Choose not only the main AI tool, but also backup ones
Like any software, AI products can crash and malfunction. Additionally, developers might change functionality or design, making a tool that once suited your needs no longer fit your requirements. It’s also possible that the project developing and maintaining the AI tool could be shut down. Therefore, it’s wise to have backup tools. Ideally, have several options and practice using them periodically, so you don’t waste time learning them when you need to rely on them.
