What they are

Captions

Captions is a mobile-first AI video editor aimed at creators who produce talking-head content for social media. It auto-generates captions, removes filler words, corrects eye contact, and can clone your voice for overdubs. The app targets solo creators who want a post-production shortcut, though its desktop feature set is still catching up to its mobile counterpart.

Stable Diffusion

Stable Diffusion is Stability AI's family of open-weight text-to-image models, covering everything from the widely adopted SD 1.5 and SDXL to the current SD 3.5 series. Developers access it via a credit-based API, while creators with capable hardware can run it locally for free under the Community License. It spans image generation, editing, upscaling, style transfer, 3D asset creation, and audio generation. The ecosystem of community fine-tunes, LoRAs, and third-party UIs is unmatched, but that depth comes with a real learning curve.
