What they are

ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a large language model chatbot from OpenAI that generates text, answers questions, drafts content, and reasons through complex problems in a back-and-forth conversation. Online creators use it for scripting videos, writing captions, brainstorming ideas, and repurposing content across formats. The free tier runs GPT-5.5 instant and is genuinely useful for most writing tasks, while the Plus plan unlocks GPT-4o with faster responses and image understanding. Output quality varies by prompt skill, so results often need editing before publishing.

Sonix

Sonix is an automated transcription service that converts audio and video files into text using AI, then lets you search, edit, and export transcripts in multiple formats. Journalists, podcasters, researchers, and video producers use it to speed up post-production workflows. Transcription accuracy is solid for clear audio but drops noticeably with heavy accents or poor recording conditions. There is no free tier, so you pay from the first minute.
