What they are

Claude

Claude is an AI assistant from Anthropic that handles writing, research, analysis, coding, and brainstorming through a chat interface. Creators use it to draft scripts, repurpose content, summarize research, and work through ideas. It stands out for following complex instructions and maintaining context across long documents, though it has no live internet access by default and cannot publish or post content directly.

Speechify

Speechify converts text from PDFs, articles, emails, Google Docs, and ebooks into spoken audio using AI-generated voices. It is used by students, professionals, and people with dyslexia or reading difficulties who want to consume written content faster or more comfortably. The voice quality is genuinely good at normal speeds, but at very high playback rates naturalness degrades noticeably. The free tier is limited to one standard voice and a capped speed.
