What they are
Google Veo
Google Veo (now replaced by Google Omni) is a generative AI video model that creates short video clips from text or image prompts. It targets creators, marketers, and filmmakers who need quick video assets without a full production setup. The output quality is notably high for an AI tool, but access is currently limited and tied to Google's broader product ecosystem, which constrains flexibility.
Ko-fi
Ko-fi is a monetization platform where creators accept one-time donations, sell digital products, and offer paid memberships directly from their audience. It suits artists, writers, podcasters, and indie developers who want a lightweight income layer without surrendering a cut of every transaction. Free to use with no monthly fee. Ko-fi takes 0% on tips and donations, and 5% on shop sales, memberships, and commissions. Ko-fi Gold removes the 5% fee, although payment processors still take their standard slice. The trade-off is a thinner feature set compared to dedicated membership or course platforms.
