What they are

Grok

Grok is a large language model chatbot built by xAI that answers questions, drafts content, analyzes data, and generates images. It pulls live information from X (formerly Twitter) and the broader web, making it more current than many competitors. Creators use it for research, writing assistance, and brainstorming. The free tier is limited in usage, and the personality-forward tone can occasionally prioritize wit over precision.

Photopea

Photopea is a free, browser-based image editor that opens and saves PSD, XD, Sketch, PDF, and standard raster formats without any installation. Designers, content creators, and hobbyists use it to retouch photos, build thumbnails, and work with layered files on any device. It mirrors Photoshop's interface closely enough that existing PSD workflows transfer without friction, though ads on the free tier can interrupt focus.
