What they are

Leonardo AI

Leonardo AI is a browser-based image generation platform that produces high-quality visuals using a range of fine-tuned models, including its own proprietary ones. It is used by game developers, illustrators, and content creators who need consistent characters, concept art, or marketing assets at scale. The platform offers more model control than most consumer tools, though the credit system can feel restrictive on the free tier.

Swell AI

Swell AI ingests podcast episodes, YouTube videos, or audio files and generates transcripts, show notes, blog posts, social clips, and newsletters from a single upload. It targets podcasters and video creators who want to repurpose content without hiring a writer. The output quality is solid for first drafts but typically needs editing before publishing. A free tier exists with limited monthly credits.
