What they are

Midjourney

Midjourney is a text-to-image AI that produces high-quality, stylistically distinct images from written prompts, accessed entirely through Discord or a web interface. It is used by illustrators, graphic designers, content creators, and marketers who need original visuals without a camera or traditional software. Image quality and artistic range are among the highest available from any AI image tool, though the learning curve for prompt crafting is real and outputs are not always predictable.

Riverside

Riverside records audio and video locally on each participant's device, then uploads lossless files to the cloud, so a shaky internet connection never ruins a take. It's used by podcasters, journalists, and video creators who need broadcast-quality recordings from remote guests. The built-in AI tools handle transcription, clip creation, and basic editing. One honest note: the interface has a learning curve for guests who aren't tech-savvy.
