What they are

Pika

Pika is a web-based AI video generator that converts text prompts, images, and video clips into short animated or cinematic scenes. It targets content creators, social media marketers, and designers who need quick video assets without traditional editing software. The output quality has improved significantly since launch, though clip length stays short and consistency across multiple generations can vary.

Sonix

Sonix is an automated transcription service that converts audio and video files into text using AI, then lets you search, edit, and export transcripts in multiple formats. Journalists, podcasters, researchers, and video producers use it to speed up post-production workflows. Transcription accuracy is solid for clear audio but drops noticeably with heavy accents or poor recording conditions. There is no free tier, so you pay from the first minute.
