What they are

Recraft

Recraft is an AI image generation tool built specifically for designers and brand teams who need consistent visual output at scale. It generates vector illustrations, icons, and raster images from text prompts, and supports custom brand style training so outputs stay on-model. The free tier is genuinely usable, though the credit system can feel restrictive once you start iterating quickly.

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.
