What they are

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.

Google Gemini

Google Gemini is a conversational AI built on Google's large language models, capable of text generation, summarization, coding help, and image understanding. Creators use it for drafting scripts, brainstorming ideas, and researching topics without leaving a chat interface. The free tier is genuinely useful, and the Advanced plan unlocks Google's most capable model. Deep integration with Google Workspace is a real advantage for creators already in that ecosystem.
