Dupe

👀 Sponsor this spot to share your product or resource with our community.

The problem with most royalty-free images available for creators is that overly processed and staged photography doesn’t exactly do numbers on social anymore.

Dupe is a bank of royalty-free images, organized by aesthetic, that appeal to the current digital aesthetic: authentic, improvised, not-too-serious. It’s like having your trendy intern on-call.

PngMaker.io

Aha! This browser tool uses AI to convert your text prompt into a PNG with a transparent background. It’s pretty quick, free to use, and good enough to get you by if you don’t have a designer on hand.

Retable

👀 Sponsor this spot to share your product or resource with our community.

Retable is an online spreadsheet tool that helps you build smart business apps with your data—without code.

Customize online spreadsheets, centralize and automate your tasks and workflows, and manage team collaboration. Start from scratch or try one of the marketing management templates.

AI Summer

When you install AI Summer to your blog (no code required), your readers get a one-click summary of the content on your page along with a relevant product suggestion and a CTA to subscribe to weekly summaries from you.

Turn buttons on and off across your pages, set guidelines, get detailed stats on reader impressions and clicks, and boost growth with 85% quicker reading times.

Turnip

Turnip is a time-tracking tool developed for freelancers and SMBs, especially those who are already using FreeAgent or FreshBooks for admin work.

The timer lives in your menu bar and provides handy little charts and a clean UX, all for a pretty fair price ($3/month unlocks everything).

SmarterQueue

SmarterQueue is social media scheduling tool with an AI caption writer, an automated queue for each of your content categories, built-in content curation, and comprehensive analytics. And it works with TikTok!

But the real jewel here is the Evergreen Post Recycling feature, which lets you designate a really good post to be automatically repurposed with different variations, and then republished, as many times as you want. We love that for you.

MyLens.ai

MyLens is a generative AI tool, and its whole thing is visuals. Generate complex timelines, use quadrants to compare information, create connections in a mind map, and organize information in a table.

This one is particularly useful for content calendars, analytics and performance dashboards, SWOTs and positioning exercises, campaign timelines, and audience segment quadrants.

review.legal

Hey, you, with all the hats on—

Stop poring over legal contracts you don’t fully understand. If you don’t have a legal team to send stuff to, just upload any contract to review.legal and let AI shorten and summarize each clause, decode the jargon, and answer your questions, so you know what’s up.

Word Clouds!

Need to crack open your writing and see things with fresh eyes?

We recommend generating a word cloud from your copy—the whitepaper you’re working on, a series of recent blogs, a selection of your latest email campaigns, your social captions, you name it.

Visualizing the breadth and frequency of your vocabulary helps gauge your tone, reveals some of your writing tics, and illuminates interest areas.

What’s not to love about the marriage of data and words? That’s like our whole thing.
