Hot & New: The Best AI Tools Launched in 2024
Published on August 8, 2024
The AI landscape is moving at lightning speed. It's hard to keep up with the constant stream of new product launches. To save you time, we've tested and picked the most promising AI tools for developers and creators that have launched or hit major milestones in 2024.
1. Llama 3 by Meta
While not a "tool" in the traditional sense, the release of the open-source Llama 3 model family has been a game-changer. It's incredibly capable and, for the first time, offers performance that is competitive with top-tier closed models like GPT-4. This has spurred a new wave of open-source innovation and allows startups to build powerful features without relying on a single provider.
2. CodeRabbit
CodeRabbit is an AI-powered code reviewer that integrates directly into GitHub. It provides line-by-line comments on pull requests, suggesting improvements, catching bugs, and ensuring consistency. It's like having a tireless senior developer reviewing every piece of code, freeing up the rest of the team to focus on higher-level logic.
3. Perplexity Pages
Perplexity AI, the "answer engine," has launched Pages. This feature allows you to curate a set of sources (articles, research papers, etc.) and then generate a comprehensive article based on that information, complete with citations. It's an incredibly powerful tool for researchers, writers, and anyone who needs to synthesize information from multiple sources.
4. Suno V3
Suno is a music generation model that has taken the world by storm. With just a text prompt, you can create a full-length, radio-quality song in any genre, complete with vocals and instrumentation. It's a mind-blowing demonstration of how AI is transforming creative fields.
5. Toolixa's New Utilities
We've been busy too! This year, we launched several new tools requested by our community, including the HTML to Image Generator for quickly creating shareable code snippets, and an enhanced Contrast Checker to help you build more accessible websites. As always, they are fast, free, and run in your browser.
The pace of change is accelerating. The tools on this list didn't exist or were in their infancy just a year ago. It's an exciting time to be a builder!
