Quick note… This video started as a normal Underground AI video but as I was recording, I was finding ways to do the same things for free. Anyone commenting "why talk about the tools if there are others to do it free?" – The main reason is so that YOU, the viewer, doesn't pay for tools that you don't need to pay for. If MKBHD makes a video about the Humane Pin to tell you it's not a good product, people don't ask him "if it's a bad product, why make a video about it?" I thought people would find this helpful, especially since I gave a tutorial on how to do each for free so you can follow along. I also put timestamps so you can easily jump around.
BLOGFOX is cool
YES GO AHEAD. BRO YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB
16:55 sounds like Matt Wolfe is low key bragging about all the fun trips and traveling he's been on.
Excelente
As always – you have the best videos, very high quality and you are s fun to watch – it really shows how much you love it. Thank you!
Why would you even mention a tool that you've never used and is glitchy, poorly explained, with documentation that's poorly written? Locus is a joke and a carbon copy of the other 1000 extensions that do literally the exact same thing, down to the UI.
Hey Matt, can you please only share really good stuff? I appreciate reviews but when the first item after the intro and the other first item my attention was grabbed which was Brainy tools both have things that seem non ideal it gives me a feeling that you're just grabbing whatever you can find for content rather than actually taking time to share something significantly valuable and good. It makes me want to search for and prioritize other channels that only share the best of the best. Thanks
I have seen sevral Youtube channels about AI but the ones I have seen have not shown or reviewed ai tools that are here and better altermatives and free that do a better job so a more reason to subscribe to your channel
Great review of novel AI tools!
More underground exclude the shady pricy ones.
@mreflow i got a great idea for an app we can build with A.I. might be a good idea for a video if you could help me out with it that would be awesome. either way love all the content. you are the reason i know anything about AI at all lol
I mean, don’t get me wrong. I think and I’m sure you know you are not charismatic. You are a real boring. Your content is not that bad what can I tell you there are not any alternatives so please make a better anything work for your subscribers? Change your studio take your hat off or someone else might see you are not doing very well and you’ll be replaced.
All the tools you’re always talking about and Peter videos are always describe the same bee AI news this week crazy week crazy news I mean, man you should try a little bit harder and if you cannot do it by yourself, I’m sure you’ve got lots of tools that can help you outI mean, put a better effort because we’re honest you are the only one or perhaps not the only one, but you are the few channels people can find perhaps not a real good content regarding AI and so on but you are one of the few so make a better effort
mate, I love all your vidoes but this really completely misses the mark – esp given how the majority of the tools here were completely useless. many people use your videos to actually discover, as in hear about (incredibly powerful) AI tools – and NOT get reviews of random AI apps they may have seen somewhere. This was s complete waste of viewing time.
Love the concept please keep this format
I've gotten so much value from your videos, Matt. That said, GeoSpy was kind of a dud for me. I uploaded a photo taken in West Palm Beach, FL and GeoSpy told me the pic was taken in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. Then I uploaded a photo taken in New Orleans, and GeoSpy told me it was taken in Houston, TX. On the plus side, a FINAL uploaded photo was accurately identified as having been taken at Nationals Park, "home to the Washington Nationals baseball team" in Washington, DC. But then GeoSpy seemed to get cocky, reporting that "the photo was taken during a game between the Nationals and the Philadelphia Phillies." I went to that game, and we played the Mets, not the Phillies. LOL My conclusion? GeoSpy is iffy at best. But definitely fun. Thanks again, and keep 'em coming!
Matt, thanks for the detailed review of these AI tools! I just wanted to point out something important for anyone considering using Recraft. If you're using the free version, be aware that you don't actually own any of the assets you create. You only have the (revocable) right to use the assets. Recraft retains the rights to these unless you pay for a subscription to their service. This is especially important for anyone considering making a logo or similar asset with this product. Thanks again!
how can i message you about sponsoring and advertising?
Meh, GeoSpy is not as good as GeoWizard. It fails on his very first picture he did for the GeoDetective series. I think it just picks the biggest cities if it only has the country. Apparently, it doesn't do reverse image search, because that one gets it right away.
This is a popular format Matt. Comments suggest every one loves the highly compressed intros into those AI tools, resources amd platforms worth pursuing. If you did 7 a day, after 30 days we'd have over 200 Ai tools introduced to us. In a year that's 2,400. More than enough from which to pare down into a short list of hopefully no more than a dozen or so which might take a life time to master. Less is more. The question always is. What to leave OUT, so what you have left in your toolbox is relatively manageable for the average human with a limited band width. Thanks
You're always making great videos on ai. Thanks for letting us know what's new in Ai. Is there any all in one ai's that can make business cards? Thanks
Is the location metadata removed from the photo?
Q: with brainy steps couldn't pull out the audio, convert to text then use the text to create a much better audio? Lay the new audio over the vid?
Purpose: the ability to create good explainers from academic research papers opens the idea of a channel that specializes in a very niche topic that will appeal to a specific audience. Assuming monetized should have a hi $$ payout. Also easier to do multiple channels.
This is also hint to Dev team to justify $$.
Thoughts anyone?
PS: Don't forget Google Scholar.
dude that neal fun game is not new and also i dont think it is made with AI or something cause i have layed this game back in me keypad android phone
I usually like your videos, but showing us the malfunctioning janky 'Locus'?! … total waste of our time … and yours. It seems you must be getting desperate for new content, digging down to the bottom of the barrel …
You labeled Recraft as a free tool but i just went to Recraft site and it says "try for free" implying it's not free. I don't know if it's a recent thing since this video was posted or if this was always the case.
Anyways, i appreciate these videos and want to thank you for your hard work on these videos.
Locus looks shady :/
WRITING CPM ASSEMBLY LANG FIND FUNCTION WAS A PROGRAMMERS TEST … THOSE PROGS WERE BETTER THAN RECENTSCAMS
HOW TO AVOID INDIAN AND SINGAPORE SCAMMERS !!!
Thanks. No, do not tell us only about tools that are helpful. Show us the stinkers as well! It's beneficial for us users to know what to steer clear of.
“Should this be a standalone app” – a question I ask myself on a daily basis 😅

Matt I like seeing the different tools and hearing your ‘take’ on them. Many thanks
Great video, always finding some useful bits for myself. Recraft looks great
Love the concept behind this video, Matt. "Should this be a standalone app?" I am a proponent of the Lean Startup approach – fall in love the problem and then relentlessly iterate from user feedback. While most of these ideas seem very basic now, I'm sure once the founders add a few more bells and whistles their tools will be worth paying to not need to repeat all the steps manually yourself.
The operational cost of running AI apps however is tough. I'm sure that's why many of them have seemingly ridiculous pricing schemes. They're probably burning sooo many tokens on the backend to produce these results. And once they prove product-market-fit they can invest in fine tuning smaller models or architecting other means of achieving the same (or higher) quality output for much lower op ex, and hopefully reduce the price they charge end users.
As a side note, I've seen many (funded) startups simply take a hit on op ex costs for AI API usage and charge users a reasonable rate even though it's not scalable. A good to consider, but not every startup can afford to do that.
Thanks again for this video, Matt. I'd love to see more in this format. If any of the founders of the apps in this video are reading, our team at Fractal Labs would love to gift you a free product discovery workshop to help find that secret sauce that will make your app worthy of being a standalone app that people want to pay for!
These are all useless. Thanks anyway but I wont be using any of them.
If you have to tell an ai bot to remind what to do that day you got problems.
Wonderful video, plz keep this up 👍
Really great show today!
Just want to let you know that Geospy was NOT precise with photos of Mexico. It's mistaken the cityscape of Monterrey for the one in Mexico City, completely different cities. Because "the Spanish language signage and the tall buildings" So it thinks Mexico City is the only city in Mexico where Spanish is spoken and has tall buildings?????? Really offensive! This is 2024, NOT 1824. MOST mid to large cities in Mexico have "TALL BUILDINGS" and well, Spanish is spoken in most cities in Mexico. I should get paid to train these models. Ha! A little scan of pages like Skyscraper City or Skyscraper Page would not hurt!
I enjoyed your honest review which has helped me a lot and ensures that I spend my money wisely.
Please, pretty please, can you get rid of the distracting box by your left shoulder, Matt – the thing sitting on your sideboard showing random flickery images? They transitions are especially jarring at each edit point.
Matt, dedicated follower here. Feedback: I've only😮 watched the first 7 minutes so far. You showed us a tool that was a waste of our time to see. You said yourself Claude already does this so why did you waste your time and ours going over it??? All our time is limited. Also in no way did the first tool coincide with the video title so it felt like click bait. Gonna watch the rest now and hope it's not like the first 7 minutes. Thanks for all you do.
Love it .. keep doing this stuff. A good way to discover some gems over time.
👍👍👍 Good video and I love the transparency – it wins my trust in you!
