AI Story Generator (Free, No Signup & Unlimited)
AI Story Generator (Free, No Signup & Unlimited)
This seems like something that could be done with a combination of other tools (an LLM plus an image generator), but this is a tool that creates stories plus images to accompany them. It would be interesting to experiment with as inspiration for training scenarios. However, note that the site claims copyright of all stories created, so don't plan to use this for commercial purposes. Use it for inspiration rather than as the actual content of a story.

Mighty is a paid Chrome extension for adding additional functionality when building Rise courses. This includes visual customization like fonts, lists, button styles as well as some new blocks like an open reflection block. This is currently in beta, and the price is high enough that I think it only makes sense for people who do a significant amount of work in Rise. Still, it's an interesting possibility if you need those specific functions. h/t Karin Rex

Vidnoz AI Tools: Create FREE Engaging AI Videos 10X Faster
Vidnoz AI Tools: Create FREE Engaging AI Videos 10X Faster
Vidnoz AI has several tools. Their AI video generator is similar to Synthesia, although the voices and avatars seem to be not quite as good. if you want to try out AI video generation, this looks like a great option for experimenting and exploring because you can generate 3 minutes of video for free. This site also has other tools, some with a freemium model, such as face swapping and background removal.

What AI Tools are Instructional Designers Using?
Connie Malamed asked IDs what AI tools they're using. While the expected answers of ChatGPT, ElevenLabs, and Synthesia were mentioned, there are a bunch of other AI tools on the list as well. Meeting and productivity tools were popular.

Consensus: AI Search Engine for Research
Consensus: AI Search Engine for Research
Curious about the research on a particular topic? Consensus searches research and provides summaries. If you ask a yes/no question on a well-researched topic, it will provide you with a color-coded yes/no/maybe summary. This doesn't work as well if there isn't much research on a particular topic (as is the case for a lot of L&D questions), but it's a good way to both get a quick glance at the research and to find sources so you can dig deeper on your own.

Visla: All-in-one Video Storytelling.
Visla: All-in-one Video Storytelling.
AI video tool for video editing and generation. Specifically, one of the features lets you edit videos by editing the transcript. This tool has a free plan with some limitations which look like plenty to at least test it out and potentially use if you need something quick.

Banner GPT
Banner GPT
Paste the text of a blog post into this tool, and it generates banner images for you based on the title and content. Since I've been experimenting with AI for images for my blog already, this looks like a tool worth testing out. If you're not a blogger, perhaps this could help you create header images for Rise courses or similar content?

Text to video tool. This works like Midjourney where you add text prompts in a Discord channel on the Pika Labs server. You can use either a text prompt by itself or provide a starting image to animate. This still feels like a tool in beta to me, and the results often have noticeable AI weirdness in them. But, maybe you could use this for a snippet of B roll or to add slight animation to an existing image.

guidde・Magically create video documentation with AI
guidde・Magically create video documentation with AI
This might not be as exciting of an AI tool as all the fun image generators, but it looks very practical. Create a screen capture video, then use the AI tools to generate the text explaining each step and add voice over. The tool also creates documentation at the same time. The text looks more accurate than some other tools I have tried, at least in the demo, but I assume in practice it would still require editing. For quick software training and performance support, this looks useful.

DiBL - Dilemma Based Learning
DiBL - Dilemma Based Learning
An interesting tool designed for interactive questions and scenarios in live training or vILT environments, where learners respond via their devices. The founder says, "You can think of it as a collaborative choose your own adventure - or Twine meets Kahoot :-)." This would be worth reviewing if you had a specific use case in an organization, but the tool is too expensive for freelancers and consultants.

Respeecher Voice Marketplace
Respeecher Voice Marketplace
AI voice generation is an area where new tools keep being released. This is a voice cloning tool where you can copy an existing voice. This would be useful for making revisions if the original voice isn't available (or just to make changes quickly). You can also change the accent or pitch. Their stated use cases are around prototyping and revisions, not full narration for finished products.

Playground AI
Edit and combine images using AI. Rather than starting from scratch like other AI image tools, with this tool you start with one or more existing images and enhance them with AI. There's a free account with a large daily image limit, but it says the quality will be limited after the first 50 images. Still, that's enough to try how it works.

Recraft
Recraft
An AI image generating tool for vector art and illustrations. This looks like it would be useful for creating icon or illustration variations on a theme while keeping a consistent color scheme. I also wonder if you could use it to create variations on vector character images for scenarios.

I haven't taken time to play with this yet, but AI chatbots like this feel like a very promising avenue for personalized learning. Many of the simulated conversations that we currently build as branching scenarios could be practiced with chatbots like this. Language learning is another relevant area. This is currently in beta, but looks worth exploring.

ThingLink: Create unique experiences with interactive images, videos & 360° media
ThingLink: Create unique experiences with interactive images, videos & 360° media

Branching scenario tool for simulations, interactive videos, and more. This has a clear emphasis on both including a range of multimedia plus tracking interaction data.

However, the way they track data is by hosting it themselves, which affects the pricing model. The pricing is $4/user/month–which seems really high to me, considering that’s more than some full-blown LMSs that can host hundreds of courses. They have a minimum of 50 users, which means the minimum cost is $200/month. Even if the tool is great, I think that’s would be a hard sell for most organizations.
