While many people are trying or at least have heard of Chat GPT, the range of AI tools is vast, bewildering and ever-changing. Chamber Member Epoch, have shared their (current ) list of favourites for key business tasks below:
- Vercel – An AI-powered website builder that’s great for startups and small businesses. It produces high-quality marketing sites, although you need some technical confidence to publish on your own domain. (www.vercel.com)
- Cursor – A developer environment with an AI co-pilot that speeds up coding and problem-solving. We’re also beginning to test Google’s Antigravity as an alternative. (www.cursor.com)
- ChatGPT – Still one of the most popular AI assistants, though we’re now using Gemini 3 for some tasks as well. (www.chatgpt.com)
- Weavy – A powerful image and video generation tool that gives access to a wide range of leading models. (www.weavy.ai)
