Voice generation and dubbing you can publish
ElevenLabs clones a voice from a short sample and dubs video into other languages while keeping the delivery. Creators use it for narration, corrections and reaching audiences in other languages. Disclose it, and get permission before cloning anyone else.
Our note
The commercial licence sitting on the paid tier rather than the free one is the thing people miss. If a generated voice is going anywhere public, be on Starter at least, and disclose it.

Short AI video clips from text or an image
Pika generates short video from a text prompt or a still image, with a set of effects that inflate, crush or otherwise deform whatever you feed it. Output is measured in seconds, so the honest use is a social post or a title card rather than a scene. A free tier exists and credits are what runs out.
Our note
Pika is the one to reach for when you want something to happen to an object, and the effects library is genuinely better than prompting for the same result elsewhere. For a coherent shot lasting more than a few seconds, Runway or Luma will disappoint you less.
