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.

Paraphrasing and grammar checks in one place
QuillBot started as a paraphraser and grew a grammar checker, a summariser, a citation generator and a plagiarism check around it. Students are the core audience and the pricing says so, but the rewriting modes are the fastest way to loosen a paragraph that came out stiff. The free tier caps how much text each tool will take at once rather than how often you use it.
Our note
Against Grammarly this is the cheaper option and the better rewriter; Grammarly is the better proofreader and has the wider integrations. If the problem is that a sentence reads badly rather than that it is wrong, this is the one to try.
