5 AI Tools That Save Me Hours Every Week (2026)

If you're creating videos, podcasts, or any type of social media content in 2026, I want to share with you five different AI tools that are going to completely change how you work. One of them can even replace you entirely by cloning you. And those are the ones I personally use to save me hours a week. And I think more importantly, they let me do things that just weren't possible before AI made it possible. First on my list is a tool called Dscript. I think I started using this app back in 2020, way before Chat GPT came out. And if you create videos, podcasts, this tool is going to completely change how you create, especially how you edit your videos. Now, when you open the app or the website here, you could upload any type of audio or video file and then ask Dcript to do things for you. This agent will do all kinds of different things. It could clean up your video recording. It could create social clips. It could translate your videos. It could dub your videos in different languages. Ton of different things. Let me create a new project to show you how I like to use it. Now, I uploaded a 7minute video here that I have to edit. The first thing Dcript does is it's going to transcribe this video automatically. Now, here's the seven minute transcription here that it created for us. So, a couple of things you could do. This allows you to edit this text right here. So, if I wanted to remove this sentence, for example, if I press delete, it will make that edit in the actual video. So, you no longer have to figure out how to do traditional editing, which before, if you were doing traditional editing, you will do it with what's called a split tool. So, you'll go to a portion of the video, you'll press split, it makes a cut, you go to another portion, you press split, and then you select the portion you want to delete. Well, now you don't have to do that. You just select the text you want to delete, press delete, it makes the edit for you automatically. So, that's how I edit my videos. That's one of the easiest ways I do it. But they have ton of different AI tools in their AI suite. If you click studio sound, it will literally create studio quality sound from any audio that you have. And it's extremely powerful this option. The other option I have is either removing filler words, which any words like um or like will get removed. In this video, I actually didn't have any. Or you could edit for clarity. And this is going to make suggestions in all the things you need to remove to make your videos sound more concise and more clear, which is obviously one of the best ways to get more views on your videos. Say the least amount of words, give the most amount of value. Denny has all kinds of different options for making your video look better. It could correct eye contact, for example, using AI. It could center the active speaker, especially if you have a twoperson podcast. And you could also repurpose your videos. So, if you press create clips here, it's going to create little clips for you to share in vertical format. And just like that, it's found the best five sections from this video that I could then repurpose and post on different social platforms. And they have ton of other option, but the last one I wanted to show you for this video is called translate. This one will take your video and transcribe it in any of these languages. But my favorite part is you could do multiple different languages at the same time. So for Skillip, our education platform, we transcribe and translate every single video in five different languages. So all I have to do is pick those languages here like this. And this will go through every language you selected here and it will translated near perfect translation here. And when you want to export that translation, well, you could export it as subtitles for example here with the language that you want selected and including the original language too. And you could also take the transcript, including the translation here, and export that if you need it for a website or any other purpose, too. So, when it comes to doing any type of video creation or any type of audio editing, this is the tool that has saved me the most time out of all the tools that I've used in the last few years. The next one on my list is called Hen. And this is going to completely change how you think about being on camera because you no longer have to be on camera. Pagen actually lets you create AI avatars and your own digital twin. It will let you clone yourself and use that to create videos. In this box right here, you could actually type in any idea you have. This will create, for example, a customer onboarding video. Now, if you look up here, well, it's pulled in my AI avatar. All you have to do is click right here. You could choose from any existing avatars that they have. So they have ton of different ones available or under my avatar. This is where I've cloned myself and you have different options for the length of the video. In this case, I'll make it one minute video. And you could decide if you want this to be landscape or portrait. Now this is what this video agent actually does. It takes your prompt and it takes your AI avatar and it creates an entire plan for itself to create the video for you. If I go to the assets tab, it has other media here. So, it's created different media with the top AI tools

like Veo, for example. It's also created different design elements like full-on animations here to go along with our video. And as soon as the video is done, I'll show you what it looks like. Welcome to our platform. Let me show you around so you can get the most out of your experience. Your dashboard is your command center. Here you'll find a clear overview of your projects and real-time updates. Our automation tools take care of the repetitive tasks so you can focus on the high impact work that matters. Collaboration is builtin. Share projects, leave comments, and work together with your team in real time. You could also dub videos into different languages with lips sync. Here's an example of me speaking Hindi. I don't speak Hindi, but my AI avatar does. I mean, how useful is that? Now, I could translate and dub all my videos on YouTube and in our courses into ton of different languages and make it globally accessible. Next on my list is Art List, which is my go-to platform for creating AI videos and AI images using the top models. And they're also the sponsor of today's video. Art List recently showed their ad in the Super Bowl. And instead of spending months and millions producing traditional big Super Bowl commercials, they created their entire spot inhouse in less than a week using Art List AI toolkit. — WA The biggest ads of the year are finally here. A huge celebration of creativity on the world's biggest stage. After months of hard work and millions of dollars, they really outdid themselves. But now, with Art List AI tools, you too can create high-end video production. All you need is a good idea. Heck, we bought this ad spot a week ago and made it in 5 days for just a few thousand. So, what's your idea? — And this is the commercial production world that I actually come from. That's my background. So, most brands in that world, ad agencies spend 6 months just on a 60-second or a 30-second commercial. Art list ran three different creative concepts in parallel using AI. One concept parody current 2026 big game ads. Another one paid homage to iconic ads from the past and a third one imagine what the next year advertisement could look like fully using AI generated visual. Now if you haven't used art list before they recently added this right here AI toolkit. So this lets you pick from the top image models down here and the top AI video models down here. So for image, you just type out your prompt over here and then you choose from this list of the top AI models. So right now for image generation, Nano Banana Pro is probably my favorite one and Flux is also one of my favorites with Flux 2. 0 Pro. Now if I go to the video tab, when it comes to video, they have the top AI models too. So the Google ones, Veo still one of my favorites here. Sora Cling 3 is just recently one of the newer option available. Now they're also adding Cance 2. 0. 0 very soon. So maybe by the time you're watching this video, that's going to be a model that is going completely viral right now. That should be available pretty soon. They have 1. 5 Pro right now available. And one of the reasons why I like this platform is they release the very best AI models pretty much around the time that they get released to the public in this platform. And you get access to all of them in one platform. My workflow is typically generate the image and turn it into the video. Well, this lets me do that, but I could choose and compare the different AI models and see how they compare side by side, too. I'll put a link in the description of this video so you could try Art List for yourself and access the top image and video models all in one place under the same workspace. Next on my list is 11 Labs. 11 Labs is the leading platform for creating AI generated voices. They sound almost perfectly human here and they have a massive library of voices to choose from and they actually license legendary voices from some of the most famous voiceover actors of all time too that you could use in your projects. I'm going to show you a couple of different use cases. One of them is brand new here and 11 Labs just like the platforms I've covered in this video has a lot to offer. So definitely worth exploring. But what I wanted to start with is inside of the studio tab, there's this option for creating podcasts. Now, this is very unique. There is a platform called Notebook LM that also generates podcast, but this lets you do it with voices that you choose. So, you could choose the host voice and guest upload a document as your source or you could import directly from a URL. In this case, I have a document. I'll just use one of our course transcripts here. Then you could choose the podcast format. So conversational is my favorite. And you could choose the duration here, short, default, or long.

I'll choose the default option here. And then you could choose between a host voice and a guest voice. And again, the entire library of all the voices here are available. You could listen to any of them. Pick your favorite. I'll just pick these two default options right now. And I'll go ahead and generate this one. — Building a website used to take months of coding and thousands of dollars. But artificial intelligence just flipped that reality on its head. The other day, my 15-year-old nephew showed me a professional business website he created in under two hours. — The accessibility factor is huge. These platforms like Hostinger and Lovable are essentially giving everyone the power of a professional web development team. — And this new option inside 11 Labs that I also found really interesting is called audiobooks where you could create entire audio books here. And they also have something called 11 reader which this becomes basically a platform. Upload your ebook to 11 reader with free dynamic narration. And here's what an AI generated audio book sounds like. — In the valley of Arendor, where the White River split around a crown of ancient oaks, a bell began to toll. Not the kind of bell that called farmers from fields or merchants from their stalls. This belt was older than the village clustered beneath it. 11 Labs also has ton of options like texttospech, voice changer, voice isolator, and it's really a platform worth exploring if you work with any kind of audio files. Next on my list is for generating music. So instead of searching for the perfect song for your video, well, you could just generate your own. My favorite platform for that is called Sunno. They recently released their V5 version, but the V4. 5 version is also great and it has free usage here. And all you have to do is type in a song description here. And if you want to include your own lyrics and your own style, you could also do that. And they have other options with paid option like Persona. But I'm going to use the simple option here. And I'm going to type in a song description. And you could choose if you want them to be instrumental or have lyrics along with it. I'm going to generate a couple different tracks. And then I'll go ahead and play a little bit for you so you could see how great the quality of this AI generated music is inside of Sunno. Blue light buzzing in my bones. Stone keeps flicking through the unknown. [singing] Room stands. — So, if you're looking to level up your content creation this year, I would recommend testing at least one of these tools out for yourself. See how it fits in your workflow. I covered pretty much anything from video editing to generating AI avatar, generating AI videos, and even generating music. So, one of these should be a good fit for your current workflow to really take it to the next level. And if you want to see deeper dive in any of these, let me know in the comment section below.
