From accessibility and visual aids to writing and sports, AI is transforming the way we interact with technology. Tools like Felo, Minduck, and Skriptify are revolutionizing search engines, visual interfaces, and content creation, while AI-powered real-time translation enhances the experience for sports fans. The futuristic Movr robot concept exemplifies the intersection of AI and mobility, pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve.


AI Trends

AI in Accessibility: Felo is a multilingual search engine designed to provide authoritative answers in any language. Unlike traditional search platforms, Felo enables users to ask questions in their native language while delivering accurate and relevant results from global sources.


AI in Visual Aid: Minduck is an innovative tool that reimagines the way users interact with AI by shifting from traditional chat interfaces to structured, visual mind-mapping tools. Instead of requiring specific commands or technical expertise, users simply input their thoughts.


AI in Writing: Skriptify is an AI-powered tool designed to help users generate viral TikTok scripts in seconds. This tool focuses on TikTok Shop content, allowing creators, influencers, and businesses to quickly produce engaging scripts that resonate with audiences.


AI in Sports: Tennis commentators for the Australian Open will now include an AI-powered Spanish-language stream, providing real-time translation of the English broadcast.


AI in Mobility: Creators Jungmin Park and Chaewon Lee are the creative minds behind the Movr, which is a futuristic robot concept which fuse technologies with mobility. The Movr is a student project that forms the idea of an AI assistant that handles various tasks and can also be ridden.
