Here are all of the tags that you can delve into here on PolyTools. The collections of tools in many of these categories are deep, and can help you find the right one. I encourage you to delve into the "Unique-other" tag as there may be a hidden treasure tool for you there.
The newsletter that started this all! Originally "OmniContent" series, which was an omnichannel strategy I came up with to repurpose all of my content. Creating a blog/video/podcast every episode, and then chopping them up from there. That later became "PolyInContent", as in poly meaning "much or many" ways of creating. PolyTools came out of that like a phoenix, and is the leader in teaching you how to be a MODERN Content Creator, and sharing the best Creator Economy Tools.

These tools are one of the reasons why I made this site in the first place. After ChatGPT exploded in popularity, a wave of new tools came out onto the market. One of the first and best ones is OpusClip for example, and a ton of tools modeled themselves after it. So many tools came out, and no one was talking about them, let alone comparing or reviewing. So I created PolyTools to do just that!

While a large amount of tools on this website may be AI based in their functioning. This category is meant for the more AI focused tools. I.e. ChatGPT itself, not tools built on top of it. While there may be some overlap with other Tags. I'm going to try and keep this one specifically for AI related things. If something is AI based, but is Clipping focused for example. It will be in the Clips tools specifically.

These are tools like InVideo AI that allow you to generate the content from just an AI prompt. This includes text/audio/video/voice, etc. While technically the auto-generated articles count in this tag.

Various audio making/enhancement/managing tools. While some tools you can use for podcasting, those would probably be in that tag (or both). More than likely you'll find enhancement tools here or music production.

Tools to literally have the editing done for you. While we are still in the early stages of some of these. Many of them are insane on how much they do for you. Now these generally do a lot, and there is a lot of overlap with the tools on the market currently. Note: Most of them tend to use Premiere as the export. Some support all three main tools: Adobe, Davinci, Logic.

Recording your videos or podcasts isn't always just as simple as "hit record" or "action". As there are often software you need in order to fully maximize your equipment. You don't want to buy a 60fps 4k camera, only to have your recording tool record at 1080p 30fps. Make sure you are using the right tool! Tip: OBS is honestly the most versatile out there, it takes a bit to setup, but you can watch videos on that easily. That's usually where I tell people to start.

I believe in sharing the love. These are other tool sites like this one, that I found to be quite helpful. Shout out to Tool Finder.

While not tools per se. I figured that not everyone will know every platform that they could be on.

So that when you multi-stream, then you know where to go!

Every quarter I share with you what tools am I using now. I figured that many people were curious, and as it turned out I was switching tools more often than I realized. Let alone told people. I tend to be a power user, meaning I often break tools when using them. If they can't keep up, or the support is lackluster. Then I move on, and then you don't have to waste your time either.
