I keep running into the same problem: an eight-second clip looks great except for one brief moment.
Maybe an object changes shape, a wing bends incorrectly, or something in the background suddenly disappears. The rest of the clip is usable, but the only option is usually to generate everything again.
The new version might fix the original mistake, but then the camera movement, lighting, expression, or timing changes too. It feels like throwing away seven good seconds to repair one bad second.
Would you rather have longer generations, or the ability to lock the good parts and regenerate only a selected moment?
I’ve been testing shorter effect-based clips in LazyKiwi, which reduces how much footage is lost when something breaks. It helps, but it still feels like a workaround.
Being able to select one short section, preserve everything around it, and regenerate only nthat moment would be much more useful to me than simply increasing the maximum video length.

Has anybody here using Luma AI app on the iPhone come across anything which is better than that or the same quality I have used some other apps also, but none comes close to the kind of quality that Luma AI offers? But still it could get better, there is a room for improvement. Anybody has found anything better than Luma AI ?

Tuesday head to head. One category, two tools, and I want the one line answer rather than a writeup.

The category is looking something up: a fact you need to be right about, a product you are comparing, a question where you want sources you can click.

Some people never really opened Perplexity because ChatGPT's search got good enough. Some people keep it around specifically because it puts the sources in front of you and makes it obvious when the answer is thin. Both of those are reasonable and I don't think there's one right answer here.

So: which one do you actually open, and what made you land there?

If you dropped one of them, say what the last straw was. That's usually the more useful half.

And if you use neither and something else won, say that too.

I’ve been looking at AI tools for cross platform ecomerce reporting, and most speed claims seem to begin after the files are ready. That leaves out a fairly important part of the job.

A seller might notice a problem in the morning, but the relevant information is sitting in separate Amazon and Shopify reports. Someone still has to download those files before the AI can examine them. If the question is urgent, that delay matters.

I’m looking atAccio Work for a client content project, so I want to be upfront about that. It can read multiple uploaded reports in one task, which seems useful for an occasional comparison. It doesn’t automatically retrieve the Amazon or Shopify data. The user still has to bring the files.

For a monthly review, this may be completely fine. Inventory decisions are less forgiving. A report based on yesterday’s exports may explain what happened without helping much with what is happening now.

I personally use AI chatbots for brainstorming, script writing and storytelling for game development

Currently I am using chatgpt and Ollama combined

But can someone tell me any model which is best for brainstorming, has long context window and uses real world data to guide?

Bonjour,

Je vais bientôt rentrer en Prépa ECG et j'envisage de prendre un seul abonnement IA payant pour m'accompagner pendant l'année.

Mon objectif serait d'avoir une IA que je puisse utiliser un peu comme un professeur particulier, dans l'ensemble des matières de la prépa : m'expliquer un cours que je ne comprends pas, m'aider à travailler sur des exercices, me faire réviser, analyser/corriger mon travail, etc.
Mais j'aimerais également pouvoir l'utiliser pour de la recherche et de l'analyse financière, notamment sur des actions et des entreprises.
Mes principaux besoins seraient donc :

Études : pouvoir lui donner mes cours et de gros polycopiés PDF, parfois assez longs, et lui poser des questions dessus comme avec un professeur particulier.
Analyse de documents : pouvoir analyser des PDF de plusieurs dizaines voire centaines de pages.

Finance : analyser des rapports financiers, résultats d'entreprises, présentations investisseurs, etc., et éventuellement m'aider à analyser une entreprise ou une action.

Recherche web : pouvoir rechercher des informations récentes par elle-même et, idéalement, fournir des sources fiables.

Données : pouvoir lui fournir des données/fichiers et lui demander de les analyser, plutôt que de simplement répondre à des questions générales.

Je voudrais idéalement que l'IA puisse à la fois travailler sur les documents que je lui fournis et rechercher elle-même des informations sur Internet.
Je précise que je souhaite prendre un seul abonnement, pas combiner plusieurs services.
Mon budget est de 25 € par mois grand maximum.
Je regarde notamment du côté de ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, Gemini et Perplexity, mais j'ai du mal à savoir lequel serait réellement le plus adapté à mon utilisation.
Pour quelqu'un avec mon profil, lequel choisiriez-vous et pourquoi ?

Et surtout, si vous avez utilisé plusieurs de ces abonnements, je serais intéressé par vos retours sur :
la qualité pédagogique pour les études ;
la capacité à analyser de gros PDF ;
la qualité du raisonnement ;
l'analyse de données financières ;
la recherche web et la fiabilité des sources ;
les limites d'utilisation que l'on rencontre réellement au quotidien.

Merci d'avance pour vos retours !

Hey, I’m trying to find the best AI setup possible for €20/month max.

I use AI a lot for coding, research, learning, brainstorming and building stuff.

Could be one subscription or a combination of different tools.

If you had €20 to spend, what would you get? And how much do you actually use it / do you hit limits?

(could also be a 1 time offer or cheaper with VPN or so)

One line is fine. Tool, what you're using it for, and whether it's earning its keep so far.

It doesn't need to be new or impressive. If you're just working out whether something you already pay for is still worth the money, that counts.

Mine: running a cheaper model against my default on long document summarising, to find out whether the gap is actually big enough to justify what I'm paying.

Also, if you asked something here in the last week or two and nobody answered, put the link in a reply. Easier to get eyes on it here than to bump a dead thread.

Which AI assistant would you choose + which plan would you get + why?

Hey everyone,

I am sorry for taking your time, but really need some guidance here. So I am in Equity Research, aiming to start my own fund in a 5 year time. I am at that stage of life wherein I really need to use AI because I see a lot of juniors becoming really good, as in self generating reports, valuations, websites, automating tracking sectors, etc. I do know what I want from AI, and for now it looks like I expect a lot of it, but just where do I start from ? I have been using it for 6 months now as a Pro subscriber but looks like claude code is the only good thing. I can barely understand the difference between cowork, chat and code, except that code gets a lot of stuff done faster through coding. Now I do not have a coding background, may be I should learn Python first, but I don't know.

I want to make an auto tracker wherein say I am tracking the Indian listed space, I want it to track on a daily basis what's happening across the value chain the company is present in. For that, I need it to first dissect the value chain and actually do that properly (because it has failed numerous times and limits get exhausted). I cannot upgrade my plan. Rn Pro is the only thing in my budget.

Is another AI like Chatgpt codex or other names you all are aware of better ??

Asking in reddit because trust this is a place where people actually help others elevate and improve.

Thank you for reading this.

I have a competetion to build a poster using ai
which ai do i use? how to prompt it properly and get a really good result

Types of audio:

I often audio-record on my iphone:

• - Important conversations
• - Medical appointments (in-person and online)
• - Dungeons and Dragons and other in-person TTRPG games

I also transcribe a bunch of audio messages/voice notes.

(All recorded ethically and legally)

Workflow:

• I've been using TurboScribe to transcribe everything → I export a PDF that I can search and/or upload to ChatGPT for analysis.
• Probably transcribe like 15-25 hours a month.

Ideally, I'm looking for something that's quick/easy to use and lets me easily download/export transcripts.

I'm interested in a software with similar or better price, especially if it was more accurate with terms (medical, gaming etc.) and recognized multiple speakers better?

Is there anything you'd recommend over TurboScribe for this use case?

I'd appreciate hearing how it compares - what it does better/worse.

Edit: For D&D/TTRPGs, I don't need character/place names or terminology to be perfectly transcribed. I mainly want it to capture the gist of what happened and differentiate speakers reasonably well, so I can give the transcript to ChatGPT/another AI for session recaps and analysis of the players/DM and table dynamics.

I just bought a new Microsoft laptop and I was wondering wether I should use the built in copilot or use chatgbt instead (I've used it for the last 3 years) for my daily life questions and school related questions as I am a business major

Me gustaría que asistiera en reuniones escuchando y respondiendo en reuniones presenciales, conocen alguna herramienta?

So as much as some of us want to avoid AI, it’s everywhere. I’ve only tried ChatGPT and CoPilot because it’s integrated with my computer. I know there’s Gemini, Claude, and Grok to name a few but what’s the “best” one? Or do they all operate the same way. How did you settle on which one you use for those that use AI?
