🚀 NeontoolsPro is coming

These limitations will come into effect on April 3rd, 2023, so you still have some time to prepare and organize yourselves accordingly 👇

keeping up with AI

👨‍💻 AI Content Creators you should follow

If you want to dig deeper into creative AI and the different workflows, check out Olivio Sarikas on Youtube. We never miss any of his videos - they are truly a must-watch. The same could be said about Mreflow aka Matt Wolfe, who offers easy-to-understand insights and tutorials👩‍🏫

Also, make sure to follow our Lead Designer, Julie, on Twitter to learn how you can creatively use these AIs to get stunning results 🧡

Side-Note: Remember that some tools, like Stable Diffusion, are NOT platforms you can use straight-up. So checking out tutorials before you get started is highly recommended 💡

Visit our creative AI resources for more creators and other useful links. And if you have further questions or need help, please join our Discord 🤗

🔧 Leonardo AI: Easy way to use fined tuned SD models

Leonardo is a platform that offers you an interface to use the AI image generator Stable Diffusion and experiment with different custom-trained Models without needing to set all of this up yourself 😅

If you were thinking about testing SD but couldn't be bothered to go through the installation or don't have the hardware to do so, this is an easy workaround. Right now, you will also get free credits to get started, so don't wait 😉

✍️ AI Whitelists/Waitlists you should sign up for

🖌️ Leonardo:
If you read the news above this part, you know what Leonardo is. So try to get access asap because the free credits (image generations) they offer might expire soon.

Secret tip: It can be a little complicated to complete the sign-up successfully, so ask for help in Discord if you are unsure 🙋

🎥 Runway Waitlists:

Join the waitlist for Runway Gen-1 by requesting access here and filling out the form.

And while we are here, you can also join the waitlist for their new feature Text-to-Video by filling out this form too.

Secret tip: Joining their Discord might improve your chances of getting early access 🤫

🎨 Microsoft Designer:
TL;DR Canvas mixed with AI. Get on the waitlist and try it for yourself.
