Soothe - Doing Good Anonymously This is an application where anyone can write a request about things that bother them or ask for something directly. Other users can respond to requests. The degree of anonymity is adjustable as desired. To work, you just need to register. For now, the service is completely free, but there are plans to launch paid subscription formats (yes, the service is about kindness and compassion, but its creators are quite pragmatic)

Shortcutter — hotkey database Knowing keyboard shortcuts for working in different programs is a valuable skill that really increases productivity. But there is a nuance: it is not easy to force yourself to learn them, sometimes you don’t even want to google them. This application solves this problem. Shortcutter is both a hotkey reference for a huge software database and a tutorial. You can select a specific program and receive daily notes with new combinations. You don't need to search for anything yourself

Whisk — generate images from images Google's new AI tool lets you generate images using other images as cues instead of text prompts. Just drag and drop references, and the service will create a hybrid of them. All options can be tested now for free, but only through a Canadian or American VPN. From other countries, you can add yourself to the launch waiting list - it will be launched gradually.

BoldVoice Accent Oracle - Test Your Accent A service that has gone viral on social networks, which will accurately calculate your accent after reading a couple of sentences in English. Seriously, you will be exposed even with C1 level knowledge, almost without a chance. You simply open the site, record a short passage, and the neural network will give you a solution. At the end, you will be asked to try again; anyone can try to fool the service by changing the pronunciation, but it is almost impossible

Insecam - access to strange online cameras A huge database of publicly available surveillance cameras that have not been blocked from data transmission (or have been forgotten to do so). Simply put, these are completely random cameras from stores, apartments, hotels, factories, and so on. The organizers claim that they hide any camera upon the owner's complaint - but not all owners are aware that the picture from their camera is available to the whole world. In general, it will be boring before the New Year - you can look at even more depressing places

Tavus - Talk to Santa Santa Claus will listen to your year-end results and make his decision - whether you are a good person or not. Works in 30 languages. It is enough to allow the connection of the camera and microphone - and you have 5 minutes of a cozy conversation with an empathic neurograndfather ahead of you. It works for free (within these 5 minutes). Because this service is a festive lure for the Tavus project, where you can create your virtual copies for videos and make videos with AI avatars. By the way, there is also a free plan there - for creators of videos up to 3 minutes long

Animate AI — AI Generates Animation The best video generator, tailored specifically for the animation format! Here you can make professional-level videos, the service is capable of pulling in multi-episode stories, trailers, clips, and so on. The main thing is that you can generate for free! Each user has 60 credits per month for work, which is enough for about three videos. If you need more, take a subscription (from $20 per month).

Iconkit - Free Icon Database A library of various free icons for any project. The widest range of topics: design, marketing, editing, technology, etc. Each file can be exported to vector formats SVG and PNG. If you can't find the icon you need, you can generate it — this functionality is built in. You can create them for credits. At first, they are available for free, then by subscription from $5

Parafact — Fast Fact Checking Your protector in the world of fake news: here you can check any text for compliance with real facts in one click. Just throw in the source material — and see what feedback is given on it. So far it works only with English, but in most cases third-party translators can solve the problem. The service provides links to sources, so you can (and it is highly recommended) further study them yourself. Tests have shown fact-checking accuracy at 93% — this is better than competitors, but still not 100%. Free credits for verification are available to everyone, and unlimited credits are available by subscription from $20 per month

Remy AI — neural network teaches sleep An AI sleep coach that takes care of everything related to healthy rest: recording sleep patterns and circadian rhythms. All methodology and recommendations are based on real scientific research. 81% of users report improved sleep quality after just one month of using the app. Its functionality is available to everyone for free, but with limitations. Without them, it costs $8 per month
