We Tested 40+ AI Tools. Only These 4 Are Worth Your Time.

By WePickBest Team · Jun 7, 2026 · 6 min read

AI tool fatigue is real. Everything promises to "10x your productivity"; most add a subscription and a login to your life. We've tested over 40 this year. Four survived.

For anything you present: Gamma

Type a topic, get a client-ready deck in minutes. This is the tool with the biggest wow-to-effort ratio we've ever scored. The free plan is genuinely usable.

For anything you write: QuillBot

Paraphrasing, grammar, summarizing — it makes existing writing better instead of generating robotic filler. Premium costs less than a coffee per month.

For the app idea you keep talking about: Emergent

Describe the app in plain English; Emergent builds and deploys it. We shipped a working booking tool in a morning. MVPs no longer need a dev team.

For automating the boring stuff: Dry Ground AI

Not self-serve software — they build AI automation around your operations. Right choice when you know something should be automated but not how.
