You can start with templates, and connect to the internet for research and sources directly in the app. Another option is Copy.ai, although slower paced, it is better suited for tasks such as copywriting which still require some ideation from the writer
Text Enhancement

Unlike its predecessors users do not need to learn prompt engineering to create stunning images based on translated ideas. Midjourney is another option if you are looking to generate images from text, join the beta and start having fun making the AI images of your dreams.
Video Generation
The most recent announcement of Sora on February 15th, 2024 showed the world how advanced this text to video software has come in just a short 18 months. It even had Tyler Perry put a hold on his $800 million studio expansion in Atlanta. Although the software is not yet available to the public, OpenAI has provided people users a look into what is on the horizon. According to Sora, in addition to being able to generate a video solely from text instructions, the model is able to take an existing still image and generate a video from it, animating the image’s contents with accuracy and attention to small detail.
