What it does

Hotpot.ai gathers a range of AI creative tools on one site. The image generators create pictures from a few words, including art, characters, fantasy characters, logos, anime and cartoons. A video generator starts from an image or an idea and animates what you describe. Several tools work from one photo of you. They produce headshots in corporate, lifestyle, glamour, travel, real estate and medical styles, along with fantasy hero portraits and Halloween costume images. For existing pictures, the AI Image Editor changes a photo from a written description, and there are separate tools for style transfer, upscaling, colorizing, restoring old photos and removing backgrounds. The site states that its mission is to make graphic design and media creation easier and more affordable. The home page links to a credits page but shows no prices.
