★ AI tools are pouring out.
It seems like everything would work out if I wrote it well, but it doesn't work properly.
★ Born from the arduous process of selecting the TOP 100 from the TOP 200
★ Let's meet the top 100 most useful AIs in existence!

This book reduces the research and selection costs for everyone, every company, and every investor who creates and utilizes AI.
While writing this book, I consulted charts and tech blogs provided by various sites and used them myself to sort out the wheat from the chaff.
In the process, I experienced the endless chaos of new AI services and tools pouring out every day, where today's number one could become tomorrow's number ten, or vice versa.


There are various images circulating online that feature AI 100, AI 50, or AI 10.
Or there is a site too.
Usually there is just a logo or a list.
Also, some are divided by topic and some are not, making it difficult to know which tools are truly useful.
If you check each of these recommendation lists one by one, you may find yourself embarrassed to find that they sometimes include adult AI sites.
I decided to buy this book because I felt there was a need for refined information that introduced truly useful AI.

AI is the future food that will last for more than 100 years.
To reduce the time spent searching for future food, we put in special effort to select 100 AIs that are worth analyzing, investing in, and utilizing.

1.
We created a list of 200 AI tools and narrowed it down to 130 based on metrics like user count, traffic volume, and user reviews.
2.
I analyzed 130 of them, tried most of them, and selected 100 of them.
3.
The 100 items were divided into seven parts.
4.
Each section is divided into chapters according to its characteristics, and is divided into a total of 16 chapters.
5.
Each chapter is divided into tools you can use right now and tools you might want to review.
Tools that are overwhelmingly excellent or superior are marked with a recommendation mark.
6.
All tools are marked with their country of origin.
If you value security, please check the country.
7.
Most of the tools have added hands-on exercises.
However, we did not add hands-on training for Chinese products with security concerns, well-established tools (Photoshop), or tools that are not particularly special but can be experienced at an excessive cost.

These efforts have led to the selection of the Trustworthy AI 100.
I hope this helps you with your choices and research.

★ Now, AI can excel even in the creative field.
★ A world where anyone can become a top-level 'hard worker, creator, entrepreneur, or venture capitalist'
★ Starting with the TOP 100 Trustworthy AI.

We are already in the midst of a revolution in which artificial intelligence technology is fundamentally changing the structure of our lives and society.
In particular, 'generative AI', which creates new content such as text, images, audio, video, and code, is receiving unprecedented attention for its speed of development and impact.
What were once considered visionary technologies just a few years ago are now permeating our daily lives and workplaces, pushing the boundaries of creativity and expanding the horizons of productivity.
It's not hard to find stories on blogs and YouTube of people who can handle the work of three or more people on their own.


AI can write a blog post in an instant, visualize your ideas, automatically generate complex code, and even read text with an emotional voice or compose original music.
These remarkable capabilities of AI open up endless possibilities, providing individuals with new creative tools and businesses with innovative business opportunities.


Behind these dazzling developments, there are also confusion and difficulties.
New AI tools are being released every day, and existing tools are constantly being updated, competing in functionality and performance.
From a user's perspective, facing a plethora of options, it's becoming increasingly difficult to determine which tool is best suited to their needs, what their pros and cons are, and how to leverage them to get the most out of them.
It is easy to get lost in the flood of information, like sailing a vast ocean without a compass.
This applies not only to individuals but also to venture capitalists.
By identifying leading AI and understanding the direction of each tool, we can select better gems.
It also helps to check the technological maturity of a company or determine the direction of a company in which you have already invested.
Companies go without saying.
We must proceed with our business while checking whether the current direction and speed are correct.
But that's not easy if you don't have enough dedicated organizations.

This is the time when we need a book that serves as a compass to help us overcome these difficulties.
Ai100 Research Institute conducts research and development to apply AI to practical applications, and currently operates approximately 50 automation programs in-house.
Each and every program was previously managed by a person.
Therefore, each and every one of them contributes to competitiveness in terms of cost and efficiency.
When you wake up, a more powerful AI appears.
So, I've been trying out and comparing top-tier tools in each field, not just one.
Thanks to this, as of June 2025, we are able to introduce a selection of 'AI tools' that have been chosen by the public for their powerful functions.


★ Creators, venture capitalists, office workers, and businessmen
★ Anyone who wants to explore the world of generative AI tools
★ You must read this book!

This book provides valuable insights and practical information for anyone exploring the world of generative AI tools: professionals seeking to leverage AI to boost productivity, artists and content creators seeking to realize creative ideas, software developers seeking to enhance development productivity, researchers and students seeking to understand emerging technology trends, and companies, startups, and venture capitalists exploring new AI-based business models.

★ This book's unique method of easily explaining 100 AI tools

If you describe 100 tools in dictionary form, it would be difficult to remember them properly.
Therefore, this book takes the following approach to help readers understand and increase practical utility.

_7 types of classification by purpose
To help users understand and utilize the rapidly changing AI technology environment more clearly and systematically, we have classified AI-based tools into seven major categories (PARTS) based on their functional purposes.
This detailed classification system more clearly presents the characteristics and development direction of each technology area, and provides practical assistance to users in efficiently exploring and selecting tools optimized for their specific needs or areas of interest.

Author's Note

ChatGPT seems like the best, right? But it's not the only one.
The 2024 Paris Summer Olympics featured competitions across 329 sports, with numerous athletes competing in each event.
Moreover, the number of occupations in human history is incomparable to the number of sports in the Olympics.
In the future, more AIs will be created in more diverse fields and compete to be chosen by humans.
Currently, multimodal AI includes ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, and Gemini.
There's also the Chinese Deep Seek that recently shocked the world!

Since ChatGPT (GPT-3.5) debuted in November 2022, our lives and business environments have changed dramatically. AI services are also experiencing changing trends.
Before ChatGPT, we tried to solve the problem by building our own LLM, but now we are focusing on the service and internally working with ChatGPT.
In the past, each game company created its own game physics engine.
However, after powerful game engines like Unity and Unreal became popular, the number of companies making their own game engines decreased to a handful.
This is because we decided that it would be more strategically better to focus on game content rather than engine development.
There is even a meme going around that says, “It’s called AI, but it’s actually ChatGPT when you take off the packaging.”
However, if we understand it in the same context as the game engine case, it may be a way to gain profit in one's own field without fighting with large IT companies by focusing on the core business rather than creating everything from A to Z using an open model like Meta's Llama.

The field of generative AI is constantly evolving, even at this very moment.
The information contained in this book may not remain valid forever.
However, as of spring 2025, this book is a good starting point for surveying the current landscape of generative AI and understanding the characteristics and potential of the key players.
We hope this book will serve as a guide to help users discover the optimal tools for their needs and maximize their potential in an environment where generative AI services are constantly being released.
