AI tools for advanced text analysis and generation

DeepSeek

DeepSeek acts as your personal marketing expert, helping you identify the most compelling content formats for your audience and the best timing for your offers. With AI-powered analysis, you can track campaign performance and make data-driven decisions to maximize your revenue.

But DeepSeek isn’t just another AI tool — it’s ChatGPT’s biggest competitor, built on a fraction of the budget. While OpenAI invested hundreds of millions, DeepSeek developed its AI model for just $6 million. However, Microsoft and OpenAI are now investigating DeepSeek for allegedly training its model on ChatGPT output via unauthorized API access, which would explain its significantly lower development costs.

In January 2025, DeepSeek’s introduction sent shockwaves through the market, triggering a historic downturn. Nvidia’s stock value plummeted by $600 billion, contributing to a trillion-dollar stock market loss in the US. DeepSeek’s trend-detection algorithms reacted to market shifts before traders could, setting off a chain reaction that reduced stock demand and drove prices down.

Following this turmoil, DeepSeek has suspended new registrations, citing infrastructure strain and alleged malicious attacks.
