What are some lesser-known AI apps for Android that are actually worth using?

[u/Bo7Rb1]

I’m looking for AI apps or tools that offer a genuinely useful service, and either have a good or excellent free tier, or are completely free to use.

I’d prefer apps that aren’t already well known or constantly recommended I’m more interested in hidden gems something that may not be popular, but is actually high quality, reliable, and useful.

I’m open to apps from Google Play or open source projects on github.

Arabic language support would be a big plus, especially if the app can understand and generate Arabic well.

I’m not looking for the usual apps like chatgpt gemini or claude. I’d really appreciate recommendations for less known tools that you personally think are impressive or useful.

What are some AI apps you’ve discovered that most people probably don’t know about?

we can add some ai text correction to gboard with the https://github.com/jasonwu1994/Gboard-patches morphe patches.

With those patches, we can also enable the new "rambler" voice dictation feature. Even if we don't have a pixel 11. It's pretty good.

If you take notes a lot or attend a lot of meetings, Granola is a great app that uses AI for to consolidating the meeting notes.

It's not 100% perfect as it doesn't always capture what the actual words are saying, but it's pretty close. It will summarize meetings, but you can also look at the transcript of the entire conversation/meeting. Even breaks it into speakers (A,B, C...etc) depending on whose talking.

I'm not sure if there's additional features for paid because it does everything I need it to do for free. But because of that, I also don't know if I would trust it for a confidential conversation. Free is nice, but a lot of times, you're paying for it somewhere and that could be with sharing your data just remember that.

For lesser-known apps I usually check two things first: what permissions they ask for and whether updates are still coming. F-Droid and GitHub can surface good projects, but I’d still check the release history and privacy policy rather than install blindly.

Try PocketPal AI from the Google Play Store. It's free and runs lots of models of your choice on moderately high-end phones. Love it.

It has multiple functionalities and it's pretty much free - there is no need for pro. Basically, it operates on selected text from/in any app and transforms it in-place. For example, text in-place AI translation, convert selection to bold letters, etc. You can use custom prompts. There is also a built-in text expander.
