Top 5 Uses of Generative AI (2025)

  1. Content Creation (Text, Video, Design) Generative AI enables quick creation of detailed blog posts, ad copy, emails, scripts, video, and graphics (with reasonable details based on prompt used). Tools like ChatGPT, Runway, and Canva Magic Studio are widely used by marketers and creators. For example, BuzzFeed uses AI to generate quizzes and articles, improving output and engagement.

  2. Software Development (Code Generation & Debugging) AI tools like GitHub Copilot, Replit Ghostwriter, and Amazon CodeWhisperer assist developers by generating boilerplate code, auto-suggesting solutions, and refactoring existing code. Shopify engineers reported a 10–20% coding efficiency boost using Copilot.

  3. Customer Service & Virtual Agents Generative AI powers intelligent chatbots and agents capable of handling nuanced customer queries. Companies like KLM Airlines, Duolingo, and ServiceNow use AI agents to automate support, reduce costs, and maintain 24/7 availability with natural language.

  4. Product Design & Prototyping Tools like Figma AI, Autodesk Generative Design, and Uizard allow designers to turn rough sketches or prompts into full UI mockups or engineering components. BMW uses generative design to reduce vehicle component weight while maintaining performance.

  5. Education & Personalised Learning Generative AI customizes learning materials based on student pace and style. Platforms like Khan Academy’s Khanmigo, Sana, and Socratic by Google use AI tutors to generate tailored explanations and quizzes, making learning more accessible.

Note: crafting a prompt requires specific skills - using prompt engineering techniques users can achive better accuracy.
