Tool #6 — Google AI Studio Text-to-Speech (Free ElevenLabs Alternative)
Where: aistudio.google.com → Text-to-Speech

Tool #7 — Gemini Image Editing (Change Background, Keep Subject Intact)
Where: gemini.google.com
Gemini’s updated image model can now edit photos with surgical precision — changing backgrounds, styles, and vibes while keeping the subject completely untouched.
How to Edit an Image:
- Go to Gemini and upload your image
- Type a prompt instructing it to change the background/vibe but keep the subject intact. Example: “Change the background and vibe of this image to [your desired style] but keep the subject exactly as she is. Do not alter the person.”
