Best AI Tools
The best AI tools of 2026, tested and rated — our highest-rated picks across every category, the ones we’d actually recommend to a friend.

Which AI Tools Did We Test but Not Recommend?
WhatAITools.co.uk keeps a public Tools We Skipped page listing AI tools we looked at and chose not to review, and why: SEO tools claiming to guarantee Google rankings, tools built for agencies rather than everyday people, and tools that appeared overnight on heavy influencer promotion. Every tool on this page scored at least 7.5/10 in real testing.
How Can You Tell a Tested AI Review From an Affiliate Listicle?
A tested review shows its evidence: a score breakdown table, named weaknesses, and a named author. Every review on WhatAITools.co.uk is written after signing up and using the tool on real work, scored on four criteria explained on our How We Test page. Affiliate listicles rank tools nobody signed up for; our reviews name what each tool fails at.

For presentations, Gamma (9/10) turns a prompt into a designed deck in under a minute.
