typefaceanimator.com (website, watch demo)

Browser-based tool for creating animated typeface transitions and kinetic typography effects.

Watch letters morph from one font to another in smooth, mesmerizing animations. The tool works directly in your browser and exports video or GIF. Pick your starting and ending fonts, adjust the timing, and you’ve got professional motion typography without touching After Effects.

Search interest exploded 2400% year-over-year, appearing suddenly at 25 in the most recent month after zero prior interest. This suggests recent discovery or viral spread. Typography animation used to require serious motion graphics skills. Now it’s a few clicks.

What’s next: Typeface Animator is part of the Accessible Motion Graphics trend. Typography animation previously required After Effects expertise. Browser-based tools democratize motion design for creators without animation backgrounds.

Animography, SpaceType Generator, and Adobe Express are other tools in this space.


flowith.io (website, watch demo)

An AI workspace with an infinite canvas interface for non-linear conversations.

Most AI chatbots force you to think in a straight line. Ask a question, get an answer, ask another. But real research and complex projects don’t work that way. You branch, backtrack, connect ideas across different threads. Flowith gets this.

The infinite 2D canvas lets you create nodes anywhere, branch conversations, and connect related ideas visually. Think of it like a mind map that talks back. Their Agent Neo feature boasts a 10M token context window, meaning it can hold your entire project in memory without forgetting what you discussed 50 messages ago.

Search interest grew 650% year-over-year. As AI conversations get longer and more complex, people are hitting the limits of linear chat interfaces. Canvas-based tools like Flowith offer a different mental model that matches how complex work actually happens.

What’s next: Flowith is part of the AI Canvas Tools trend. As AI becomes a daily work tool rather than a novelty, interfaces need to evolve beyond chat. Competition includes Notion AI, Heptabase, and Tana for knowledge work.

ChatGPT, Claude, Notion AI, and Heptabase are other tools in this space.


meshy.ai (website, watch demo)

AI-powered 3D model generator that creates assets from text prompts or images.

Type “a medieval sword with glowing runes” and watch it appear in 3D. Upload a sketch and get a textured model back. Meshy handles the entire pipeline that used to take 3D artists hours or days.

The sharpest growth happened in Q4, with search interest nearly doubling from August to January. This tracks with the broader AI content creation boom. As text-to-image tools became mainstream, creators started asking “what about 3D?” Game developers, architects, and content creators who previously needed weeks to model assets can now generate them in minutes.

Search interest grew 159% year-over-year, climbing from 34 to 88 by January.

What’s next: Meshy is part of the AI Content Creation trend. Generative AI is expanding beyond 2D images into 3D, video, and audio. As these tools mature, expect them to integrate directly into game engines and creative suites, making AI-generated assets a standard part of production pipelines.

Luma AI, Kaedim, and Spline AI are other tools in this space.
