If there’s one thing every UGC creator knows, it’s that there are never enough hours in the day. Whether you’re juggling a 9-to-5, university, or the daily drain that is adulting, finding time to build your UGC business can feel impossible. In fact, 86% of creators in our recent survey said they had another job or were in full-time education. UGC isn’t a hobby for most; it’s a side-hustle, a passion project you’re hoping to scale.
But here’s the thing — building a five-figure business on the side is hard. Really hard. And it’s only going to happen if you find a way to work smarter, not harder.
Enter: AI tools. No, we’re not talking about letting a robot do your job for you. Your creativity, personality, and unique voice are what make your content valuable. But if AI can help you streamline your workflow, spark new ideas, and handle some of the grunt work? That’s time saved. Time you can put back into creating, connecting with clients, or, let’s be honest, catching up on MAFS Australia guilt-free.
Sounds like a dream? Here are seven AI tools that every UGC creator should know about.
7 of the best AI tools for UGC creators
CHATGPT
Including ChatGPT here is like saying you should drink water if you’re thirsty.
We all know what it is by now. Think of ChatGPT as a creative assistant on call 24/7. Need help writing outreach emails? Struggling to brainstorm content angles? Want to refine your script? ChatGPT can do all of that — and more.
How to use it:
- Outreach Email Sequences – Generate compelling, customized cold emails to pitch brands.
- Concept & Angle Ideas – Get fresh, data-backed suggestions for your UGC content.
- Scripts – Structure engaging TikTok or ad scripts in seconds.
- Visual Shot Lists – Break down a script into scene ideas.
- Portfolio & Website Copy – Make your UGC portfolio stand out with sharp, engaging text.
Pro Tip: Be specific with your prompts. Instead of “Write me a UGC script,” try: “Create a TikTok ad script for a waterproof shoe, under 30 seconds. Start with a hook, show pain points, introduce the product, highlight benefits, and end with a CTA.”
ELEVEN LABS
Take this one with a pinch of salt.
As an agency, we wouldn’t deliver content that uses AI generated voiceovers to brands just yet, but in the future? Who knows. ElevenLabs creates (kind of) natural-sounding AI-generated voiceovers. You can upload samples of your voice and can then create a whole boat-load of scripts to test out. The caveat? It can sound a little robotic at times, as you would expect.
How to use it:
- Generate voiceovers for product demos, UGC ads, and explainer videos.
- Save time by producing multiple variations of an ad without re-recording.
- Create content in different languages without needing a translator.
Pro Tip: While you might record a primary script for a brand, offering AI-generated alternatives is a potential upsell with little to no-extra work on your part. As long as you are upfront with the brand about this, everyone wins.
JASPER.AI
Jasper.ai is built for writing high-converting ad copy. Whether you need headlines, hooks, or captions, Jasper can help you craft messaging that resonates with an audience. Use the platform to create the base, and then edit to make it sound natural and authentic.
How to use it:
- Generate compelling hooks for TikTok and Instagram ads.
- Write descriptions for your UGC portfolio.
- Create scripts at scale with multiple target audiences in mind.
Pro Tip: Use Jasper’s AIDA framework (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) to craft persuasive content that converts.
CAPCUT AI EDITOR
This one is a doozy. Editing can be the most time-consuming part of content creation, but CapCut’s AI tools help you speed up the process ten-fold. With AI-powered editing, you can cut out dead space, remove filler words, and even edit by transcript, making your workflow much faster.
How to use it:
- Automatically remove silences and filler words for smoother edits.
- Edit using text-based transcription instead of scrubbing through video.
- Generate captions instantly to improve accessibility and engagement.
Pro Tip: Use CapCut’s AI-generated captions, no one should be adding those manually in 2025.
ADOBE PODCAST
Audio quality can make or break your content.
Adobe Podcast AI removes background noise, enhances clarity, and balances sound levels—all with a single click. Whilst it was created for podcasters, it is the best kept secret for content creators to up their sound quality for free.
How to use it:
- Clean up voiceovers recorded on your phone.
- Improve sound quality for testimonial videos or spoken content.
- Fix poorly recorded audio instead of re-shooting entire clips.
SYLLABY
Syllaby helps generate content ideas based on real audience searches, so you can create videos that people are already looking for.
How to use it:
- Find trending topics related to your niche.
- Plan a content calendar with high-demand topics.
- Optimize your content for SEO and discoverability.
Pro Tip: If you’re struggling with what to post, use Syllaby to uncover the questions your audience is already asking.
BETTER LEGAL AI
We all know UGC contracts can be a headache. Better Legal AI translates legal jargon into plain English, so you know exactly what you’re signing.
How to use it:
- Upload a brand contract and get a simplified breakdown of terms.
- Check for red flags before agreeing to terms.
- Save money on legal fees by understanding contracts yourself.
Pro Tip: Always double-check AI-generated legal insights with a professional before signing anything major.
BONUS TOOL: BUTTER AI
Ah, Butter. This is overkill for most UGC creators, but it can be magic for creatives working on ads. If you’re delivering elevated UGC that is ad platform optimized, this is invaluable. It’s AI-powered editing software that replicates winning ad creatives and turns them into templates optimized for e-commerce and DTC brands.
💭 Final thoughts
AI isn’t here to replace UGC creators — but it is here to help you work smarter. The right tools can save you hours, improve your content quality, and help you land more deals.
That said, don’t let AI take over the parts that make you you.
