Juna from Detour Shirts introduces a video comparing 12 AI text-to-image apps suitable for print on demand. She mentions her previous video comparing MidJourney, Leonardo, and Ideogram, and notes that this time she will cover more apps that viewers have shown interest in, such as Kiddo AI, Canva, and apps from Microsoft and Meta. Juna plans to use the same prompt for each app to compare their outputs and will provide a table summarizing the apps at the end of the video.

The video continues with an in-depth look at MidJourney, highlighting its popularity and the fact that it's no longer free as of June 2023. Juna details MidJourney's pricing plans, which include a basic plan at $10/month and a Pro Plan at $60/month, both offering commercial rights for print on demand.

After experimenting with different styles on Leonardo, she successfully generates a cartoon cat using the anime EXL model, emphasizing the need to select the right model for desired outcomes.

The video moves on to Ideogram, known for its text integration in AI art. Juna outlines the free plan limitations, such as public image generation and daily prompt limits.

An example of a cartoon cat is generated, and Juna notes the hit-and-miss nature of AI outputs, suggesting that Ideogram can be used for t-shirt designs with the right prompt.

Juna introduces Chat GPT, emphasizing the free version's unlimited text generation for various uses but noting that the text-to-image feature, Dolly 3, requires a paid subscription.

The summary highlights the appeal of Chat GPT's graphic style and the flexibility of using it with Sticker Wiz.

Juna showcases Lexia Art, which offers a searchable library of AI-generated artwork. She notes the platform's focus on high-quality designs and the ability to generate new artwork based on prompts.
