One of the most popular AI caption generators is Copy AI. Copy AI uses natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) to generate captions for social media posts.
Copy AI can be used to create captions for any type of content, including images, videos, and audio files. It is also able to identify the content of the post and suggest captions that are relevant to the content.
