With the modern prominence of streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, it’s easy to forget about LimeWire. This P2P tool used to let you download any track that you wanted, and it’s now back… as an AI image generator.

What Does LimeWire Look Like Now?

These days,LimeWirelooks very similar to other AI image-generation tools like Adobe Firefly. The tool lets you enter text prompts to create images and audio, with a couple of example prompts included on the page for inspiration.

When using LimeWire, you can also use an assistant to get information and create various types of content. Many of thethings you can do with ChatGPTcan, as a result, also be performed in LimeWire.

How to Use LimeWire

Now that you know that LimeWire is no longer a file-sharing tool, let’s look at how to use the new and improved version.

1. LimeWire Image Generation

2. LimeWire Audio

3. LimeWire Assistant

Here’s how to use LimeWire’s AI assistant:

When I adjusted my prompts with the assistant, I had to pay with credits for additional edits. So, you should keep this in mind and use your prompts wisely.

LimeWire’s AI tool is an interesting shift from the file-sharing service it once was. It still needs some work, in my opinion; ChatGPT is faster and provides me with better advice with the same prompts. Nonetheless, I recommend experimenting with your free credits and seeing what you’re able to create.
