Some widgets, such as the stopwatch, dice, coin, or randomizer, include sound effects that can’t be disabled. However, you can always mute the creation when presenting. In addition to these widgets, Genially offers you a new family of elements: AI components. These are interactive compositions and elements you can customize in just a few clicks — no technical knowledge needed. AI components are organized into the following categories: * **Text effects:** gradients, rotating text, typewriter effect, text with shapes. * **Visual resources:** image frames, dialogs, notes, gradient backgrounds, and prototypes. * **Activities:** components for learning, practicing, and assessing. These components collect user responses. Enable the individual activity and check the results in the Activity panel. * **Dynamics:** spinners, secret codes, QR codes, calculators, and so much more! * **Visualizations:** maps, diagrams, timelines, and more resources to present your information visually.
