So many new tools have been released, all with promises of extreme productivity. I wanted to take this week's post and break out a few that I have found helpful.
Aomni is an ai assistant designed to help you research topics. The app is still in early beta, and the free version lets you conduct two daily searches. The pro version is $49/month if you like it and need more searches. The image below is of a simple task, and one of the good things about Aomni is that it shows you its work. The system took my request, broke down the steps, and set off to perform the job.
I have always been a big Google fan. I have used Chromebooks and ChromeBoxes over the years. A big part of being 'in-the-cloud' and not relying on specific computer hardware is my affection for Chrome/Google. In the last six months, I have gone from everything in Chrome/Google to Edge/Bing, and it has been great. This is one change I have a hard time believing I am so in love with.
My day is more productive because the Bing button in Edge pulls up the sidebar that lets me;
OpenAi's ChatGPT is, of course, the best of the best, and the team at OpenAi have changed how we think about search and information. The company has a free version based on v.3.5 (which is what is powering Bing), but for $20/mo you can access v.4.0, which is trained with much more parameters. In the table below, you can see the difference from 3.5 to 4.
I have been a big fan of Mackenzie for six months, which is a long time in this space. Behind the scenes, he is using ChatGPT 3.5 and 4, depending on your request. One aspect of GPT anything is that you need to pre-prompt the system, which is what GPTBoss does for you. The concept is that you are the boss and must talk to finance, legal, marketing, research, operations, etc. The system has "experts" that are pre-trained and waiting to have a contextualized conversation with you. A free version is available, and paid versions range from $20/mo to $100/mo, depending on the number of tokens you need.
Poe is an interface to use other GPT systems. What I like about Poe is the mobile app, which I can use to access Claude. Claude is the GPT from Antheropic. Anthreropic is working on an Ai that isn't training data-based but instead uses a constitution. The team gives Claude the rules to live by, and then the system churns through data and makes its own decisions. If you are comfortable with APIs, you can go right to Anthropic and request access, but for us mortals, we need to use a gateway like Poe.
