I'm out until one of these can assist with my crank

i’m pretty sure my neighbour’s dog is going to announce a new ai assistant any day now

it's still ironing out some bugs, but you can try it out after enabling it in the "lab" section

The neighborhood stray has one called "Catscan"

This is the way to do it.

all of these features are on-demand

none of the things you don’t [need] (such as user data harvesting, ads & tracking).

Choice of leading LLM models from all the leading providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, …)

All threads are private by default, retained only as long as you want and subscriber data is not used for training models

It's also only on the unlimited plan.

AI assistant with an actual business model for once

I'd argue that Perplexity is in this camp as well. It's my go-to for anything more open-ended or for multi-step research I need to do. No need to wade through garbage search results, and it cites its sources. Kagi seems to be doing very much the same thing, but in addition to their paid search engine service.

I don't know that I'd switch from Perplexity, but I could see an argument for it.

I'm not sure what I need an AI assistant for when I'm eating breakfast, but OK.

Yeah, ik. I just said ChatGPT because there are more people who know what that is than people who also know the term LLMs

As a surprise to absolutely nobody, the search company highly involved with LLMs makes a third (forth?) LLM assisted tool

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago

It's probably not written in Forth
