2. Poe

 

Quora Poe is without a doubt my favorite AI assistant. As a data scientist, I rely on it daily to help with a wide variety of tasks from generating code to summarizing papers. Its capabilities seem endless. 

Beyond acting as my own personal assistant, Quora Poe gives everyone access to some of the most advanced conversational AI models in existence. Models like GPT-4, Claude2, Llama2, Sage, and PaLM can be explored with just a simple signup. You can provide an initial prompt to create a personalized bot or choose from shared community bots.

I highly recommend reading “Forget ChatGPT, This New AI Assistant Is Leagues Ahead and Will Change the Way You Work Forever” to understand how I use it for my day-to-day tasks.
