Cabina

I’ve been tinkering with Cabina for a couple of days, and let me tell you, it’s like walking into a candy store where every jar holds a different AI flavor. This platform pulls together heavyweights like ChatGPT, Claude, and Stable Diffusion into one sleek interface, letting you churn out everything from snappy blog posts to jaw-dropping AI-generated images. I tossed in a prompt for a social media post, and within seconds, I had responses from multiple models — Claude’s was warm and engaging, Gemini’s was crisp and professional. The Compare Mode is a revelation, like having a panel of experts debating your prompt in real time, saving me from hopping between apps.

The Shared Context feature? Pure magic. I started a conversation with Grok about a blog idea, switched to Mistral for a different take, and the platform kept everything connected, like a well-orchestrated relay race. I also tried the image generation tool, feeding it a vague prompt about a “futuristic city at dusk.” The result, powered by Stable Diffusion, was a glowing, neon-lit masterpiece that made me feel like a sci-fi director. The Actions feature let me set up a custom command to summarize a dense PDF, which worked like a charm, though I wish the interface gave a clearer heads-up on token usage for newbies like me.

Not everything sparkled. The free plan’s 100-token limit vanished faster than I expected when I played with video generation — Runway’s output was cool but token-hungry. I also hit a snag trying to copy a table into a Word doc; it didn’t paste cleanly, which was a minor headache. Posts on X mention similar gripes, though the Cabina team seems responsive, promising fixes soon. Compared to Writesonic or Rytr, which focus more on text generation, Cabina’s multimedia capabilities and model integration give it an edge, especially for creatives who need versatility without breaking the bank.

Pricing feels fair. The free tier is a great teaser, but the $9.99/month Basic Plan offers more breathing room for tokens and access to all models. If you’re juggling multiple AI subscriptions, Cabina’s consolidated approach could save you cash. A surprise standout was the folder system for chats — I tagged my test projects with #ideas and found them instantly later. My advice? Play with the free plan, test the comparison mode to find your favorite AI model, and don’t go overboard with video generation until you’ve got a paid plan.
