Best AI Assistants
The “modern AI age” is best known for smart assistants like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard. These two are created to answer pretty much any question the user has on their mind and then some. Not only can they return correct answers (in most cases), but can also create new content on demand. Plus, it’s more than just non-fictional text they can generate. ChatGPT can create stories and poetry. If you still haven’t, now’s the time to try them out.
But, they are not the only party in town, though they are the dominant players – especially ChatGPT, not least thanks to its partnership with Microsoft – which used it to beef up its search engine Bing. There are also other virtual assistants you can try out, and perhaps one of them is better suited to your needs. In most cases, these are free services, so there’s nothing to lose. Browse around, and you may find your new virtual assistant today. Good luck!
What can I do with an AI-powered virtual assistant?
AI virtual assistants like ChatGPT and Bard are incredibly versatile and can be used for all kinds of tasks, including:
-
Writing
This is probably the most widely used feature of these tools, so we have an entire section with generative AI tools for writing. ChatGPT and Bard can write essays, stories, marketing and sales materials, history, and even poetry that rhymes in some languages. Because these tools have been trained on huge data sets, they are subject masters on an array of subjects.
-
Social media posts
These tools can also write short-form stuff like social media posts as they have been trained on their datasets as well. In turn, you can get an engaging post for pretty much any social media platform.
-
Emails and correspondence
Struggling to come up with a nice email for an important client? Ask ChatGPT or Bard for help. It can draft any correspondence quickly and efficiently, and you only get to add final touches.
-
Translation
We have a dedicated section with AI tools for translation, but we have to add that ChatGPT can “handle” translation with ease. Chances are those dedicated tools are better, but for most things – you can “get away” with ChatGPT’s results.
-
Learn a new language
Beyond translation, AI assistants could also help in your language-learning efforts. Not sure how to pronounce a word or how it’s spelled? Ask ChatGPT. You can also ask for help on entire sentences, no need to go word by word.
-
Coding
As far as ChatGPT and Bard are concerned, a programming language is just another language. It’s a bit different, but the language nevertheless. You can ask them to create functions for you in an array of popular programming languages or to help you with coding in some different way. Yes, they are that powerful.
-
Organize a trip
Say you’re traveling through Europe and want to have 5 stops from Budapest to Paris. Ask ChatGPT for recommendations on where to stay and what to see when you get there. The results you’ll get are nothing short of amazing.
-
Anything else
AI assistants are getting better with the day, and you can ask them just about anything. The best part is that their knowledge is constantly growing, with developers chipping in with their own solutions built on top of the core offering.
There is a reason why ChatGPT took the world by storm – it’s that powerful and only getting better. No matter what you need to do or what you want to ask, chances are an AI-powered assistant will be able to help. And even if it can’t do it today, it will definitely be upgraded at some point in the future to make that possible. Fun times ahead.
