A chrome extension I built a while ago can be used to navigate the Internet and ask questions about webpages you’re on or ask questions about the videos you’re watching.

All in all, lot of current AI tools are not original. There are only a handful of players on the market who have developed a truly generative model. Majority of companies using AI are just powered by one of the big ones and have spent some time training it to work for them. 

That being said for information , learning and creative work, premium GPT (whatever the latest version is) is absolutely indredible. 

Midjourney is a beast for design of images. Open AI's tool for that are crap at the moment. haven't found anything else that comes even remotely close to Modjourney. It has an entire learning tool that you need to spend tens of hours training and once you do, you unleash the true potential of the Model. 

I am intrigued by what Notion's AI (powered by Open AI & Claude) could do but not quite convinced it adds the value just yet.
