Ask HN: Useful AI tools that changed your daily life?

9 pointsby yewenjieover 1 year ago
After more than a year of ChatGPT, I haven&#x27;t found a convincing AI product that does significantly more than plain LLM APIs.<p>There must be some tools that do more, right?<p>Like there has to be a personal assistant with long term memory that can integrate with other things?<p>Please recommend any AI tool or product that has changed work or life for you.

Aside from journalism, which takes a few factoids and generates a plausible narrative, another main application would be psychotherapy&#x2F;counseling. You don&#x27;t have to be accurate or even all that grounded in reality when dealing with people&#x27;s emotions, moods, and self-perceptions.<p>Apps like Woebot and Wysa claim to have had &quot;millions&quot; of sessions with people, but there are not many reviews of them on reputable therapy sites or in therapy publications. It&#x27;s hard to assess whether they are useful at all. My own brief and limited experiments have produced more frustration than anything else. Maybe that&#x27;s just my inexperience with chatbots, but adoption is going to be slow if it requires a lot of learning.
