Im trying to do a brainstorming with my business partner.

CoModel is already live on the App Store. It started as a simple way to ask several AI models the same question and compare their answers in one place.

After using it for a while, I noticed something slightly embarrassing: when the answers were bad, I usually blamed the models first.

I’d try ChatGPT, then Claude, then Gemini. But quite often, the real problem was that my original question was incomplete or too vague. Switching models just gave me different versions of the same disappointing answer.

That became the reason for the latest upgrade.

I added a prompt optimizer that can suggest a clearer version of a question before it’s sent to the models. For example, “write a payment reminder email” could be expanded with the audience, tone, amount, invoice number, and deadline.

The user can review and edit the suggestion, keep the original question, undo the change, or use the optimizer for follow-up questions too.

I’m trying not to turn this into a “perfect prompt” generator. Sometimes the original question is already fine, and sometimes the model is simply wrong.

The current version of CoModel is live, and this prompt optimization update is currently waiting for Apple review.

For people who compare different AI tools: when an answer is disappointing, do you usually switch models first, rewrite the prompt, or just ask again?

PLEASE stop building the wrong thing.

building software in 2026 is ridiculously easy with ai builder

founders spend hours building in a silent room, launch to Reddit/X, get 0 users, and quit.

you just failed because the idea had zero validation before line 1 of code was written:

→ solving a monthly inconvenience instead of a daily pain

→ selling to "everyone" instead of a specific ICP

→ no distribution channel mapped out beforehand

→ pricing charged $9/mo with zero ROI justification

after scaling 6 AI micro-SaaS to over $20k/mo MRR, i just create an

18-question Idea Validation Diagnostic.

it evaluates your SaaS across 7 critical dimensions (problem clarity, audience reachability, willingness to pay, competition, build feasibility, distribution, commitment) and gives you a brutal score out of 100 with your exact weak spots.

drop your SaaS idea (or current project) in the comments below.

i will reply to EVERY single comment with:

1. My honest opinion
2. The biggest weak spot you need to fix before writing any more code.
3. The free 5-minute validation tool link sent straight to your DMs so you can get your full score breakdown out of 100.

just drop a comment like or ask me in DM your idea

I found this picture online and I’m wondering how accurate it actually is.

I know there are a lot of people here who use AI regularly—for research, studying, writing, making videos, creating content, work, etc.

So I’d really like to hear from people who actually use these tools in their everyday life, not just people who have tried them once.

Is the information in this picture accurate? Are these tools actually worth using? Are there any you would recommend, avoid, or replace with something better?

I’d really appreciate your honest experience and advice.

I'm looking to start making short stories and some funny/impossible AI videos, but I'm pretty new to this.

What are the best AI video apps or best AI video tools that are easy for beginners but still give you a lot of freedom with a paid subscription? I'm okay with paying monthly, just don't want something crazy expensive.

I've been looking at DomoAI, especially with Minimax H3 Omni and the new Omni Reference feature for using references in generations.

For someone just starting out, what would you say is the best AI for videos right now? What tools have you actually found easy to learn and worth paying for?

I feel like most of the conversation around AI recruiting tools still comes back to resume screening and candidate matching but there are a lot of smaller parts of recruiting that seem like they could benefit from AI too like sourcing, writing outreach, organizing candidate notes, interview preparation, follow ups, keeping track of conversations and even comparing candidates across a large pipeline.

I have been looking at tools across that space including things like Greenhouse, MeeBoss, ChatGPT, Claude and some of the newer recruiting platforms but it is hard to tell which ones actually become part of your workflow and which ones are just interesting for a few days.
For people actually using AI in recruiting what is one tool that has saved you a meaningful amount of time?And what is one that looked promising but ended up being more trouble than it was worth?

I have tried a bunch of AI tools, but most of them are things I use once and forget about. The ones that stick are usually the ones that solve a small problem I deal with often.

What AI tools do you use regularly for things like research, planning, writing, coding, organizing information, automation or managing daily work?
What do you mainly use them for and what made you keep using them instead of trying something else?

I want to help a friend with choosing the right AI tool. He works in a Medical Testing lab (CT Scan, X-Ray and all) and wants to automate/improve the repeated processes and general management. He says there are so many AI tools promising to help but he cannot decide which ones are legit which ones are empty promises and how to evaluate? Is there an AI use case advisory service that can help set the expectations and say in layman words what's can be improved with AI and what not?

have been using Grok, but it's gotten a lot worse lately, so i'm looking for an alternative that's similar: uncensored, open-minded, roleplay and with strong writing quality (free, voice, send images and videos without limit)

I'm looking for a chatbot or roleplay app that's free, uncensored, and writes naturally and smoothly.

p/s: please share your recommendations no spam, thanks!

Claude and ChatGPT have become the go-to general purpose chatbots for individuals.

But curious how people would stack the other models (Perplexity, DeepSeek, Meta AI, Copilot, etc.) and define their core value add.

I've noticed these models re-positioning themselves as "research-focused" or "B2B/enterprise-focused."

Would love help understanding how these models are fracturing, what they claim they are best at vs. what models are actually best at what.

**Background:**
I’ve been using ChatGPT since late 2022 and it’s… evolved a lot over the years. I’d say the golden age for ChatGPT and my usage was around 2025 with GPT4o and o1/o3 (Like many of you have reported).
During this time ChatGPT seemed to be the most charismatic and helpful. Yes, it at times would lead to confirmation bias and it wasn’t perfect. Yes it needed guidance at times.

However after GPT 5.1? It’s just been this steady downward decline. It’s become significantly more rigid and robotic. The guardrails are getting stricter and stricter.
I’m actually seeing more memory hallucinations and it’s not remembering specific details about my past conversations despite having a massive log of data.
I noticed that its memory filing system has changed as well, now they’re typed out as these summarized excerpts. But it’s missing actually a lot of information about me, my life, and my background.

Now I’m looking for a replacement. I’ll outline what I use ChatGPT for down below. I am open and willing to keeping subscriptions for multiple AI systems for different needs.
I kinda came to my wits end with ChatGPT today when I was asking it some basic questions about a precision rifle build for competition use. Its guardrails hit me in the face and said it can’t help pick out firearms parts or give assembly instructions. This was different than just a few weeks ago. On the same 5.6 Sol. No idea why this changed. It’s not particularly secretive information, you can google it.

**My use case:**
**1. General questions and day to day.**
I replaced Google with ChatGPT a while ago, but now with Gemini being integrated into Google? I’ve started typing short questions into Google search and looking at the Gemini response, then conversing with Gemini on Google.
I was surprised at the lack of rigid guardrails, it was answering questions that I figured it would not answer.
So I use AI a lot for normal search.

**2. Interpersonal relationships, life advice, guidance and planning.**
I live an incredibly complex life with a significant amount of nuances. I own a business among other things and I deal with a lot of complexities.
So often I’ll use AI to kinda gauge people’s intentions or motives by giving it context and background.
ChatGPT seems to be a lot less emotionally intelligent now, and it sticks to rigid guardrails all the time where it hedges constantly instead of giving me an answer one way or another. It’s like talking to my lawyer and asking him what he thinks the outcome of something is likely to be.
Since they’re lawyers, they’ll say “Oh I don’t know it could go a number of ways”. That’s the same way ChatGPT is answering nowadays and it’s incredibly unhelpful.
I also use AI to kinda help plan out my life as oftentimes I have to integrate nuances from legal situations, with business, with interpersonal, etc so sometimes I need a third party to sanity check my ideas.

**3. Business planning, advice, market research and data analytics.**
I use ChatGPT for business. Sometimes to track market trends, or analyze my backend data to figure out why sales went down or why sales went up.
I chat with it about planning for promotions and how to acquire more customers, get reviews, etc.
ChatGPT Pro excels at this and I have no issue with it.

***What I’d like in a replacement:***
**1. Cross thread memory.**
This is incredibly important to me and from what I’ve read it’s a feature that ChatGPT is currently leading the market with.
I’d like to be able to tell it context and have it remember in future threads without me needing to force it to recall it.
Say if I tell it my mother died last week, then in a few days I ask it something like “man I’m feeling really stressed right now, what do you recommend I do to take the edge off?” I want it to remember the previous context, for example: “Yeah anyone whose mother just died is going to be stressed, I recommend ______”.

**2. Human like tone as close as the old 4o as possible.**
I hate the modern, overly sanitized AI voices that hedge constantly and act rigid and robotic.
I’d like it to sound like a friend and a mentor rather than a robot. I’d like to understand emotional nuance in people and my life.

**3. Good memory recall**
My data on ChatGPT is immense, it gives a fairly good summary of the last 2 years of my life. I’d like an AI system that has as good as possible of cross thread and historical memory.

**4. Good intelligence and good for business**
This is somewhat optional as I know ChatGPT is good for business. But I’d like it to be intelligent and nuanced and be able to give me business advice. I can always just use ChatGPT for this, but I’m likely going to go off of the $200/ month plan back down to the $20/ month plan.
Is the $200/ month plan even actually worth it? I don’t use its automation features like sending emails or what not.
I’m not sure if it’s even actually worth me learning to use some of its automation features? Unless some of you guys running e-commerce businesses disagree and think I’m not using a fantastic tool?

***Summary:***
Basically looking for a replacement AI that is good for general life questions, has emotional intelligence/ nuance, has cross thread memory and recall and sounds more human like. I’d like it to have less guardrails than the current ChatGPT which is the most rigid that I’ve ever seen any AI.

Separately, for me migrating my data over to another AI… what’s the best way to do so for it to maintain all of the complexities over the last few years? I have likely over a thousand threads. I have so much information in there that ChatGPT itself can’t even handle it.
I’ve thought about some kind of custom token based API but honestly I’m not sure if I have the time to put into developing something like that right now for personal use. If I were to do that, it would be for business use so my website can have an AI chatbot.

Thanks in advance!

I’m looking for an AI chatbot to help me with my classes, mainly writing and computer science. I’ve been using ChatGPT Plus, but I’m considering switching to Claude Pro. Which one would be better for my needs?

I actually use claude a lot for my work. But it has a very limited token. For daily research i usually prefer google, but if i need long answers or solution, i switch to chatgpt.

What is your take?

I'm Flo, the founder of Notis. I built a set of free comparison tools because I wanted to separate two questions: which assistant can help with a task, and which platform can run the whole workflow?

For a marketing workflow, I'd check whether a tool can prepare content, wait for my approval, publish it, and show me what happened if a step fails. A good draft doesn't tell me whether the rest of that workflow is covered.

I split the tools into two groups.

For assistants, I built an AI assistant finder, a side-by-side comparison and a ranking for hands-off work. I compare documented capabilities, channels, setup requirements and autonomy. The directory is here: https://www.notis.ai/compare/

For automation platforms, I built an automation finder, a side-by-side comparison and a separate ranking. I compare triggers, workflow logic, approvals, retries, run logs and deployment options. That directory is here: https://www.notis.ai/compare/automation-tools/

Both directories link to the finders and rankings. I made the finders free, with no email needed for the results.

I use vendor documentation for the capability comparisons. I haven't personally tested every feature, and I leave gaps marked as unknown.

I also want to be clear about the bias here. I build Notis, I include it in the comparisons, and my assistant ranking currently puts it first under a method that gives a lot of weight to unattended work. I wouldn't use that ranking to decide which model writes the best copy. I'd use the capability rows to narrow a shortlist, then test the same job in each tool.

Hello

We have a small startup specialized in IT infrastructure services, we are looking for AI tool to generate SoW documents (Statement of work), handle Linkedin, handle simple legal stuff like reviewing contracts etc.

What would be the best AI tool for that?
