Meet your personal AI (Artificial Intelligence) Assistant!

AI tools use learning based models from huge data sources that are constantly updated. You can talk/chat with them in clear text like a regular person. Any topic, not all AI's have the same level of knowledge, think of them as libraries. Some have more books than others or are focused on technical or non-technical areas. They can be fun to explore. They are not perfect and can mislead you or send you down a long path. If you think it is wrong or in error, tell its so! Enjoy. As the saying goes, "Trust but verify!"

This is a curiosity and a source of information. Keep in mind the free no fee AI's are usual several years behind current events and topics. The current Perplexity trained model is dated June 2024!. .

Do not sign up for +PRO version of any AI model, when you go PRO its a fee based service with a monthly fixed price or volume usage based cost.
