Every day I wake up, I wonder what new challenges I will face and what new solutions will evolve. It’s the same every day when running a business. You have a list of tasks, and things to do. And then you have all the external challenges that creep in during the day, handling client requests, creating new marketing copy, and putting out new offers.
But there is always one thread that runs between all of it: Information.
To run a business successfully, you need access to a ton of information, both in research but also in answers. That’s where Chatbots fit in. They are like “virtual assistants” that do the busy work for you, collecting the right amount of information.
In this post, let’s explore 5 chatbots I use every day.
1. ChatGPT: The Revolutionary AI Chatbot for Complex Tasks and Conversations
ChatGPT is a revolutionary AI chatbot that is capable of answering complex questions and carrying out many advanced tasks. It is a form of generative AI that uses natural language processing to create human-like conversational dialogue.
It’s fun to use, and sometimes I think there’s another person on the other end writing me back.
Key Features of ChatGPT
-
Versatile Content Generation: ChatGPT can respond to questions and compose various written content, including articles, social media posts, essays, code, and emails. It is a versatile tool that can be used for more than human conversations.
-
Advanced Language Understanding: One of the standout features of ChatGPT is its impressive in-depth understanding of both spoken and written words, and it even understands humor.
-
Coding Assistance: Due to its unique structure, the tool is able to learn more about language and nuances than any other of its kind. Additionally, ChatGPT has an impressive memory and can write and debug code, making it an incredibly helpful tool for software developers trying to streamline their workflow.
ChatGPT has advanced AI technologies and personalized features make it a valuable resource for businesses, researchers, and individuals looking to unlock the power of knowledge and stay ahead of the curve.
Example:
2. Perplexity AI: Unlocking the Power of Knowledge with Advanced AI Technologies
Perplexity AI is a powerful AI-powered search engine that unlocks the power of knowledge with information discovery and sharing. With its advanced AI technologies, Perplexity AI provides direct answers to questions, summaries, and citations for search results, making it a game-changing tool that has the potential to revolutionize the way we access and evaluate information online.
What I like the most about Perplexity, is that it uses “current” search data so you have real, current results with links to their sources.
Key Features of Perplexity AI

Direct Answers to Questions: Perplexity AI provides direct answers to questions, making it easy to find the information you need without having to click through multiple pages or search through irrelevant results.

-

-
Information Discovery and Sharing: Perplexity AI is designed to help users discover and share information, making it a valuable tool for collaboration and research.
Overall, Perplexity AI is a game-changing search-tool that has minimized the amount of time that I used to search for information on the web.
Example:
3. Claude.io: The Next-Generation AI Assistant for Your Tasks
Claude.io is a next-generation AI assistant based on Anthropic’s research into training helpful, honest, and harmless AI systems. Accessible through a chat interface and API in the developer console, Claude.io is capable of a wide variety of conversational and text processing tasks while maintaining a high degree of reliability and predictability.
What I think it does great is summarizing. It doesn’t reduce the amount of content I give it, rather it edits and formats the information so it maintains the original meaning.
Key Features of Claude.io
-
Complex Task Handling: Claude.io is capable of handling a wide range of tasks, from answering questions to composing written content, and can be accessed through a chat interface or API.
-
Two Versions: Additionally, Claude.io is available in two versions: Claude and Claude Instant. Claude is a state-of-the-art high-performance model, while Claude Instant is a lighter, less expensive, and much faster option.
As I mentioned before I really like it’s ability to summarize. However, there is one thing that I did not like. Claude makes things up when it doesn’t have the information. Once I asked for marketing copy, and I thought it was using real testimonials, turns out they were made up. I call Claude out on it, and it said it would do better next time. Let’s hope so.
Example:
4. Google Bard: The AI Chatbot for Natural Conversations and Information Discovery
Google Bard is an experimental conversational AI chat service that uses artificial intelligence to process and answer user queries. It is designed to simulate human conversations using natural language processing and machine learning.
Key Features of Google Bard
-
Natural Language Understanding: Google Bard can understand natural language queries and provide accurate responses.
-
Machine Learning: Google Bard uses machine learning to improve its responses over time and provide more accurate and relevant information.
-
Content Generation: Google Bard can generate summaries and other content based on user input or specific prompts.
-
Multilingual Responses: Google Bard can provide responses in multiple languages, making it a valuable tool for businesses with a global presence.
-
Image and Video Analysis: Google Bard can analyze images and videos to provide more accurate and relevant responses.
Since I started with ChatGPT, when I use Bard I don’t notice any features that stand out. It’s seems to be another tool, rather than one I rely on. But I have yet to try out it’s image and video analysis, so it may pack more than it’s currently showing.
Example:
5. Bing Chat: The AI Chatbot for Conversational Web Search and Information Discovery
Bing Chat is an AI chatbot experience from Microsoft that uses the popular ChatGPT (version 4) Large Language Model (LLM) from OpenAI to offer similar responses to how humans will answer questions.
Bing Chat is different from the traditional search engine experience since it provides complete answers to questions instead of a bunch of links on a result page that may help you find the answer you are seeking. Bing Chat is designed to simulate human conversations using natural language processing and machine learning.
Key Features of Bing Chat
-
Natural Language Understanding: Bing Chat can understand natural language queries and provide accurate responses.
-
Machine Learning: Bing Chat uses machine learning to improve its responses over time and provide more accurate and relevant information.
-
Content Generation: Bing Chat can generate summaries and other content based on user input or specific prompts.
-
Multilingual Responses: Bing Chat can provide responses in multiple languages, making it a valuable tool for businesses with a global presence.
-
Conversational Web Search: Bing Chat can answer any question you have about current events, history, random facts, and more — concisely and conversationally.
I found Bing Chat apologizing more and offering less than adequate answers. It doesn’t make sense to me because it’s working with ChatGPT behind the scenes. But it is great for finding facts and getting a list of the sources. Although on more than one occasion I have clicked the source page referenced only to find a 404 - Page Not Found Error. So I’m not sure where it gets it’s data from.
Always check your sources with Bing Chat.
