Cool Tools
- ChatGPT for Google
Use this browser extension to display a ChatGPT response for your Goodle search query right next to the search results. This should help you decide which tool is more useful for your task—traditional search engine or generative AI. Moreover, since LLMs are trained largely on data scraped from the internet, you can use the Google search results to get a sense for the training data that could be underlying the generated response.
- Logi Options+ with Logi AI Prompt Builder
Logi Options+ is the software used to customize your Logitech keyboard and mouse products. Logitech recently added the AI Prompt Builder feature, which lets you access ChatGPT easily from any program using a Logitech mouse or keyboard without interrupting your workflow. While this software does require Logitech peripherals, I'm using it on a mouse I've had for more than 5 years, so it may not require any investment on your part.
