Travelling with ChatGPT is incredible. Translate this Japanese menu into romaji (latin character Japanese) and English. Explain the difference between Turkish yoghurt dishes haydari and cacik. Walking around Manila with voice mode talking me through some basic Tagalog phrases I might need.

>Explain the difference between Turkish yoghurt dishes haydari and cacik wow something that you can find literally in the second sentence of the wikipedia article for haydari.

Btw, it's the third sentence.

Claude Code. It's so amazing, and not just for code. You can use it for pretty much all kinds of projects. See, for example, this post of a user sharing his automated workflow https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1liylon/were_unde...

I have my own personal digital assistant in the form of a telegram bot. Why telegram? Because it is in a group with me, my wife, and the bot. It manages our calendars, reminders, shopping list, and a few other things. When we think of something that might be useful, I add it. It's been great, and because it's on telegram, my wife uses it without issues.

there are a lot of mixed reviews on this tool but chatgpt still is one of my most used ai tools - from work to personal life.

i find it helpful to sort of help me make sense of things when i have lots of ideas and unable to structure it

I've even used it for emergencies - trying to locate a place while visiting another city and both maps and the place's insta guide failed .. it was pouring down there. (maybe that's why im partial lol)

i have also started enjoying notebooklm for contextual content generation

gemini - ive tried but it keeps disappointing. currently exploring perplexity
