  1. Chatgpt

    freemiumWeb, macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, AndroidAssistant

    ChatGPT is OpenAI's general-purpose assistant. In 2026 it has three modes: Chat for questions and drafts, Work for multi-step tasks that end in a document, deck, or spreadsheet, and Codex for developers. Projects, memory, plugins, and GPTs carry context between chats. Plans run from Free and Go through Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise.

  2. Gemini

    freemiumWeb, iOS, AndroidAssistant

    The Gemini app is Google's general-purpose AI assistant, and the one to pick if your company lives in Gmail, Docs, and Sheets. Deep Research produces editable research plans and cited reports, Gems save reusable instructions and files, and paid Google AI plans put Gemini inside Workspace apps. Not to be confused with Gemini CLI, the developer terminal agent.

  3. Perplexity

    freemiumWeb, macOS, Windows, iOS, AndroidAssistant

    Perplexity is an answer engine: ask a question, get a synthesized answer with inline citations you can check. Research mode runs dozens of searches and writes a cited report in minutes, Projects keep files, instructions, and connectors together for a team, and Comet is Perplexity's own browser with an assistant built in. Plans run from Free to Enterprise.

  4. Notebooklm

    freemiumWeb, iOS, AndroidAssistant

    Gemini Notebook is Google's source-grounded research tool, renamed from NotebookLM on July 16, 2026. Upload sources (PDFs, Docs, Slides, web pages, YouTube, audio) and it answers only from them with inline citations, then generates Audio and Video Overviews, mind maps, quizzes, and reports. Free with a Google Account; AI Pro and Ultra raise the limits.

  5. Copy AI

    paidWebMarketing

    Copy.ai calls itself the first AI-native GTM platform: Workflows codify a sales or marketing process, Actions are the building blocks, Tables hold the data, Agents run targeted tasks with guardrails, and Chat handles one-off jobs, all reading a shared Brand Voice and Infobase. It is model-agnostic across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and Perplexity.

  6. Jasper

    paidWebMarketing

    Jasper is an enterprise marketing AI platform that runs 100+ specialized agents on top of Jasper IQ, a layer holding your brand voices, style guides, audiences, and product knowledge, so every draft comes out on-brand. Marketers work in Canvas, scale with Grid and Studio, and can pull that brand context into Claude or Cursor through the Jasper MCP server.

  7. Julius

    freemiumWebAnalytics

    Julius AI is a chat-first analysis tool: upload files or connect a database, ask in plain English, and it writes and runs the code, returns charts and tables, and exports to PowerPoint, PDF, Excel, or Google Slides. Notebooks sit underneath for anything the chat cannot finish, and the generated Python, R, or SQL stays visible.
