1. ChatSonic

Best known for being the ‘ChatGPT alternative’, ChatSonic is best for marketers and writers looking for rapid content generation. What makes it an excellent option is its ability to fetch real-time data from the internet at the click of a button. Like ChatGPT, ChatSonic also gives you voice modulation, tones and styles to choose from and also allows you to share your chats with friends with an easy-to-share link.

3. Chat by Copy.ai

Copy.ai needs no introduction, especially if you constantly dabble with short-form content. However, not many know that the platform extended its AI capabilities to its chatbot to make whipping up content easier. Like ChatSonic, Chat by Copy.ai also gives you real-time data from the internet and allows you to save previously used prompts. If that’s not all, this chatbot, unlike others, gives you access to unlimited memory and can remember personalisation based on the data shared with it.

3. Claude

Chatbots can make generating short copies a breeze, but what if you need a little assistance for a long-form document? The chatbot flaunts a clean interface and supports up to 75,000 words. Users have the option to upload files and manage documents, and it is also helpful for generating code. Lastly (but most importantly!), Claude also presents your data and code in a neat, comprehensible format.

4. Perplexity AI

If you’re a researcher working on a thesis document or a student struggling with an essay, Perplexity AI is a chatbot that helps you find the information you’re looking for almost immediately. It also provides you with a feed to help you discover information and related topics, along with giving you an overview of how popular the said information is. Based on your research, you can opt for one of its many search modes; these include YouTube, Internet, and Academic, among others. The chatbot also gets a smartphone app to help search quicker on the go.

5. Grok

Elon Musk’s Grok is designed to facilitate human-like conversations and also retort with ‘witty’ or ‘rebellious’ answers. The chatbot can answer provocative or edgy questions and provides users with two interaction styles: Regular mode as well as Fun mode. It sources real-time information and uses X (formerly Twitter) to reference back to important events. This is especially helpful for times when you require factually correct data. However, it is to be kept in mind that Grok has a paywall and cannot be accessed for free.

While most of these platforms run on limited credits, it may not be a bad idea to opt for the best subscription plan suited for your work. That said, it is best to follow safe practices and avoid sharing personal data on any AI service or chatbot.
