Overall list of useful AI tools
- perplexity.ai - Perplexity
- For very accurate answers especially pro version. It can also go online and look at latest information for answering. Integrate via ThunderAI to Thunderbird using Thunder AI Thunderbird plugin based access to perplexity API
- chat.openai.com - Chat GPT
- Good for writing or creative tasks. Integrate via Aify to Thunderbird. See Aify Thunderbird plugin based access to OpenAI API It is multimodal so that it can generate images, work with audio and video. It can understand spreadsheets, etc. It can be used including image generation and recognition via API on local system using PyGPT
- gemini.google.com ( https://aistudio.google.com/ ) - Gemini 2
- It can be used to learn tool by sharing screen. We can also do live interaction with it completely via voice.
- eraser.io/diagramgpt
- This is good at drawing diagrams
- Ollama
- This can run locally on system as explained at Ollama. We can integrate this with Thunderbird via ThunderAI plugin as it supports local OpenAI compatible API. See Using Ollama with Thunderbird ThunderAI plugin
- usebubbles.com
- AI notetake and recording tool for meetings. No need of local agent and works completely via browser even in Linux.
- notebooklm.google.com
- We can upload sources including pdf, word, youtube links, etc. and then get replies to queries only based on uploaded sources. This can build a podcast or executive summary based on uploaded documents. We can also get timeline of events, if applicable.
- PyGPT
- Do ChatGPT API based queries and tasks locally on system. This has ability to run local commands. There are also options for controlling mouse and keyboard, accessing Internet, generating images, voice based input/output, file I/O, Vision (Image recognition), etc. It tries to control screen via keyboard and mouse but that is not that great. See PyGPT
- make.com
- Automated workflows to do some task based on some condition. I have tried multiple others for some email automation but this is the only one that worked smoothly.
- I configured it to check emails via IMAP, send the body of email to perplexity along with custom message to draft reply to email, then send the perplexity output directly to sender via SMTP.
- missiveapp.com
- Very good tool for checking email and it has equally good mobile app for Android. It is good for shared team inboxes. There is private chat per email. There is option to compose with OpenAI integration. It has very good integration with lot of other tools.
- Fireflies.AI (https://fireflies.ai/apps)
- AI tool for automatically joining meetings, taking notes, and providing transcripts and summaries. This has unlimited audio recording for recording in-person meetings via phone app. By default there are only 8 recordings or 800 minutes. However, if we enable join all / share all settings then we get unlimited recording. This is fine if we dont use that account anyway.
- https://notion.so
- For notes and tasks planning. It is like having emacs org mode in web browser that can be shared with others, linked to other documents and web pages, include images, etc.
- https://airtable.com
- For organization information in large tables format with automation / AI and hooks. These hooks can even be called from make.com. The mobile app of airtable is also great and allows editing one row at a time with very easy to use UI. We can create views and share only subset of rows as a link with others.
- Otter
- Decent recording capabilities but free version of fireflies has more features.
- chat.deepseek.com ( esp. DeepSeek-v3-R1 Model)
- Very good reasonsing model available even with free account
- https://excalidraw.com/
- Very good tool to draw diagrams especially using text to generate image. Best part is there is no registration or login. Just open page and use it. Also there is option to save drawing on system or share via link or export. Further we can have a live collaboration session also.
- Open Interpreter
- Using this we can type what we want and it will build code and commands on fly, ask our permission and then execute the same to get desired result. The advantage of this is that this works with Ollama models also. See Open Interpreter
- Self operating computer
- We can use it to completely control computer using instructions. For example it can open browser and search. See Self Operating Computer
- sgpt
- This can be used to use OpenAI API directly from shell. We can do quick search and get reply. We can give image as input and write query for the image. We can also search for shell commands to be executed and it will generate command and take permission before running it (Similar to interpreter). See sgpt
