You don't need 1,000 AI tools. You need the ones that actually work.

We spent the last weeks trying every tool we can find to find the ones you should actually pay attention to.

Here are the first 20 tools we recommend and why: First, some criteria.

We are trying to cut through the immense noise around AI tools.

We're recommending tools that:

- Work, are useful, best in category, focus on ease of use
- Apply to work/business settings
- Are serious products built by serious people

You can earn up to $25-45/hour right now helping to train AI models.

You don't need a technical degree! You just need some relevant topic experience and an Internet connection.

Here's how: Scale AI needs your help training AI models.

Example tasks:

- Rank a series of responses that were produced by an AI model.
- Based on a given topic, write a short story about that topic.
- Assess whether a piece of text produced by an AI model is factually accurate or not.

BREAKING: Microsoft is dropping a big set of updates to Bing Chat today.

- Bing Chat Plugins
- Multimodal answers
- Persistent chat + chat history
- No more waitlist to use

Let's take a closer look: 1. Following ChatGPT's lead, Bing Chat will soon have plugins.

Similar launch partners, too - OpenTable, WolframAlpha, etc.

And if you're building a plugin, I suspect this means you'll also tap into the 100 million Bing DAUs.

Soon: Microsoft 365 plugins?

BREAKING: After raising $225 million, @inflectionAI has launched Pi, a personal AI.

Together is announcing RedPajama, a fully open source project to replicate LLaMA.

We will soon have a ChatGPT that is completely owned by the people vs. controlled by OpenAI.

This launch will go over most people's heads, so let's do a quick explainer. In early March, Meta released LLaMA, a family of models that beats GPT-3.

The LLaMA blog post talked extensively about the importance of giving more people access to models to make them safer.

They opened signups to researchers and gave access pretty widely.

Big batch of announcements today from Amazon, Stability AI, Google and Meta.

Putting it on every device gives us:

1. Privacy
2. Speed
3. Personalization

Wow. ChatGPT just got even more interesting.

Plugins now available, including one that allows ChatGPT to browse the Internet!

It's not just about writing poems and blog posts anymore. It's about DOING stuff.

Some of my favorite examples: Web Browser plugs into Bing.

ChatGPT will now know when and how to search for information.
