Useful AI tools for School and Workplace productivity

ChatGPT ( https://chat.openai.com/chat ) Obviously Chat GPT is on here. From helping you write computer code to suggesting recipes based on a given list of ingredients, ChatGPT can do A LOT. Get creative with this one. Bard by Google ( https://bard.google.com/ ) Haven't gotten to play with this very much, but it seems similar to ChatGPT. Will update when I get to use it more. Perplexity.ai ( https://www.perplexity.ai/ ) Uses articles to answer questions. Think of it like a cross between Siri, Wikipedia, and Google search. It also lists its sources too.
