🍪 FRESHLY BAKED - AI UPDATES📰

NEW Bard Update - Connects to Gmail/Drive

Bard just released its new ability to connect with your Google Workspace, allowing it to access your Gmail, Docs, Drive! The best part? It’s all private!

Get answers based on your own data WITHOUT actually uploading or preparing new documents.

Examples of use cases:

Why this is better than ChatGPT?

  • Privacy - With ChatGPT you have to manually disable chat history to protect privacy at the cost of functionality (no access to plugins or Advanced Data Analysis).

  • Hassle - With ChatGPT, you have to manually upload text otherwise it doesn’t have context whereas with Bard, it automatically has access to all your information AND it's private.

While Bard's new extension options are still limited (Flights/Hotel/Youtube), the Google Workspace integration unlocks a lot of potential. We’re excited to see more updates from Bard!

Shocking Top 50 AI Tools (Monthly Visits)

Can you believe it’s only been 9 months since ChatGPT launched out of nowhere? It seemed like overnight thousands of AI tools were also born.

Well, here’s the Top 50 AI tools that have the most monthly visits!

Interesting Takeaways:

  • It’s anyone’s game: 80% of these AI sites didn’t exist one year ago!

  • Big players are the minority: Only 5 out of 50 AI tools are owned/part of big tech companies ie. Bard (Google), Poe (Quora), QuillBot (Course Hero), Pixlr (123RF), and Clipchamp (Microsoft)

  • How it’s built: 3 way split between (1) Trained their own proprietary model (2) Fine-tuned existing model (3) Built on top of existing model (“GPT Wrappers”)

  • Self made: Almost half (48%) are completely bootstrapped

  • Money Talk: 90% monetise via subscription (avg $21/mo) per user

  • How people are using AI: Surprisingly, AI is not just for work. Explosive growth in AI for companionship overtook AI for content generation (excludes general chatbots, see graph below)

This explains why AI tools like Character.ai is 2nd on the list (just after ChatGPT). If you’ve never heard of it (you’re not alone), it seems to be a very popular AI app for young people where you can talk to different characters like Elon Musk, Warren Buffet, anime game characters, study buddy etc.

After seeing the stats above, I had to try it out myself. My favourite is Business coach (I know, I’m boring lol) - it’s pretty conversational and feels like you’re talking to a real person. You could do the same in ChatGPT but feels more robotic. For now I will stick to ChatGPT as it has the most context about me but feel free to try it out too!

What stat were you most shocked about?
