most lists online feel like they’re made for people with way more time than i have. between classes, deadlines, and everything else, i just stick to a few that actually help me get things done faster
perplexity - this replaced google for me most of the time. way easier to get straight answers with sources when i’m trying to understand a topic or find references for a paper
explainpaper - i use this when i run into research papers that are just hard to read. saves time breaking things down instead of rereading the same paragraph over and over
gamma - mainly for presentations. i don’t have the patience to design slides from scratch every time so this just speeds things up
writeless ai - probably the one i use the most for actual writing. i mainly use it to get a draft down when i’m stuck or running out of time, especially since it already comes with structure and citations. after that i just edit everything in docs so it still sounds like me
i’ve tried a bunch of other AI but these are the ones that actually stayed in my routine. everything else either took too long to set up or didn’t really save time. whatre everyone else's takes?
