The assistant we trust with long, careful, high-stakes work. The strongest one we tested for big documents and writing that sounds human.
AI tool reviews
The full list of tools we've paid for, used on real work, and given a single honest verdict. Each review includes current pricing, who it's for, and a note on subscribing from abroad.
The most complete do-everything assistant — the safe first pick if you want one app that covers the widest range of tasks.
The assistant that already lives in Gmail and Docs, with a context window that swallows huge documents. The natural pick if you live in Google.
The fastest way to a cited answer. Our daily tool for scoping topics and fact-checking before we write.
The quiet default for writing code — inline autocomplete that fades into the background and saves real time on boilerplate.
Capable writing and coding, free for ordinary use. A strong zero-cost pick for non-sensitive work — just read the data terms first.
Strongest when the question is "right now" — live context from a social feed, plus much-improved coding. A capable second opinion.
Genuinely useful if your team already lives in Notion — the "ask your workspace" search is the reason to pay. Otherwise, skip.
