There are more and more powerful AI tools coming out these days.
It's very easy to miss out on good ones because there are so many of them.
So, here are some of the very best AI chrome extensions I've tried that can save you tons
of time and help you get more done.
The first one is one of my favourites!
It's ChatGPT sidebar and it's the fastest way to access ChatGPT from any webpage.
When you press Cmd P, it opens this sidebar where you can ask any questions.
It can be about something you saw on the webpage or just a random question you have.
And it's blazing fast!
But what I like most about it is that there are a bunch of other prompts you can choose
from such as grammar, rewrite, explain and so on.
These are really helpful for anybody with different needs and purposes.
I guess the only issue would be that you cannot ask follow-up questions.
You can only ask one question at a time.
But it's still great and free!
The next one is one of the most popular new AI tools.
It's Chatsonic.
It's a great ChatGPT alternative with some improvements.
Just like ChatGPT sidebar, you can open this small window on any webpage by pressing cmd
M. Here you can ask questions like you usually do.
And here's a big difference: Chatsonic can include the latest information from the internet
in its answer.
And you can see its references too which is really helpful for you to check where the
information came from.
But again, you cannot ask follow-up questions.
Anyway, Chatsonic specialises in writing like blog posts, emails and ads.
Here, you can see some example prompts for different purposes which can be about writing
content, crafting tweets, researching and rewriting.
So I'm sure it'll come in handy whatever your needs are.
And I love that you can use this on any website, which means that you can use it on your favourite
writing platform and note-taking app.
I usually use Amplenote for writing scripts, but I could use Chatsonic with no problems,
and it was a great experience.
But since it comes with a lot of features, it's not free.
It costs at least $13 a month, but it can be more depending on the plan you choose.
Still, it might be a great investment because it'll save you a lot of time and energy.
Okay, next!
I love this one!
It's Reader by Readwise.
You probably know it already and wondering how the heck is it related to AI.
Well, let me show you.
Readwise does many things, but it's a great tool for highlighting the key points of the
article you're reading or saving it for read-it-later.
So for example, when I stumble on an article I want to read later, I can hit the extension
button.
Here, you can continue reading and make some highlights if you like.
But if you want to read it later, you can close it and go to your reading list later.
This is where you can see all the items you saved.
It can be articles, Youtube videos, Twitter threads, newsletters and so on.
Now, what's cool is that you can now ask ChatGPT to read it for you by hitting on this "invoke
ghostreader" option.
Then, you can of course ask it to give you a summary which is pretty useful.
But also ask it any question about the article.
This might save you lots of time especially when you're reading a super-long article and
just want to find the information you need.
But this is not all.
There are many more things you can do with the ghost reader.
For example, when you click on a highlight, you can invoke ghostreader by pressing G on
your keyboard and ask it to give you a TLDR, translate, explain, simplify, or even make
it into a haiku.
Not sure how useful that would be, but it's funny.
My favourite is the flashcard option.
You can ask it to make a flashcard for you based on the highlight.
This is great for studying and remembering what you read in general.
I think it's super useful for students especially.
Readwise is one of my absolute favourite apps of all time.
It's super cheap and makes reading and studying so much easier and save you so much time.
Speaking of saving time, today's sponsor Scribe offers a fantastic chrome extension.
It can literally save you hours every week.
It makes it super easy to create step-by-step guides for almost anything.
Trying to teach someone how to do certain things can be hard and time-consuming especially
online.
But using a detailed how-to guide is very effective.
Say I'm trying to teach my friend how to change the keyboard shortcuts for browser extensions.
All I need to do is start recording the process by hitting on the Scribe extension button.
And then simply do the process.
It's okay if you make some mistakes because you can edit it later.
When you're finished, stop the recording.
Then Scribe will automatically generate a detailed step-by-step guide that's easy to
read and understand.
It's looking great already, but you can edit a few things like the title and description.
Or even add a tip or something to make it even easier to digest.
Now you can just share the link to your friend or anyone who asks you how to do this thing.
It only took me a few minutes to create this, which could have been an hour if it weren't
for Scribe.
You can start using it right away for free.
I'll leave the link in the description so you can download it now.
Liner might be known as a great web highlighting tool, but recently it transformed itself into
a research assistant with the help of ChatGPT.
Of course, you can still use it to make highlights on websites and even on Youtube videos.
All of your highlights will be saved in one place and you can export them to your note
app if you like.
But now, it helps you research on the web too.
For instance, when you're doing research on something, it will show you the response from
ChatGPT on the right side of the search results.
It's not always useful but it can be very helpful from time to time.
Also, from its dashboard, you can ask any questions just like you do with ChatGPT, and
it will give you the answer along with relevant articles.
This is actually really useful because you can dive deeper into the topic more easily.
If some articles look interesting, you can save them to your reading list so you can
read them all later.
Also, it's available as a mobile app too so you can access your reading list from your
phone, make highlights as well as discover interesting articles.
It's actually a great alternative to apps like Pocket and Instapaper.
If you're looking for a great bookmark manager or just a single place to store all of your
favourite things online, mymind is a great choice.
It's an AI-powered tool that will automatically organise your bookmarks using tags.
I love it so much that I've talked about it many times on my channel.
So how do you use it?
Well, you just need to hit the extension button on any webpage you want to save or remember.
It doesn't have to be an entire page.
It can be a picture or even just a sentence.
If you want to save it, highlight the thing and hit save to mymind.
Then, when you go to your mind, you can see all of them.
Click on one and you'll see that it was automatically tagged with a bunch of things.
This makes it so much easier to find the things when you need them.
There are other cool things you can do with mymind.
So I should you should give it a try.
It's super good.
The next one is Napkin collect.
The idea is similar to mymind.
Essentially, it's like mymind, but for notes and ideas.
I've been using this tool for almost a year, and it's been incredible.
The way it works is that you save your favourite passages from an article or website.
Then, just like in mymind, it will automatically analyse the passage and give it a bunch of
tags.
And based on the tags, it will present you with related notes and ideas.
It's excellent at exploring the connections between ideas.
And over time, it will become your idea bank.
You can visit it anytime to get inspiration and review your past thoughts.
I actually made a video about how I use this tool recently, so check it out if you're curious.
Okay, we're almost done.
The next one is called Youtube Summary.
This does exactly what it says in the name.
It extracts transcripts from any Youtube video, send it to ChatGPT, which then summarises
it for you so you can read it in less than a minute.
As someone who learns lots of things from Youtube videos, this is a huge time-saver
because some videos may have a long intro or ads.
I do these things too as a creator, but I know it's not great as an audience.
Anyway, I use it fairly often especially when I'm watching long educational videos.
It's quicker this way, and also easier to paste it to my note app if I want to remember
something from the video.
Alright, this is the last one and it is Mailr.
This is a great free chrome extension that specialises in crafting emails in an instant.
Writing emails can be a pain in the butt because it's boring and takes time.
But with this tool, you can shorten the whole process to a few minutes or even seconds.
You just simply give it a prompt and pick a tone.
Then hit write.
Then it will do the rest for you.
You just need to add a bit of personalisation at the end and that's it!
If you're someone who writes lots of emails and looking for a free AI tool to help you,
this is the one.
Okay, that's it for today.
