Looking for an “AI” that would tackle my day-to-day issues that are not related to programming, for example acting as a personal assistant / life coach, creating lesson plans for classes I teach at school, explaining how things work and teaching me new skills effectively, etc.

I need it to be able to consider web search options for more comprehensive answers.

Doesn’t have to be free, as I’d be happy to pay if it’s truly worth it.

So far I’ve tried:

  1. Most common options at Poe, including Claude Sonnet 3.5, GPT4o and others. The issue here is that I’m not seeing which one is actually smarter and which one hallucinates more.
  2. Perplexity
  3. Phind
  4. Gemini
  5. Bing AI

I have never had a GPT4 subscription so I might consider that if it’s objectively the best option.

What can you recommend? 🙂

    I was mainly doing python with gpt4, but now im working on an android project, so kotlin. Gpt4 wasn’t much use for kotlin, especially for questions involving more than a couple files. Sonnet is crushing it though, even when I give it 2k+ LoC. I’d say I’ve done about 2 months of pre-llm work in the last week, granted I am no professional, just a hobbyist.

      I’m learning Kotlin and Android Studio and for that I’m developing a very simple CRUD App. I used sonet 3.5 and was impressed when it developed the XML file, mainactivity, added internet access permits and wrote the restful API in PHP for XAMPP. It compiled at the first try, but for the life of me I can’t find why the restful API keeps returning a 405 error. And I’m a seasoned programmer in C, C++, phyton and XAMPP! It was, at the same time, impressive and extremely frustrating.
