Need help revamping your resume, building a website, or planning your next vacation? We test-drove dozens of custom chatbots that can do those things (and more) better than ChatGPT.
ChatGPT is a powerful generalist. It can generate poems, essays, songs, Craigslist ads for your old car, and just about anything else you can dream up. But sometimes you don’t need a generalist. For certain tasks, it’s often better to enlist the help of a specialist AI that’s really, really good at one specific thing.
In those instances, OpenAI’s GPT store is your best friend. It’s filled with custom builds of ChatGPT that have been trained for specific tasks, like planning trips, optimizing Excel sheets, or helping you find a new job. You’ll need to pay for a ChatGPT Plus subscription ($20 per month) in order to access all these specialist GPTs, but in our experience, many of them are well worth the extra cost.
With that in mind, we’ve rounded up all the best GPTs that can save you time, money, and sanity. Just keep in mind that, as with any AI, it’s always possible that these custom chatbots can hallucinate, so it’s always a good idea to fact-check the results.Tech Support Advisor
When technology doesn’t doesn’t work properly, it can push you toward a meltdown. Instead of slogging through user forums and troubleshooting documents for help, you can simply direct your questions to Tech Support Advisor. You can ask the AI for general advice about, say, pairing Bluetooth headphones to your laptop, or get more specific help by telling the AI exactly what model you have. Aside from the assistance, one of the best parts is that it won’t judge you for any outbursts. Presentation and Slides GPT
If you hate public speaking and dread the thought of creating a presentation, don’t worry; you can leave the latter to Presentation and Slides GPT. This chtabot will take all of the information you need to exhibit (including incomplete notes, documents, graphs, and more) and organize it into a presentable set of slides. The AI can also export your slides in PPT, Google Slides, or PDF form, so if you want to manually adjust the presentation, you can do so with just a few clicks.Excel AI
Excel can do amazing things, but if you’re not a spreadsheet supergenius, figuring out how to use all of its functions can take up hours and hours of your time.
