Since its launch in 2022, ChatGPT by OpenAI has gained immense popularity, attracting over a million users in just a few days. With more than half of companies using chatbots and AI to boost efficiency, it’s evident that conversational AI services are crucial to many businesses. However, not all companies need the same chatbot and AI services, prompting some to seek out the top alternatives currently available.
Bing AI
Microsoft’s Bing AI is a search engine that uses AI to gather information from the internet and provide answers to user queries. Unlike ChatGPT, Bing AI has access to the internet and can browse for relevant content. In addition to personalized recommendations, Bing AI also offers conversation style options and native integration with Android and Apple devices. This makes it a valuable tool for businesses using Microsoft Teams and Office. Bing AI is especially useful for those who use Microsoft’s browser, Edge, and want personalized search results.
Bard
Google has created an experimental conversational AI chatbot named Bard. Bard uses natural language processing and machine learning to quickly respond to inquiries. It has a user-friendly interface with convenient features like the ability to edit previous questions and restart conversations. Additionally, Bard offers translation, content generation, answers questions, and generates text. The chatbot integrates with Alexa and Google Assistant and can utilize Google’s search engine for up-to-date information. However, Bard is still in its early stages and is only available to customers in the US and UK.
Poe
Quora’s Poe is a platform that provides unique features for users seeking access to chatbots that generate content and answers. The platform boasts several chatbots, including ChatGPT, GPT-4, Claude, Dragonfly, and Sage, each with its own strengths. According to Quora, Poe offers the quickest interface to ChatGPT and is the sole solution for accessing Claude. Poe’s results provide “Wikipedia-style links,” allowing users to delve deeper into the mentioned topics. Additionally, Poe offers cross-platform synchronization, enabling real-time chat syncing across multiple devices. Sage, another of Poe’s chatbots, is particularly useful for businesses seeking an AI writing assistant. It offers suggestions for grammar, writing style, and syntax improvements. Poe’s features enhance overall content and offer businesses a seamless chat experience.
