This is my reasoning for staying clear of putting in the effort to learn web3 and blockchain technologies until I can see an undeniable usecase to build things with it. So far I have not.\r\n\r\nBut this recent AI hype is not just hype.. It really is changing the game right now and I'm excited to see what's to come of it. \r\n\r\nAI will affect the workforce similar to the invention of the tractor - A lot of jobs will be lost from it, but a lot of new jobs are being created from it daily.\r\n\r\n## Anyway the nice ai tool...\r\nI use it many times daily. It allows you to search many ai's at the same time:\r\n $\"Screenshot$ \r\n\r\nYou can find it here:\r\nhttps://github.com/smol-ai/menubar\n\nThanks @swyxio !\n\nOr my fork: \r\nhttps://github.com/kataqatsi/smol-menubar\r\n\r\nI might try personalizing it by removing claudia, adding google, and adding duckduckgo to search everything all at once if I find the time.\r\n\r\nAlso I'm going to try to do more posts and start learning in public.\n\nI'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.","frontmatter":{},"title":"Very nice AI productivity tool","description":"I recently discovered one of the best productivity tools I've ever seen and thought I'd share.
