ChatGPT: Top 5 alternatives to OpenAI Chatbot

Since ChatGPT was presented last year, many companies have worked to develop valid alternatives to the OpenAI chatbot, so as not to leave users without virtual assistants in case of need.

Today we present you the 5 best alternatives to ChatGPT, so that, if this does not work, you can still count on other valid software.

Google Bard

One of the best alternatives to ChatGPT is undoubtedly Google Bard, the Google chatbot launched in 2023. For now, it’s only available in the United States. Those who have tried it say Bard offers good functions. In some respects, it is even better than OpenAI software.

For example, Google Bard also responds to inputs with external links pointing to other sites, which ChatGPT does not. For example, if you ask Bard where to buy a book, he will provide you with an online source where you can buy it.

In addition to this, Bard can also do other things, such as programming for you in multiple languages, correct already written code, write formal email, and many more. Nevertheless, for the moment Bard is only available in English.

Perplexity.AI

Perplexity.AI is a GPT-4 powered chatbot that can be used by both free and paid users. By paying, you can access the Pro version, which allows you to enter as many prompts as you want, while the free version allows a maximum of five every four hours.

Using this software is very simple. Once on the site, you can start using the chatbot almost immediately. First of all, you must register, then, to enjoy a better experience, it is essential to personalize it with your data.

To do this, you need to go to the "AI Profile" section, here you can enter your short presentation, the language in which you want to receive answers (the default is English), and other information that can allow the chatbot to provide you with more accurate answers.

Once this is done, you can go back to the menu and press "New Thread", to start a new conversation with the chatbot. Before entering an input, however, it is essential to press on "All" and enter the most relevant category to our request. Those available are:

• Academic: very useful for searching for information in academic articles and books, for example for a degree thesis.

• Wolfram Alpha: This is software that can provide scientific answers to topics such as mathematics, physics, or chemistry.

• Wikipedia: by selecting this item, Perplexity will allow you to quickly find valuable information contained in the most consulted free encyclopedia on the web.

• YouTube: by choosing this item and entering a description, the chatbot will provide you with a series of videos available on YouTube relevant to your request.

• Writing: by choosing this function it is possible to ask for help from the chatbot to write emails or programming code.

• Reddit: when choosing this item, Perplexity will scan Reddit discussions, a popular American social network.

If you are satisfied with the search you have just conducted and want to share it with someone, you can click on "share" at the top right and share what you have found on the main social networks.

Poe

Poe is software that allows access to several chatbots, including ChatGPT. Inside you can find many, some free and some paid. Among the most used (and free) are Claude-instant, Claude+, and Sage.

But there are also other paid ones, such as ChatGPT-4, which only offers one free prompt. Prompts can be entered both manually and vocally by pressing the microphone located at the bottom right next to the writing bar.

If you are not satisfied with the chatbots available in the main menu, you can search in the "Explore" section. Here you will find many chatbots available for the most diverse uses: there are some specialized in programming, others in effective CV writing, and still others in suggesting personalized travel itineraries.

Chat Sonic

Chat Sonic is an excellent alternative to ChatGPT, as it allows you to create many different contents using generative artificial intelligence. In particular, with Write Sonic, it is possible to ask the chatbot to help you write articles for your blog, your social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn), your e-commerce, etc.

But that’s not all. With Chat Sonic you can also ask the chatbot to intervene on already written texts to correct and summarize them, or to create images, using a Stable Diffusion API.

To make the most of Chat Sonic, before entering an input, it is advisable to select the personality of the artificial intelligence with which you want to interact. Those available include a translator, interviewer, tour guide, comedian, motivator, relationship coach, poet, philosopher, astrologer, career counselor, accountant, or personal trainer.

Chat Sonic is available in both free (powered by GPT-3.5) or paid (GPT-4) versions.

Rytr

Rytr is an excellent alternative to ChatGPT. Among those listed so far, this is the one most specialized in writing personalized texts.

This chatbot can mainly do three things:

• Create texts ex-novo: for example presentation letters, descriptions optimized for Google’s SEO criteria, or emails.

• Create images: by entering a description of an image, artificial intelligence generates a relevant output.

• Chatting: the last feature allows you to chat as with all chatbots. A peculiarity of this software is that it allows you to choose from a large number of available languages (about 40) and tones of desired answers. In particular, it is possible to choose between assertive, critical, compassionate, scared, and many others.

There are three plans to use Rytr: one free, one at a cost of 9 dollars per month, and one at a cost of 29 dollars per month. The main differences between the plans have to do with the number of answers that can be obtained, the number of images that can be created, and the degree of customization of the functions.
