    These are evloving and multiplying quickly. You might want to do a monthly scan of what's out there. You also should be thinking about how you might use these tools to evolve your writing and reading practices.

  • ChatGPT for Google
  • Monica
    Although I'm still relying on the free version, I'm starting to think that Monica might be an excellent way to AI one's writing process. Among many other things, it explains the meaning of words with just highlight and click: example
    It can also summarize a webscreen and suggest comprehension questions. It's looking like a great interface for developing an AI-enhanced commonplace book.
