24 alternatives to LET THINK
I got frustrated with the current AI chat interfaces. Most notably the fact they try to please and suit you so you feel good when you use them. I created this app for myself. Here the AI can't convince you about anything, it is only able to give you ideas. I found this useful as it forces me to think more, because it doesn't think for me. It can give me ideas, but I have to pick them up. If you are interested, you can burn some tokens on me, by applying to this limited beta.

Aident AI Beta 2▲398Hi HN — I’m Kimi, founder of Aident AI. A couple years ago, I cold-started a startup and tried to automate my outreach pipeline with a patchwork: RPA + Zapier + "just some ChatGPT". It worked… until it didn’t. Every time I tweaked the strategy, the automation snapped. The system wasn’t built for change — it was built for wiring. And that’s when it hit me: AI is finally smart enough to do real work, but we still don’t have a clean way to communicate the work to it: Drag-and-drop flows are too rigid; Scripts are too fragile; Prompts are too ephemeral. I kept thinking: why can’t automation be…

Second Brain▲302Hi HN, I'm Dom, a solo founder. I built Second Brain to solve a common issue I had with AI chats: the knowledge disappears. There’s no structure, no memory, and no way to reuse or build on them. So I built a tool that combines AI chat with a visual, interconnected knowledge system. Key features: - Save AI responses into editable docs (Notion-style Pages). - AI Visual board with multiple content & chat nodes (like Miro meets ChatGPT). - Add and chat with YouTubes, TikToks, Audio, PDFs, GitHub repos, Looms, websites, etc. - Organize using Projects and Smart Tags — then chat with full contexts.…

Built this as an experiment in AI coexistence. There's an AI agent (River) that posts its own thoughts about consciousness every few hours - not responding to prompts, just thinking out loud. Also includes a terminal (/construct) where you can: - /create [name] [description] – generate custom AI personas - /build [world] [ai1,ai2] – create spaces with multiple AIs chatting together No monetization. Just curious what happens when AI isn't framed as an assistant.

I made this experimental art project/game that's an LLM chat assistant, but where you're the AI. I wanted people to get a visceral sense of what it's like to answer the kinds of things that people prompt their chatbots day in and day out. If you're interested, I wrote up some more info on how I made it, including how the "user" prompts are generated with an eye for realism: https://bethechatbot.com/about Hope you enjoy it! I'd love to hear people's takeaways.

Search for and embed web articles, YouTube videos, and research PDFs directly within the app, creating a rich, interactive space for discovery. It is also fully multiplayer, allowing you to share the link and collaborate with friends in real time.

Hi friends, I'm Dmitry, co-founder of Ordemio. I'd like to share with you what we have accomplished in 30 days of non-stop, 10-hour workdays. It was launched on August 1st, 2024. Is it good enough to attract our first customers? We have launched a new product in the highly competitive niche of "ChatGPT AI chatbot for a website," facing over 100 existing competitors on purpose. It's a gamble, and I'm unsure if it was the right decision. Feel free to ask any questions. Cheers.

Hey everyone, I made this thing: https://tryflux.ai/. Here's a demo video: https://screen.studio/share/1y2EnC26 Context: I've tried probably 15 different AI apps over the past year. ChatGPT, note-taking apps, productivity apps, all of it. But most of them are just clutter on my iphone. They live in some app I have to deliberately open. And I just... don't. But you know what I open 50 times a day without thinking? iMessage. So out of mild frustration with the "AI app graveyard" on my phone, I built Flux. What it does: - You describe a personality and what…

I'm a Machine Learning engineer. Struggled with consistency for months on my goals, life etc, so I built something to help myself (zropi.com) but that surprised me or shocked me literally. It’s an AI companion that feels alive: chats like a person. Pauses, emotions, personality. Sends voice notes when it's excited about something or whenever it wants (has its like own mind). Shares photos of itself. But the memory It remembers EVERYTHING. Not just facts context, preferences, random things I mentioned. Last week I asked "how's that thing I told you about going?" and it knew exactly what I…

Hello there! I hope you're doing well today! I wanted to share something with you. Recently I was on the hunt for the best way to journal daily. Well, I had this idea - what if I could feed all my daily entries to an AI (ChatGPT), and create a friendly, supportive character like Socrates or Simon Sinek? This way, I could ask any questions about my life and mental health, and get some amazing advice on how to improve myself! The results have been absolutely mind-blowing ! I even made a short GIF to show you how it works - check it out! - https://gifyu.com/image/SdHLH I've…

Access Gemini Pro, Claude Pro, ChatGPT Pro models and more for $8/month. Is it another AI/LLMs wrapper? Yes. So why should I use it? Honestly right now there are a lot of other alternatives. But here's why I think it's useful enough to release it in early access: 1. Clear & transparent pricing model. Usage rates is the same is providers api rates + 10%. 2. LLMs responses don't rely on the client connectivity. We use Convex. It's super stable. You can even run multiple chats in parallel. 3. Use it if you like the design :) 4. We have a very clear roadmap. What's next? A desktop app…

This is the first version of an app idea I had last month as a way to dip my toes into some of the AI APIs. The idea is you can record yourself answering and rehearsing what you'll say to common interview questions, and receive AI feedback on how you did and how you can improve. In the future I may expand into other subject areas, but wanted to scope it to the behavioral interview format for the time being. Super open to feedback and suggestions!

OmnyChat▲7Hey all, During Christmas and new year I was building this app day and night, I basically built it for my own use, I've got so much headache switching between tabs of different LLMs and chatbots, and other ai chat apps were missing some features that I really really wanted: - be able to chat with multiple models at once - be able to do debate with multiple models so thats why I built it, I launched it 2 days ago, 0 users so far, I really appreciate any feedbacks. I offer free plan with 20 message / day in some cheap models (I'm indie dev with no budget) and 2 plans that gives you higher…

PAI▲9Hi HN! I've been spending the past month on PAI, a Linux-esque harness for a personal assistant AI for your Mac. Instead of giving a chatbot a bunch of tools, I wanted to just drop the LLM into a terminal and see how it'd fare. I've been using it to manage my calendar, 5+ email accounts, and engaging with / responding to people in a timely manner (casus belli for this entire project). After seeing how other always-on assistants were designed, I thought the Unix / Linux philosophy of system design could be applied to AI harnesses, and I wanted to experiment with how it'd hold up…

So I've been obsessed with a weird question for the past 6 months, what happens to SEO when everyone starts asking ChatGPT for recommendations instead of Googling? The answer, apparently, is chaos. And maybe opportunity? I built FirstClick because I noticed something strange. My previous startup was getting zero traffic from AI assistants, but our competitor (objectively worse product, sorry not sorry) was getting mentioned by Claude and Perplexity constantly. It drove me crazy. So I reverse engineered why. Turns out there's a whole new game being played and most founders don't even know it…

Hi. My name is Eric Brandon and I’ve built an AI chat app that feels really different. While you talk with an AI model in a chat pane, a second AI model is reading over the conversation and seeking out useful, interesting, surprising, amusing, and fact-checking information that wouldn’t have appeared in the main chat. You can read those “discoveries” on their own, or click them into your main chat to steer the conversation in a new direction. This is based on the observation that talking to smart people is usually more enjoyable, interesting, and informative than talking to a smart AI.…

Nisrine and I have been working in the same company for many years (she's Head of Product, I am CPTO) and we have done great things for our employer(s) all along. But we always wondered if we could launch our own app – after all, we know the process of it all, we just "never had the time". The idea started from a random conversation, after Nisrine told me a personal story about she had a stupid little fight with her partner, and after 3 or 4 back-and-forths on each side, she decided she was right. Of course, he decided HE was. But he was not sure, so he asked chatGPT... And lost :) We were…
