AI Assistants
Chat, write and research with AI.
Sort these by what you actually ask. Questions about the world want retrieval and citations you can click, which is what Perplexity, Kagi and You.com are built around; drafting, refactoring and long reasoning want the raw model, which is ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. OpenRouter is the hedge if you would rather not commit to one lab.
Editor's pick
OpenRouter is the underrated pick for anyone building rather than chatting. One interface across models keeps your switching cost low while the field keeps moving underneath you.
