    If you’re interested in experimenting with AI planner recs, I’d definitely try perplexity.ai. As you noticed in your experiment, ChatGPT is not really good at answering questions for which internet search would be helpful. Perplexity (not a sponsor, lol) is more like AI-enhanced internet search.

    Here’s the results I got from doing a search for a specific kind of planner. IDK enough about planners to know if the recommendation is better than what ChatGPT would give, but it’s working in a different way.
