Hands-On Impressions of Three AI Tools
billyjhowell · x · 2026-07-16
After testing 15 AI tools this week, the author highlighted the three most impressive features: 1. **GPT-Live**: Finally became genuinely useful now that sub-agents can work in the background simultaneously. 2. **Manus projects**: The author feels this is the most "thorough" AI agent tested—it doesn't just meet the bare minimum, but executes goals more comprehensively. 3. **Typeless's "ask anything"**: For example, highlighting an article title instantly converts it to Title Case and then into a website slug, saving a lot of time. Overall, it's a practical review of AI products with a focus on how they improve efficiency in real-world workflows.
