I have been playing around with CoPilot on my PC, and it has been, entertaining, to say the least, but what about on iOS? I know there are a few choices of stand alone generative AI applications, even more if you include the Google app for Gemini and I guess Rufus for Amazon. The stand alone applications I am aware of are:
Chat GPT
Claude
microsoft CoPilot
There are probably others i have neglected to mention, but what would you all say is the most useful, and accessible, app for generative AI on iOS?
Thanks in advance. 🙂

Check a podcast by J Mosen on it. He uses one, do not recall what is the name but should be able to find it. From what I was listening sound it natural and was able to have a conversation. blindfully.
re Holger and general comments
So, the app Jonathan Mosen was using on his living blindfully podcast was ChatGPT. He customised it, so it would answer to the name GP. But anyway, back to the original point. It depends what you want to do. I've used ChatGPT the most and Gemini too. However I've heard if you want to code, Claude is the best one according to the AI subreddits. I did get ChatGPT to write a python script to rename a load of files on my computer, and it did it! The script executed perfectly. I don't like copilot, it doesn't really do what I need it to. I'm paying for ChatGPT and Gemini, and I've paid for a month with Claude but it's no different to GPT and Gemini so I've cancelled my subscription for that. I haven't paid for Copilot though. Maybe the pro subscription is better? ChatGPT is pretty good at describing screenshots. If there is any text, it'll organise it into something coherent that you can actually read. Unlike straight forward OCR which tends to mix up the content on a page. GPT and Gemini are both pretty good at quizzing you on educational content you put through it. The only thing with both of them, is that if you feed it a really big document, it'll only ask you questions on the first 30 or 40 pages or so, even if you tell it to ask you questions on the whole thing. Writing and saving custom instructions for ChatGPT doesn't seem to help. Both Gemini and ChatGPT will throw in stuff that isn't in your original content you've either pasted or uploaded, and you sometimes have to remind it to stick to the content you've provided. I've tried out Claude with educational quizzes based on content I've been learning, and I didn't like the way it did it because it asked me questions in the exact order things appeared in the content, and I wanted it to mix things up a bit. I've never used Claude or Gemini to analyse images and screenshots and help me OCR stuff, maybe I should give those a shot too. ChatGPT is really good at rewriting and correcting content. I speak French and Spanish, neither of those are my native languages. However ChatGPT has corrected my writing, and I've asked a Spanish friend to have a look and he said it was good. I showed him a piece I had written with my mistakes, and then I showed him ChatGPT's corrections, and he said the corrections it gave me were good. About four or five months ago, I asked ChatGPT to edit an image. I had a screenshot of a page from a textbook, and I wanted it to remove all the text and leave me with the image. However I prompted it, it didn't work. It would remove some of the text but not all of it, it would rewrite the text in a cartoon-like font, so it just wouldn't do it. But last week, I tried it again. And it actually did it! I double-checked the result with AccessAI and a human, and only the image was left in the screenshot. It even gave me a .jpg file with the new edited screenshot I could download. The only thing I don't know, did it recreate the image or try and generate a new one, or did it actually remove everything I wanted from the screenshot, and leave just the image? Now to the not so great stuff. ChatGPT really isn't good at finding phone numbers and addresses on the internet even though it can search the internet. I asked it to find me some carpenters where I live, and it gave me a load of numbers of carpenters in other parts of the country! It has a new search feature which is meant to be similar to Google, but I asked it about an on-going news story I knew about that I had just been updated on, and it gave me inaccurate information. It told me it hadn't been resolved when it most definitely had over the preceding 24 hours! There is Venice AI which is uncensored. I've tried that, and it's pretty good. It can't describe images though. It can apparently generate images and code, but I've never tried that. There's mistral which apparently can describe images and correctly identify the characters in captchas, but I don't know how good that is. And I didn't even know about Rufus from Amazon, so I'll check it out. And I've tried Meta AI's chatbot but I haven't tried it enough to really comment. If you've got anymore questions let me know. I use AI for lots of things.

OK. Thought he also used another, I think he also show another.
maybe Pi AI
Maybe Pi AI but I'm not sure. I know Double Tapp demoed that, but I'm not sure about living blindfully now. I wouldn't recommend Pi AI at all. I thought it was pretty bad. And I know Jonathan Mosen demoed Apple inteligence's writing features.
… But wait, there's more…
Got a few more options directed to me from Copilot. They are:
Jasper AI
Lovo.AI
PicsArt
QuillBot
The first two are reportedly like your typical generative AI, similar to ChatGPT or Claude. PicsArt is supposed to be generative AI for creating art from text, as I understand things. Finally, QuillBot is mainly for writers, and writing styles. It is essentially generative AI exclusively for writing content. Again, as I understand things.
Thanks guys for input, and keep it coming! 😀✌️
I use perplexity pro because…
I use perplexity pro because you're paying the same price for the others individually, but they let you switch between about 5 AI Models.
I'm not sure if you can do the programming stuff, seeing as it's geared more towards search, but you can always try it for a month and cancel it if it doesn't work for you.
