The New ChatGPT Alternative for Faster, Smarter AI Research

4 min read

AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini have changed how we do research forever. So much so that when ChatGPT went offline for a few hours, the entire world shut down too. As essential as they’ve become to professionals, let’s not forget that they come with major frustrations. Here are a few of them:

  • Outdated information: The free version of ChatGPT, like ChatGPT-3.5, doesn’t browse the internet. It can only share info it learned during training, which usually stops before 2023. So, it can’t provide you with real-time updates or information about anything that happened after that.

  • Vague or unreliable answers: Sometimes, the responses lack sources, which can make the information appear unclear or even inaccurate. According to a Stanford report, “hallucinations” of AI responses can reach up to 88% in some fields.

  • No browser access: You’ll find yourself constantly copying and pasting between tabs to look things up or double-check facts.

If you’re a busy professional, this won’t do. But is there a better alternative to help you save hours of research and not wonder about the accuracy of your data?

There is, and it’s called Datarag AI.
