Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool that, as it is being sold to us, is capable of taking care of the most tedious and mechanical processes when carrying out an academic or work project. Although it has obvious limitations, most users do not know all of its potential with which it can help them be more productive and allow them to focus on the most creative tasks. Since AI goes far beyond bots like ChatGPT, below, we discover 5 extensions for Google Chrome with which you will save time and make your life much easier.
Scribe is one of those specialized extensions that use artificial intelligence for specific purposes. In this case, sharing instructions with your work team has never been so quick and easy. And there is no need to write emails to your colleagues with the same answer over and over again: just record the screen to start creating your own step-by-step guide to any process, completely free!
You just have to activate the screen recorder while you perform some of the daily tasks of your work or emulate an example so that your colleagues understand it. Afterwards, Scribe is in charge of writing the guide in minutes based on that video, with the titles, sections and screenshots to illustrate the procedure. A file that you can keep in your bedroom when your colleagues have the same doubt again.
Attention, students! SciSpace, the website for locating and curating scientific articles par excellence, also has its own extension with artificial intelligence. This is SciSpace Copilot, a chatbot capable of answering any question you ask about the paper you have open. In addition, it incorporates another interesting function: by simply selecting a phrase or paragraph of the text, this particular ‘co-pilot’ creates summaries and explanations with which you can quickly immerse yourself in the investigation.
Merlin is an extension that provides a complete companion experience to users when browsing the web. After downloading it, you just have to press the Cmd M command to help you formulate a reply to a tweet, summarize a YouTube video, or write an email. Without a doubt, this is an ideal tool if what you want is to optimize time. Works with Google apps, LinkedIn, ChatGPT and over 10 million web pages.
This extension is quite similar to the previous one, with the difference that in its case the assistant is the bot created by OpenAI, raised to the nth degree. Do with it everything you’ve always asked ChatGPT to do! No more copying and pasting: the Use ChatGPT AI button will always be at your disposal to write, paraphrase or summarize any content you need to use for your work.
If SciSpace Copilot is able to summarize any research article, Wiseone can give a precise answer to any question about a journalistic text you are reading. This tool promises a new way of reading and browsing, being able to provide context to the information, delve deeper into the topic the article is about or even contrast the text with other sources instantly. A perfect ally for journalists!
