Over the past months, ChatGPT has gained a lot of users because it’s so good at writing emails, blogs, code, and more. However, there are other tools that use the model behind ChatGPT to go beyond what ChatGPT can do.
In this article, I’ll share a list of tools that I believe are better than ChatGPT because they offer extra features, can be customized, and were built for specific use cases using GPT-3.5/GPT-4.
Here are 4 AI tools better than ChatGPT.
1. Auto-GPT
Imagine you could automate ChatGPT so that it could self-prompt until it reaches the goals you set.
Sounds cool, right? Well, now you can do that with Auto-GPT.
With Auto-GPT, you can build autonomous AI agents that can complete tasks for you using GPT-4. It only needs a role and a few goals to self-produce every prompt necessary to complete a task.
You can install Auto-GPT locally on your computer if you have some coding experience or you can use AgentGPT in your browser to create autonomous AI agents as shown below.

There are many things Auto-GPT can do that ChatGPT can’t. With AutoGPT, you can search the internet, gather information, interact with files, etc.
Here’s an AI agent created by a Twitter user.

2. Playground
Currently, ChatGPT only allows us to choose the model we wish to use (GPT-3.5/GPT-4), but what if we want to customize ChatGPT’s responses further?
Well, we can use OpenAI Playground. Playground allows users to experiment with and explore the capabilities of various AI models developed by OpenAI.
Unlike ChatGPT, on Playground you’ll find the following parameters that will help you control OpenAI’s models further.

Here’s the meaning of these parameters:
- temperature: The sampling temperature to use. Values close to 1 will give the model more risk/creativity, while values close to 0 will generate well-defined answers.
- max_token: The maximum number of tokens to generate (up to 2,048 and 4,000 tokens shared between prompt and completion)
- Top p: Controls diversity via nucleus sampling
- Frequency penalty: How much to penalize new tokens based on their existing frequency in the text so far
- Presence penalty: How much to penalize new tokens based on whether they appear in the text so far

Another way to control the parameters above is with the ChatGPT API; however, you will need some coding experience. Here’s a guide on how to use the ChatGPT API.

3. Jasper
Jasper is an AI tool that can help you create content for social media, advertising, blog posts, emails, website, etc.
But can’t you do that with ChatGPT for free?
You could, but Jasper it’s built for business use cases like marketing, sales, and more. Unlike ChatGPT, which has a generic use, Jasper tailors the language to specific use cases. This is why Jasper’s output will be more relevant to businesses and their customers.
With Jasper, you can write copy & content, generate content quickly, brainstorm new ideas, and write better everywhere!
Here are some templates you’ll find on Jasper.

I personally use Jasper to spark new ideas, write better blog plots and create scripts for my YouTube videos.

4. Quillbot
Whenever I write blog posts or emails there’s a tool that I use more than ChatGPT to improve my sentences — Quillbot. This tool is a paraphraser that lets you rewrite any phrase you took from the internet. You only have to copy and paste your text and decide how much vocabulary change you want.

Quillbot has different modes you can use to paraphrase your text: fluency, formal, sample, creative, expand, and shorter.
One of my favorite modes is fluency. In the example below, I gave QuillBot a text generated with ChatGPT on the impact of AI in the world. The result? QuillBot rephrased some sentences and improved fluency.
In the text paraphrased by Quillbot, you can adjust how much vocabulary change you want and manually select a synonym for any word you want.
Some other features Quillbot has is freeze words, grammar checker, plagiarism checker, summarizer, and citation generator. To know more about how to use this and other AI tools to improve your writing, check this article.
