How to Use AI
Raycast
is the most commonly used AI service entry point in daily work and life, aggregating multiple models, allowing quick queries to AI via command + space and then Tab.
In the new version of
Raycast
, AI Extension is supported, which I will continue to explore.
Grok
is my first subscription this month, mainly because I tried the Deep Search feature and found it excellent, offering better value for money compared to OpenAI’s GPT Pro membership ($200/M). I plan to continue the subscription for now.
Cursor
is my most frequently used AI Coding IDE, covering all coding projects for my work or Side Projects. Although I have a free account with Github Copilot, it’s not as effective, and the user experience still doesn’t match up to
Cursor
’s pace. I will continue to subscribe.
Immersive Translation is a subscription I somewhat regret, as the release of DeepSeek V3 makes me feel that it should be cheaper based on my actual usage. Moreover, in a way, the Immersive Translation plugin has hindered my English learning.
