Does anybody use Phind? What do you use it for?

I use it, with the phind models, instead of chatGPT. I had to change my user agent to Chrome since too many sites would refuse to work with FF otherwise, and now chatGPT is stuck in an endless captcha loop whenever I go there. I am just a casual user, to help write a quick script or to get some bit of relevant info. It works just as well or better for my use case, and of course having actual citations with links is worlds better than just playing "guess the hallucination". I am happy chatGPT kicked me out.

My friend has the endless captcha loop on ChatGPT too. Does anyone know how to fix it?

I had that recently and it went away last time on its own. Not sure what triggers it or how to fix.

Incognito mode until it goes away on its own.

I use it periodically for things that I'd typically search on google and then read stack overflow for. I started this workflow before chatgpt had web search, so might be irrelevant now, but I've found it decent. Back then it was nice to be able to see the sources vs chatgpt just giving a random answer from who knows where.

I was subscribed for about 6 months between the end of last year and beginning of this, but canceled and haven't looked back. The web interface was constantly buggy for me, and they seemed to be very focused on the VSCode extension without integrations for other editors, so I ended up canceling.

what are you using now?

Mostly just Kagi Quick Answer. I use Claude sometimes, but I'll probably up my Kagi plan to try the new assistant soon.

I’ve use it since last year as a paid subscriber. I like it because of the technical nature as it will help you know the exact steps on how to get something done. I also use it for random things like bouncing ideas off or to enhance my knowledge retention of a subject.

I use it to summarise articles :)

I just paste the page link as a query and it tells me what the page is about and even pulls key points.

Been subbed for 8+ months.

Mostly use it for API questions. It's been amazing at MomentJs stuff. Also use it for code optimization and debugging error messages.
