Designed in Canva by author

Introduction

In a world where information is a new currency, having the ability to create personalized AI chatbots in just minutes without actually writing code or spending much time, at just a click of a button is such a treat.

Imagine talking to you own data like PDFs, huge CSV files, presentations, Docs and much more, without spending hours on searching and going through everything, but having a razor-sharp focus by talking to your data.

This is where ChatBase comes into the picture — I recently came across this tool, and it's a platform that empowers you to craft AI chatbots from your data like standard files(PDF, .docx, .txt, .csv, etc.), text files, crawl websites, and much more. Then add it as a widget to your website, blogs using embeds, links or chat with it through its API or build apps on top of it for your Company’s team by training the bot on company’s data securely.

Bonus Tip: One great tool I recently started using for writing and tasks such as plagiarism checker, grammar checker, Co-writer, paraphraser, summariser, and translator is QuillBot .

I wanted to try something similar and cheaper than Grammarly.

I took up its yearly premium for around $2/month (45% off) during the Year-end sale using coupon code — (HOLIDAY45), valid till December end. The price was literally dirt cheap compared to other writing tools I have used in the past.

Personally, it’s UI and UX is very simple and easy to use. So I just wanted to share this awesome, productive tool with you all. Do check it out and use it in your day-to-day writing tasks.
