what is the best ai for college students? pls someone make a tier list

thank u guys i can finally make a decision and not cry in the library today 🙏

ngl i agree with @finals_mode_on on the “squad” thing
there isn’t one single best ai for college students
i use chatgpt as my main ai chatbot for college assignments,
perplexity when i need real sources,
and grammarly to stop my essays from sounding like i wrote them on the bus
it’s more like building a toolbox than finding “the one”

facts about the citations thing 💀
i tried some “new gen” app that was hyped on tiktok as one of the best ai study tools for college students
and it literally made up a journal article
now my rule is: if the tool doesn’t show links or real books, it’s not my “best ai app for college students”, it’s just fanfic generator 😂

for me the best ai chatbot for college students is the one that doesn’t talk in robot essay mode all the time
i like when i can say “explain this like i’m half asleep and my exam is tomorrow”
and it actually changes tone
if it only knows “formal academic voice”, i’m out, i need emotional support too 😂

lowkey feel like nobody talks about using ai for schedule stuff
like yeah, best ai apps for college students = not just writing bots
i throw my deadlines into notion ai and ask it to make a “don’t panic” plan
it spreads everything out so i don’t end up doing 4 essays in one night again
best thing that happened to my sleep schedule tbh"
