@mikeyb2001 said in AI Assistant to Vivaldi:
Guys, since AI will never be officially integrated into the browser, the best we can do is add Web Panels to external tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grammarly, etc..
@mikeyb2001, Of course I use AI integration in Web Panels, but it requires extra effort/clicks to perform the basic tasks described above.
I gave Firefox as an example because they don't use (I suppose) their own infrastructure to incorporate AI into the sidebar, enabling a summary of text from an open web page, for example.
As I wrote, they are important for me and I must use other browsers, since I don't plan to waste time in unnecessary actions when researching several texts, but I prefer to open a browser with the mentioned integration and do my work quickly.
Right now, Vivaldi gives me a lot more benefits than the lack of AI integration. I'll use two or three browsers until one of them meets my basic needs and switch to it entirely.
I'm done with the topic. The future will show how useful such integrations are for the mass browser user and whether they are decisive in choosing a browser.
PS. Another example: In the latest version of Vivaldi, there are many improvements in the mail client, but they are at the level of the pre-AI era mail client. To date, the most important functionality for me in a mail client is to write my emails in a different style.
And here comes the most important moment!
Productivity and competitiveness in the professional field are undoubtedly important. But the most important thing is the time saved to spend with family, with friends, for hobbies, for meditation... Time is the most valuable resource and I would use anything that saves me and gives me the opportunity to use it for real the important things. Everything else fades into the background. As they say, no one remembers at the end of their life how many times they stayed up late to work, but they certainly regret the missed time they could have spent with loved ones.
In this regard, the technology that frees up my time is useful for me!!!
