You're Probably using AIs Wrong

I started using IntelliOptima during my study sessions when I was studying Computer Science. I was an avid user of ChatGPT to help me get better at coding, and I still am to this day. But as a team, we had an issue in that my group had the free version, and I had the pro version. This meant that the whole group wanted to use my computer/account to get the best answers from GPT. Maybe you have had the same issue in your team/study sessions, and we found out that IntelliOptima could really help us become more productive as a team. I wanted to share this with you guys, since I doubt we are the only ones who have had this issue.

What is IntelliOptima?

It works as an all-in-one tool for AI use. I use it as an individual to access various AI models, but it also facilitates communication with my team, where we can leverage different AI models for various project needs.
When coding, I can share my work and invite some of my team members into the chatroom to give them context into what I am doing. The platform's context-aware capabilities mean that it understands our discussions and provides relevant suggestions based on our conversations. Think of it like Slack but with AI deeply integrated into the platform and its features.

Smart features I really like:
Offline and Online models in the same space:
One of the most amazing things I have found using IntelliOptima is that they have Online models available in conjunction with Offline models, so I can have both an online model and an offline model in my chatroom. This means that if an offline model doesn't have the most recent data, I can get an answer from an online model and then the offline model can use that data I got from the online model's response and build upon that.

Online and offline models

Using AIs with my team:
Whenever I am working on something complex or on a team basis, I can invite my team into the chatroom that I have already worked on, and they can see exactly what I have been prompting and also the responses from all the AI models, and they can build upon that interaction. We have used this a lot in a team setting to align information and work in tandem with AIs instead of just asking and receiving, and being able to build on each other's work.

A more critical approach to using AIs:
We have also found in working with IntelliOptima that we are more inclined to actually review the responses from the AI and not just accept it to be true every time we get a response. So we are more inclined to be critical about the response we are getting back from the AIs.

Multipromt different AIs:
Multi Prompting!! This feature is amazing to say the least…The usage of multiple AIs makes it possible to get responses from multiple AI models but based on the same prompt. So you can instantly compare responses from different AI models.

Image Generation:
Image generation is a fun tool to use and play with, in my day to day as a software engineer myself, I don't work a lot with images in general. But I think the way IntelliOptima integrates Image generation models into the chatroom I am working with, in a super intuitive way which doesn't disrupt the flow of the chat. I can play around with their integrated Image generation models such as FLUX, Ideogram, Stable Diffusion and Dall-E in the same place where I can use LLM models, like Claude, GPT and Meta.

How we use it as a team on a day to day basis:
So in the previous section I talked a lot about the features that are available on the platform, but in this section I want to talk more about how we use it as a team on a daily basis. We used Slack before, but with IntelliOptima we have all of the features from Slack available, such as just chatting and writing messages in a chatroom, but in addition to that we have a fully functional workspace where we can work with the AI models and chat with each other at the same time. This in essence I feel is the correct way to use AI in your day to day work. They don't just offer a workspace where you can have access to all AI models when you work, but you can actually work WITH your team at the same time.

Why you are using Ai’s wrong:
I have found in my work as a software engineer that a lot of them rely a lot on the AI models and the responses they give, which can lead you astray a lot of the time, but when we were working together with AI we actually found that we were able to filter out the bad responses we got in a completely new way, and help each other get the best response possible based on our shared interests.

This looks amazing, gotta check this one out for my studies. I've been using tools like Poe and Qolaba which offer multiple models claude, gemini, gpt, llama etc so it's really convenient to switch between models according to preferences and you don't have to visit each one individually and intelliOptima looks exactly that type of model.

It sure is amazing, you should try it out. You can get started for free, but if you want to play with every model and the image generation, it's a $30 subscription a month. Though if you already have a ChatGPT or Claude subscription it's only $5 a month for access to every model.

But give it I try for sure!
