There are SO many AI subscription services out there, what are some of the best values to get access to the premium functions of the AI services out there?

I think I've used a majority of them and I tend to fall back to Gemini for speed. Really depends on what your trying to do (Image generation vs. fast searches vs. development vs. paper writing, etc).

Gemini is good at image generation and quite good with development questions I ask it. I stick with it because I find the answers (written or verbal) are generally faster than ChatGPT, Grok, others.

If I was in the twitter world more, I might go with Grok.

I know there are options that get you access to multiple, that is what I am looking for.

Mostly using it for research, finding peer reviewed articles and data. Also, making submissions compliant for government and other institutions. AI is very good at making sure you checked all the boxes, and often times missing a single requirement means you start over or miss out completely. It can be as simple as they wanted to know how many hours was spent on something and you have a date range, or other silly things some bureaucrat decided was important.

This morning I used chat gpt to make a bunch of documents government application compliant. Took me 5 minutes to get the prompts right and get word docs to proof. I don't want to think how long it would have taken if I had to rewrite all the information with their requested data. If the AI didn't have the answer, it prompted what information I needed to fill in, like a date, name, email address, phone nubmer, etc.

Just be cautious of what Gov't docs / text you're sending over to a ChatGPT or Gemini, etc. There's a NIPRGPT that might meet your needs too that's more "Gov't Suited".
Not sure if any of the data you have is PII or anything but just felt compelled.

Perplexity at $20/mo is pretty solid and it allows you to use other common models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.

To piggyback on this, are there any good courses to learn more about AI and how to effectively use it. My team is creating an e-commerce company and I believe AI could help with marketing. I am currently reading a book on Generative AI which has helped me learn that I am well behind on AI tech.

Thanks!

Why would you want a course? Almost all are either grifters cashing in on buzz words or are years behind. Just tell copilot what you want to do and get suggestions.
If you’re wanting AI to do the marketing for you, like spamming people on Twitter, you need to build a workflow. Typically people use langchain in python for this. There are some visual tools out there like Dify but they limit what you can do. Prob also need paid API access for models, web embeddings, social media, customer info, etc.
I have a self hosted infrastructure that describes surveillance events, puts them in a database, writes SQL queries, understands time, and answers questions about what happened like if the mail or trash came yet or when the lawn was mowed last. It’s 90% vibe coded and It’d prob be controlling the whole house by now if I didn’t move on to other projects.

I understood upwards of 20-30% of that. Like, you have a lawn.

So you don’t want to build a workflow or custom solution, you just want to gather information?
Then just click on copilot and start talking. AI tools/agents in 2025 are nothing like they were in 2023. Literally just chat. It’ll know what to do. If it doesn’t answer your question, clarify. Usually, you’ll want the “think deeper” button toggled true.
Prompting or “learning how to use AI” is obsolete now if you're using copilot, Gemini.google or ChatGPT. Only need skills for that when interacting with bare models or bad agents.
My last prompt to copilot was “rgb vs rccb yolo pretrained segformer semantic seg” and it knew exactly what to do and how to explain. No skill involved.

I’m not the guy from the request- just a passerby laughing about your post

Anyone looking for an AI class is likely the type that are in their complete infancy overwhelmed by where to get going

While his post is definitely over the top for a laymen, the core is accurate: if you don’t know how to use an LLM to Do X, ask said LLM “how can you help me Do X?” And it will likely give a good enough answer to start moving you in the right direction.

What’s good for writing company policies, position papers, program guidelines, SOPs, etc?

I don't actually upload any government documents. I do upload information that I use for multiple applications, then I tell the AI to tailor it to whatever dot govs application process or whatever. It's really good at making sure you check all the boxes, dot all your i's etc.

I use Grok a lot without a subscription or an X subscription. It's actually pretty good for my uses

This is sweet, and you can copy all the outputs and drop them in one of the tools and tell it to consolidate them, create bullets, or however you need the output.
