Microsoft Copilot Powerful at coding. Impressive how it is willing to answer all of my Linux questions. Fast! And amazingly good responses. Has access to current events.
geekbot.ru - Russian AI. Useful for some things (like coding), but not for current events. It told me its "knowledge cutoff is early September 2021." And it says it does not have "real-time access to news".
Meta AI Fast.... Performed well at programming tasks, superior to both Microsoft and Duck at constructing ffmpeg terminal commands. Refused to answer a question about the Bible on August 7, 2025. FALKON COMPATIBLE
Deep AI Good at translation. Fast. Advertisements can be overwhelming. Ad-blockers solve that. FALKON COMPATIBLE
Duck.ai - PROS: Easy to use for translation. Fast and good at programming, more dependable than most of the AI agents I have tried at code. Includes option to use Mistral open-source AI chat with low moderation. CONS: Acts as guard against certain topics. Discernment is always necessary. Sometimes gives incorrect information. Told me
Robert F Kennedy was the current president. FALKON COMPATIBLE
perplexity.ai - PROS: Fast, willing to answer many questions, cites its sources, less biased than others on some topics. CONS: pop-ups push for registration.
brave - No longer works reliably on Falkon. Does not work on FOSS. Great helper in translating. Answers questions that Duck AI refuses to discuss. Seems to be getting faster. Began degrading its code responses, and no longer willing to give complete code. Gave me hallucinations (false information) when I asked about "the worst mass-shooting in Texas history".
Britannica Nov-27-2025: Accepted my request to translate text.

Venera Venera Venera
gpt-4o demo PROS: Keeps conversation going with some memory. Fresh data: knowledge is up to the current year, which is 2025. CONS: Biased against some spiritual topics, including reincarnation. Does not work with Falkon. Unable to give me the correct current date.
mistral.ai Helped me with FTP. Somewhat helpful with rsync, although I think it sent me down a rabbit hole. Fast. Clean interface. Limited use per day.
aichatting.net ~ Accepted a document with a big character count and translated it fast.... poor text formatting (does not convert formatting marks to bold or italics), some code produced is corrupt because of missing text. Limited use per day. Nov-27-2025: Answered three of my prompts before requiring registration.
grok - Requires twitter or x.com account (which I already have)
chatgpt - I have a login
iAsk - 1,100 character limit.... Hallucinated when I asked about song lyrics. Incorrectly told me a band sang a song with the lyrics I provided. Provided broken links. In earlier tests, it would answer questions that Duckduckgo refused to answer, so I thought censorship here was not as bad.
https://play.aidungeon.com/ While designed for game use, it offered me technical help when I told it in my first turn: "I open my computer and connect to an AI service that specializes in computer coding. I ask it to help me fix a shell script...." It probably does not matter which game you choose. For this test, I chose "Below the Black".
Consensus academic AI-search - worked for me for awhile, but then blocked me without creating an account or logging in.

Others
MiniMax-M1 Open source, shows its thinking process before providing its response. Slow to provide a final answer. Sometimes loops in an inconclusive thought for ever. Nov-27-2025: "Request failed"
SUSI.AI FOSSASIA open-source - Very slow compared to others, but still useful. Helped me construct working HTML. Successfully created python and PHP code that worked. Hallucinates often and gives incorrect information for non-coding questions. Not responsive, as of Nov-24-2025. FALKON COMPATIBLE
(The statement about the founder of Yacy is not true.)
Susi did well with this CSS request.
Nicodemus on bibleserver.com - requires registration
https://chat.tune.app/ - Server not found Nov-26-2025, DNS failed May-23-2025

Gab AI - Nov-27-2025: Requires registration to use.
Alice/Yandex - Russian - Now requires Yandex account or a phone number to log in. Earlier, when no login was required, this AI agent was one of the dumbest, unwilling to answer most of my questions. It even told me it did not speak English, but their main page now says it can help people learn English. 🤷♂️
Unfortunately, no matter what they say, all these AI agents have guidelines or "safety instructions" that effectively censor certain topics. I have yet to find an AI Chat that will talk about any topic freely without restriction. There is always some programmed bias.
