Smart Assistant

AI assistants for everyday knowledge work: general chat, long-document reading with citations, browser and desktop helpers, and agents built on your company’s own data.

207 tools Updated daily

This category gathers assistants that answer, summarise and act on your behalf. Some are general conversation partners. Others are narrower and more useful for it: Kimi reads long PDFs and answers with citations, Harpa AI works inside the browser, Raycast brings AI into a macOS launcher, and Dust lets a team build agents that draw on Notion, Slack and Google Drive. The right one depends less on the model behind it than on where your information lives.

Where does the assistant get its answers?

A general chatbot answers from what it learned in training plus whatever you paste in. For work questions that is often not enough. Kimi is built for long documents and structured extraction, while Dust connects to the tools a company already uses, so answers come from internal pages rather than guesswork. If your own notes are the source, Obsidian AI adds summarising and generation to a note-taking setup that can also work offline.

Questions to ask before you connect anything

  • Which accounts and folders will it be able to read, and can you narrow that?
  • Does it cite the passage behind each answer so you can check it?
  • Does it run where you already work: the browser, the desktop or a chat app?

For assistants that live inside web pages, see AI with browser. If the goal is chaining steps into a repeatable process, Workflow is the better starting point.
