This actually worked pretty well for my two examples  - Logic Pro vs. Ableton and AmplitTube vs. Guitar Rig.

Is there something that separates Monty from the Bing AI chat or others? I get similar results with Bing.

Great question Matt. Monty uses the same OpenAI tech as Bing to generate responses, but we have a special pool of language data based on G2.com content. What sets Monty apart is the fact that Monty taps into the wisdom and knowledge of over a million real software users vs. other chatbots that rely on limited data and insights from a handful of vendors. Monty is unique because it&#39;s powered by feedback from real people!

Will have a look. However, one could argue that &quot;less Chat GPT&quot; is welcome  at the moment.

I tried it out looking for a specific software without telling it. It got me to something that worked. I then asked for it to find a free option. It found ones with trials and free options. I thought it was a quality tool to save me from searching. With only one suggestion at a time though, I could be missing out on other better fits.
