Is there an AI tool for that?
When I have a problem to solve, these days I often find myself wondering 'Is there an AI solution to help me?' But aside from doing a Google (or Bard) search, given ChatGPT only has information up until 2021, I couldn't find a more efficient way to do this. That was before I discovered iLib, which ranks the most popular AI sites/tools by traffic. I've found it super helpful to discover new tools that will help me in work and life.

How to get the best recommendations and advice online
With fake reviews on so many websites, it can be hard to uncover genuine recommendations and advice. Which is why I am a fan of GigaBrain - a site that scans billions of discussions on Reddit and other online communities to find the most useful posts and comments. You simply type in a question (eg. 'what is the best heat pack for a sore back' or 'what is the best roast chicken recipe') and it will give you the top answers with links to the original discussions.
A simple way to reduce cravings for high calorie foods
Are you trying to cut back on chips and chocolate but perhaps you're having some trouble? A new study published in Appetite suggests that a specific visualisation strategy might help.
