ReadyRunner

ReadyRunner is an AI assistant app based on the GPT-3 and GPT-4 large language models, running on your desktop or in the browser, that's designed to help you get more done by handling a variety of tasks. You can use three chat interfaces: standard assistant chat, ScratchPad for coauthoring text and code, and Document Chat, which asks questions about documents you upload. The idea is to get more done and do it more efficiently.

Among ReadyRunner's features are:

• Assistant Chat: Use the standard AI assistant chat interface with customizable prompts.
• ScratchPad: Coauthor text and code with the AI assistant, with the ability to iterate and summarize.
• Document Chat: Upload documents and ask questions, with the AI reading the text to give you an answer.
• Global Hotkey Access: Launch ReadyRunner from anywhere on your system with a hotkey you set.
• System Prompt Library: Store persistent prompts to control what kind of answers you get from the assistant.
• Assistant Memory: Clear the memory to avoid context confusion and get more focused answers.

ReadyRunner has a few pricing tiers. The Dev plan, which requires you to have your own OpenAI API key, costs $8 per month or $6 per month per year. The Plus plan, which comes with 50 GPT-3 messages and 45 GPT-4 messages, costs $12 per month or $10 per month per year. The Pro plan, which comes with 1,000 GPT-3 messages and 150 GPT-4 messages, costs $19 per month or $15 per month per year. You can try ReadyRunner for free with 10 free messages per month, and you can upgrade or use your own API key.

ReadyRunner is geared for people who want to use AI to help them get more done. It can handle a lot of tasks, including writing and programming, learning and processing documents. It positions itself as useful for productive work, but it warns you to validate AI answers for trustworthiness.
