Description

Describe a task, and AI will give you a breakdown of whether it can do your task well, poorly, or somewhere in between. I built it mostly because I kept getting asked "what is AI even good for" and fumbling the answer.The most fun use is testing it on things you already know it can't do and seeing how it explains why it can't be done.
