In Operation
We’ve entered a prompt at the bottom of the window:
I will give you an argument or opinion of mine. I want you to criticise it as if you were Elon Musk.
Argument: Start an AI-based business
In our example, the prompt is issued simultaneously to ChatGPT, Bard, Claude 2, Perplexity, Poe, and Smol. Here’s the output from these different services.
As you can see you can quickly cross-check the AI responses.
It’s also possible to explore one service at a time accessible with a simple keyboard shortcut. For example, to see only the response from Google Bard (which is the 2nd column), we press CTRL+2. We can resize panes by dragging and clicking, and there’s zoom functionality. The keyboard shortcuts are customizable too. The interface lets you easily enable and disable providers as well as reorder them.
What else does GodMode offer?
There’s light and dark theme toggling, and prompt refining with Prompt Critic which uses Llama 2 to improve your prompting.
Summary
GodMode offers an easy way to quickly get responses to questions and verify facts. We certainly have more reassurance about the results given that there are a wide range of AI services to simultaneously check outputs.
There’s support for a wide range of AI models, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, Perplexity is a great way to verify information as it generates citations from sources. This helps you evaluate the accuracy of the results. Claude 2 is useful for finding out general information, and ChatGPT is useful for us for boring programming tasks although the code it generates needs a lot of editing. Its main strength from a coding perspective is that it helps determine what the optimal implementation might be in certain scenarios.
New features and AI engines are being added. Initial support for oobabooga/text-generation-webui has been added.
Linux support is in a very early stage. The interface is far from perfect but it’s perfectly serviceable already.
At the time of publishing, the project has attracted over 2k GitHub stars.

I’ve been playing with this on Linux, it’s pretty cool because I have over 30 years Linux and Internet experience and this significantly raises my researching capabilities.
