I’m skeptical of most prompt-based tools. I’d rather just get to the source and tweak ChatGPT to talk about exactly what I want.

GPT-4 has been superior to Phind in my experience, especially on technical questions. And the web browsing beta closes all the holes remaining. Downside is speed, but it's a fire and forget thing.
I tried AutoGPT and the like, but found the self-iteration not very helpful when tackling real world problems. GPT-4 gives enough step-by-step instructions to do anything I need it to do, without it being wired into my file system.
Prompt engineering seems to be a thing of the past with GPT-4 too, though you still need to give context, which "prompt engineering tools" don't help with.
Plugins are also pretty powerful. It seems to hallucinate a lot with Zapier, but it's still the best tool by far.

As such they provide a very specific abstraction for broad range of tasks. The moat for most prompt based tools is very small. These tools are similar to the moat of a spreadsheet template.
At the end of the day whether it’s a spreadsheet to track my mortgage or a tailored prompt, I typically want to fine tune it for just me.
