Hey! 👋
This is Insanely Useful Websites: new and undiscovered sites you didn't know existed.
Remember the Human or Not site we featured in issue #74? The company behind it, AI21 Labs, has released the results of their experiment - 60% of users could correctly identify a bot. Despite the hype, maybe AI isn’t quite ready to take over the world? Read the full breakdown of the experiment here.
Let's dive into some more useful websites...

Find the cheapest place to watch. Whether you are looking for a new show or movie, it can be hard to know which streaming service to use without opening all of them and comparing prices (if they have it). To solve this, Just Watch scans the libraries of each major service and gives you a comparison page.

Search engine designed from scratch using AI. Unlike Google and Bing, this engine uses link prediction - it tries to predict what link will follow a prompt. This makes the best search queries a bit unusual - instead of searching “motorcycle rental Namibia” try “here’s a great place to rent a motorcycle in Namibia” because that’s what a link to a good place might look like on a site.
We’re hoping this gets a little better over time, but the results already look really promising - did you like it? Reply to this email and let us know.
