How I use AI as a second brain

This is the start of a conversation I had with an AI to think through the design of changes I’m making to Lokka.

So far I’ve been mostly using GitHub Copilot and others to do specific tasks but I’m now starting to have design discussions and conversations to look for areas that I might be missing (or to play devils advocate).

I also pitted the LLMs against each other. Here’s a comparison.

Claude provided a nice clean summary while GitHub Copilot is not just for code, it’s great for design thinking too.

The last one I tried was Google Gemini’s Deep Research which looked up over 190+ sites including Microsoft docs, LLM docs to provide a complete four page report. Very impressive.
