What is Uminal?
Uminal is an AI assistant that combines conversational abilities with web browsing and customisation options. It works like ChatGPT but adds the ability to search the internet in real time and extend its functionality through custom apps and skills. This makes it useful for tasks that require current information or specialised capabilities beyond standard chat. The tool is designed for users who want a more flexible AI assistant that can adapt to their specific workflows and information needs, whether that's research, analysis, or handling domain-specific tasks. Uminal operates on a freemium model, allowing users to try the basic version before deciding whether to upgrade.
