It’s day five of the Golden Kitty Awards 2023. That means it’s finally time to decide on the “it” product of 2023 by casting your vote in the Product of the Year category. This year, we have some heavy hitters vying for that top spot. 

Let’s take a look at some of the products, hoping to be crowned this year’s winner. 

GPT-4: GPT-4 launched in March of last year to a lot of fanfare. It was OpenAI's biggest AI model at the time. Improvements in things like contextualization, speed, and response accuracy made it a massive hit in the AI community. 

Gemini is Google’s answer to GPT-4. It’s relatively new on the scene. It’s the company's largest and most capable AI model yet. It’s currently powering Google’s ChatGPT-alternative, Bard. 

Threads is Instagram’s competitor to X (formerly Twitter). It launched back in July, with a lot of hype behind it. A huge initial surge in users bolstered the team to keep adding features and launch in Europe. 

Arc Max is built by The Browser Company. It’s an AI assistant that supercharges the company’s Arc browser with features like a ChatGPT interface, easier tab organization, and categorizing downloads. It’s been a big year for Arc. The team launched Arc for iPhone and shipped Arc Boosts, a feature to give you greater customization of the sites you visit. 

Notion AI was launched early last year as a suite of features to help you get more done in your day-to-day. You can generate documents, find information with an AI assistant, and more. 

That’s just a taste of some of the amazing products competing to be crowned 2023’s Product of the Year. Voting is wrapping up on Sunday, January 21, at 11:59 pm. Winners will be announced on Tuesday, January 23.
