In an era when digital subscriptions multiply quietly and the cost of staying current accumulates without ceremony, a discounted bundle invites a moment of reflection: how many tools does one person truly need to think well? ChatOn AI Assistant, available in Australia at A$98 for three years, offers a single interface drawing on multiple AI models — GPT, Gemini, Claude, and others — as a practical answer to the fragmentation that has come to define modern knowledge work. The offer is finite, the question it raises is not.
