> We should ask the LLM the question more than once

For any macOS users, I highly recommend an Alfred workflow so you just press command + space then type 'llm <prompt>' and it opens tabs with the prompt in perplexity, (locally running) deepseek, chatgpt, claude and grok, or whatever other LLMs you want to add.

This approach satisfies Fowler's recommendation of cross referencing LLM responses, but is also very efficient and over time gives you a sense of which LLMs perform better for certain tasks.

What would such a workflow look like? I have Alfred but mainly just use the clipboard feature. I've tried to get into automation but struggled for inspiration. This one seems good!

Are you just opening a browser tab?

Go to the 'Workflows' tab, make a new one with keyword of your choice (e.g. llm), and map it to open these urls in your default browser:

http://localhost:3005/?q={query}

https://www.perplexity.ai/?q={query}

https://x.com/i/grok?text={query}

https://chatgpt.com/?q={query}&model=gpt-5

https://claude.ai/new?q={query}

Modify to your taste. Example: https://github.com/stevecondylios/alfred-workflows/tree/main (you should be able to download the .alfredworkflow file and double click on it to import it straight into alfred, but creating your own shouldn't take long, maybe 5-10 mins if it's your first workflow)

I made something similar that uses alacritty / llm / tmux. The referenced script is also in the repo
