Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini — they're all "artificial intelligence," but they're not equal for every task. Just like there's a chef's knife and a paring knife — both are knives, but not interchangeable. Some useful rules of thumb: - Claude (Anthropic): Excellent for writing, long-form content, document analysis, complex instructions. Loves context and improves the more you give it. - ChatGPT (OpenAI): A versatile multi-tool, including code writing, web search, DALL·E for images. - Gemini (Google): Deep integration with Google Workspace — Docs, Sheets, Gmail. Useful if you work heavily with Google tools. The real tip: Don't marry one tool. Try a few for the same task and see who answers you better. Over time you'll develop clear intuition.
