ChatGPT: the all-rounder

The largest user base and the broadest feature set — writing, Q&A, coding, images, voice and more. Good if you want one tool for most things.

Claude: strong at long text and writing

Well regarded by many users for understanding long documents, expressive writing and coding. Good if you often work with long articles, reports or code.

Gemini: tied into Google's ecosystem

Works closely with Google Search, mail, documents and other products. Good if you already rely heavily on Google services.

Grok: real-time and direct

Connected to X (formerly Twitter) and notable for real-time topics, with a relatively direct answering style.

  • Only one, and not sure: start with ChatGPT.
  • Mainly writing, long documents, coding: look at Claude.
  • Heavy Google user: look at Gemini.
