Same prompt. Very different personalities.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity can all look like “a box you type into”. That’s where the similarity ends. Pick what you actually need — not the logo your timeline shouts about most.
→ChatGPT
If you only want one AI subscription, start here. Broad, flexible and annoyingly hard to replace.
→Gemini
Gmail, Docs, Android, Chrome, Photos. If you already live there, Gemini gets much more interesting.
→Claude
Long documents, writing, code and messy thinking. Less “look at my features”, more “give me the hard thing”.
→Perplexity
If the sources matter as much as the answer, start here. Research-first rather than chatbot-first.
What are you actually trying to do?
Tap the job. We’ll point you at the sensible starting place.
Want one tool for everything?
Start with ChatGPT. If it annoys you in a specific way, that annoyance usually tells you which competitor to try next.
Research all day?
Use Perplexity. Live in Docs and Gmail? Gemini. Spend your day inside giant documents or codebases? Claude.
