Day 8: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Others

Day 8 of 2815 minGoal - Learn - Example - Practice - Checkpoint

Goal

Compare major chatbot assistants by workflow instead of brand loyalty.

Learn

ChatGPT is widely used for general assistance, multimodal work, and a large plugin/app ecosystem. Claude is known for writing, reasoning, long-context work, and careful instruction following. Gemini connects deeply with Google products and multimodal tools. Copilot is strongest inside Microsoft workflows and GitHub coding. Perplexity emphasizes answer search with citations. Mistral's Le Chat and Meta AI show how assistants can vary by openness, deployment, privacy, and ecosystem.

Behind the scenes

AI tools are products wrapped around models, data, prompts, retrieval, safety systems, and user interfaces. The better you understand the wrapper, the better your results get.

Example

Example: in a real workflow, this idea helps you decide how to use AI carefully. For this lesson, connect the goal to one task you already do: compare major chatbot assistants by workflow instead of brand loyalty..

Practice

Make a small comparison table with columns: best for, weak spot, privacy concern, file support, web/search support.

Checkpoint

You can choose an assistant based on task fit, not hype.
