🤖 Tech Tuesday: ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini—Which One Should You Actually Use?
The honest answer? It matters way less than you think. Here's how to stop researching and start using. I get this question constantly. And I'm going to give you a real answer—not a diplomatic "they're all great!" non-answer. Here's what I actually use and why: 🥇 Claude is my go-to for almost everything. Writing, brainstorming, strategy, thinking through problems, drafting emails, creating content. It feels like talking to a thoughtful colleague, not a robot. The responses are more nuanced, it handles longer projects better, and it doesn't try to be clever—it just helps. I'm in Claude daily. 🥈 ChatGPT is what I use for building custom GPTs—those are the AI tools inside the Timebender classroom that walk you through specific frameworks step-by-step. Now, you can do something similar with Claude's Projects feature. But here's why I use GPTs: I can create a link and share it with anyone. You click it, you're in, it works. That shareability is why the classroom tools are built there. 💩 Gemini... I've experimented with it. My honest opinion? It requires way more hand-holding and context than any other LLM. It frequently goes rogue—ignoring instructions, veering off in weird directions. And the output quality just doesn't match Claude. I keep giving it chances and it keeps disappointing me. So here's my actual recommendation: Start with Claude for your daily thinking and writing. It's the best at being genuinely helpful without you having to babysit it. If you eventually want to build shareable tools that guide people through a specific process, explore ChatGPT's GPT builder. That's it. That's the whole strategy. You don't need to test all three . You don't need to watch comparison videos. You don't need to optimize. You need to pick one and actually use it until it becomes second nature. The best AI tool is the one you stop overthinking and start using. Here's what I want to know: What's ONE thing you wish AI could help you with in your business, but you haven't figured out how yet?
