After a lot of trial and error, I think I've finally found a simple fix. I wanted to share it in case it's helpful for anyone else (it should cost less than $10/m):
Here's the simple guide:
- First, create a quick Google Sheet with 5 columns: "Question," "ChatGPT," "Claude," "Gemini," "Winner + Why."
- Next, whenever you get conflicting answers, paste all three responses and mark which one was actually right or most useful.
- Finally, after 2 weeks, you'll start seeing clear patterns—like "Claude wins for creative writing," "GPT wins for code debugging," "Gemini wins for research summaries."
The problem I kept hitting: asking ChatGPT something, not loving the answer, asking Claude the same thing, getting a different answer, then asking Gemini, and having NO SYSTEM to remember which one was actually better.
Wasted hours re-testing the same questions because I had no memory of what worked last time.
This tiny tracker changed everything. Now I just check the sheet before I even ask—saves me from the "which AI should I use?" paralysis.
Anybody have thoughts on this?
I really hope this helps save someone the headache! 🙏 Happy to chat more if you need a walkthrough. Thanks!
