ChatGPT Alternatives
ChatGPT is the default. Here are the tools worth considering alongside it.
ChatGPT is the most recognized name in AI assistants, and for good reason -- it's versatile, well-supported, and constantly updated. But it isn't the only option, and depending on what you need, another tool might fit better: stronger reasoning, tighter integration with your existing tools, or a different approach to sourcing answers.
Worth considering
Claude
Long documents, writing, careful reasoning
Strong at following detailed instructions and handling large amounts of text in a single conversation
Gemini
Google Workspace users
Built directly into Gmail, Docs, and Sheets, so it fits naturally if your team already lives in Google's tools
Perplexity
Research with sources
Answers come with citations built in, closer to a search engine than a general assistant
Microsoft Copilot
Microsoft 365 users
Embedded across Word, Excel, and Outlook, useful if your company runs on Microsoft's stack
NotebookLM
Working from your own documents
Built around a set of sources you upload, keeping answers grounded in your own material rather than the open web
