The Best AI Chatbots

1. ChatGPT

ChatGPT is still the benchmark for consumer AI tools, and 2025 brought some big upgrades. The release of GPT-4o (Omni) in May introduced a major step forward: it’s faster, smarter, and can process text, images, and audio seamlessly. You can now use it for everything from drafting complex documents to analyzing screenshots or even talking with it in real time.

Whether you're writing content, brainstorming ideas, managing projects, learning new topics, or translating languages, 4o handles it with better reasoning and faster responses.

GPT-4o-1: For Precision Tasks

While 4o is the new general-purpose model, GPT-4o-1 is optimized for accuracy and step-by-step reasoning. It’s especially helpful when:

Solving detailed or structured problems (e.g. planning budgets, formatting data)
Analyzing or organizing complex content
Debugging not just code, but logic in workflows, documents, and plans

It’s not just for tech users—anyone needing clarity, structure, or process thinking will benefit.

Operators: AI That Gets Things Done (Mostly)

Operators, introduced in 2025, act like AI assistants with access to tools, think booking travel, making dinner reservations, or organizing your weekend. They’re still improving and can occasionally stall mid-task, but the idea is promising for personal productivity.

Available only to Pro users, Operators are part of OpenAI’s push toward more proactive AI agents.

Tip: The free plan is fine for light use. But if you're working regularly with AI, whether for writing, operations, learning, or strategy, the Plus or Team plan is a better experience across the board.

2. Claude

Claude, developed by Anthropic, has become a strong alternative to ChatGPT, especially for users who value clarity, structure, and long-context reasoning. The latest flagship model, Claude 3 Opus, launched in March 2025, handles up to 200K tokens of context, ideal for reviewing long documents, conducting deep research, or managing multi-step tasks without losing track.

It shines in use cases like:

Summarizing dense material (legal docs, technical manuals)
Writing with a natural, consistent tone
Strategic planning or brainstorming
Interpreting and cross-referencing large datasets or conversations

Claude’s tone is generally thoughtful and measured, great for users who prefer a more cautious, explanatory AI assistant.

Claude 3 Family

Haiku: Lightweight, fast, and free—good for quick tasks and short-form content.
Sonnet: Middle-tier option used widely in apps like Notion and Slack.
Opus: Anthropic’s most powerful model. Excellent at reasoning, multilingual understanding, and structured thinking.

All models share the same core architecture and safety principles, with Opus offering the deepest capabilities.

Tip: Claude excels at understanding nuance and keeping structure over long conversations or documents. If you often work with detailed materials (reports, research, legal docs), Claude Pro or Team is well worth it.

We find it useful for helping us explain some of the more advanced AI technology around face swap and video editing.

3. Gemini

Gemini 1.5 Pro is Google’s flagship model, now available in products like Gmail, Docs, and the standalone Gemini app. It supports up to 1 million tokens in some versions—ideal for heavy research and multi-document analysis. Integrated tightly with Google Workspace.

Free & paid tiers (via Google One AI Premium at $20/month).
