The 5 AIs at a Glance

AIBest ForThink of it as…
GrokReal-time trends, social sentiment, current eventsYour finger on the pulse
PerplexityResearch, sources, fact-checking, dataYour research librarian
GPT-5.2Logic, code, structure, technical precisionYour technical architect
ClaudeAnalysis, writing, nuance, ethical thinkingYour thoughtful advisor
GeminiLarge documents, big picture, comprehensive synthesisYour big-picture strategist

Detailed Strengths

Grok (@Grok)

Excels at:
  • What’s happening right now on social media
  • Public sentiment about brands, products, or events
  • Trending topics and emerging conversations
  • Direct, no-nonsense answers
  • Current events context
Example prompts:
  • “What are people saying about [Company] on X this week?”
  • “What’s the current sentiment around remote work policies?”
  • “Any trending discussions about AI regulation today?”
  • “What’s the public reaction to [recent event]?”

Perplexity (@Perplexity)

Excels at:
  • Finding recent data and statistics
  • Providing cited sources
  • Academic and professional research
  • Fact-checking claims from other AIs
  • Market data and industry reports
Example prompts:
  • “Find recent studies on the effectiveness of 4-day work weeks with citations”
  • “What’s the current market size for AI writing tools? Include sources.”
  • “Fact-check: Is it true that remote workers are 13% more productive?”
  • “Find the latest data on SaaS churn rates by industry”

GPT-5.2 (@GPT)

Excels at:
  • Code generation and review
  • Data modeling and system design
  • Logical reasoning and structured analysis
  • Mathematical and quantitative tasks
  • Creating frameworks, taxonomies, and decision trees
Example prompts:
  • “Build a data model for a multi-tenant subscription system”
  • “Create a decision framework for evaluating vendors”
  • “Write a Python script that parses this API response”
  • “Structure this problem as a decision tree with probabilities”

Claude (@Claude)

Excels at:
  • Nuanced analysis that considers multiple perspectives
  • Clear, well-structured writing
  • Identifying ethical implications and edge cases
  • Summarizing complex arguments fairly
  • Catching things others miss - the “but what about…” factor
Example prompts:
  • “Review this proposal and identify potential blind spots”
  • “What are the ethical implications of this approach?”
  • “Rewrite this paragraph to be more persuasive without being manipulative”
  • “What’s the strongest counterargument to our strategy?”

Gemini (@Gemini)

Excels at:
  • Processing and synthesizing large amounts of information
  • Connecting themes across a long conversation
  • Comprehensive overviews and summaries
  • Working with uploaded documents (large context window)
  • Seeing patterns across multiple data points
Example prompts:
  • “Summarize the key themes from this 80-page document”
  • “How do all the points from our discussion connect to each other?”
  • “What patterns do you see across these five competitor analyses?”
  • “Give me a comprehensive overview of everything we’ve discussed”

Common Scenarios

ScenarioRecommendedWhy
”Is this a good idea?”All 5 (no @mention)You want diverse perspectives
”What’s trending in my industry?”@GrokReal-time social awareness
”Find data to support this claim”@PerplexityResearch with citations
”Review my code”@GPTTechnical precision
”Write a compelling email”@ClaudeNuanced, clear writing
”Summarize this long document”@GeminiLarge context handling
”Check if this is factually accurate”@PerplexitySource verification
”What could go wrong?”@Claude or All 5Edge case thinking
”Build a spreadsheet model”@GPTQuantitative structure
”What’s the public reaction to X?”@GrokSocial sentiment

The “When in Doubt” Rule

Not sure which AI to pick? Don’t pick. Let all 5 respond. After a full-team round, you’ll see which AI gave the most relevant response. @mention that one for your follow-up. Over time, you’ll develop intuition for which AI to call on first.

Combining Strengths

The most powerful approach: assign complementary tasks to different AIs.
@Perplexity - Find the data on market size and growth rates
@Grok - What's the current narrative about this market on social?
@Claude - Analyze the strategic implications of what they found
@GPT - Structure everything into a framework we can present
Four distinct strengths, one comprehensive answer.

Tips

  • These strengths are tendencies, not hard rules. Every AI can do most tasks.
  • The value of multi-AI isn’t picking the “right” one - it’s getting perspectives you wouldn’t have thought to ask for.
  • When an AI surprises you (Claude writes great code, GPT catches a nuance), lean into it.
  • Your personal experience will refine this guide. Everyone develops their own preferences.
