What it creates: A structured side-by-side analysis with comparison tables, pros/cons, and a clear recommendation.

When to Use This

  • You’re evaluating options (vendors, technologies, strategies, tools)
  • Stakeholders need a decision-support document with clear trade-offs
  • You want a visual comparison that makes differences obvious
  • You’ve discussed multiple options and need to organize the findings

What You Get

A Comparison Document typically includes:
  • Executive Summary - Quick overview of what’s being compared and the recommendation
  • Comparison Criteria - The dimensions being evaluated
  • Side-by-Side Table - Visual comparison matrix
  • Detailed Analysis - Deeper look at each option per criterion
  • Pros/Cons - Quick-reference lists for each option
  • Recommendation - Which to choose and why (with caveats)

Example

Conversation context: You asked the AIs to compare three project management tools for your team, with follow-ups on pricing, integrations, and scalability. Generated Comparison excerpt:
Comparison Matrix
CriterionLinearJiraNotion
Setup TimeHoursDays-WeeksHours
Learning CurveLowHighMedium
Dev IntegrationExcellentExcellentLimited
Non-Tech AccessGoodPoorExcellent
Price (50 users)$400/mo$750/mo$500/mo
ScalabilityHighVery HighMedium
Recommendation: Linear for engineering-first teams under 200 people. Jira if enterprise compliance is non-negotiable. Notion only if your team is primarily non-technical.

Tips for Best Results

  • In your conversation, explicitly ask AIs to compare specific dimensions
  • Use task assignment: “@Perplexity - find pricing details, @Claude - analyze strengths/weaknesses”
  • Ask follow-up questions about deal-breakers and must-haves
  • The more specific your evaluation criteria, the more useful the comparison
  • Works well after assigning different AIs to research different options

Best AI Engine for This Type
