The Experiment Approach

Here’s something most users don’t realize: you can generate the same document with different AI engines and compare.
  1. Generate with your first choice
  2. Generate again with a different engine
  3. Compare the outputs
  4. Pick the one that fits your needs (or combine the best parts)
This is especially valuable for high-stakes documents where the writing style matters.

When to Try a Different Engine

Switch engines when:
  • The output feels too formal (try Grok)
  • The output lacks depth (try Gemini or Claude)
  • You need more citations (try Perplexity)
  • The structure feels messy (try GPT-5.2)
  • The tone feels robotic (try Grok or Claude)

Tips

  • There’s no universally “best” engine. It depends on your document’s purpose and audience.
  • Your preference may differ from the recommendations - experiment to find what works for you.
  • For internal documents where speed matters more than polish, any engine works fine.
  • For client-facing or public documents, spend the extra minute trying 2 engines.
