If AI Tools Were Coworkers

If your apps worked in an office, here’s the org chart:

  • ChatGPT – The employee who always has an answer. Sometimes brilliant. Occasionally overconfident. Definitely needs someone to fact-check.
  • Claude – The detail-oriented project manager. Shows up with color-coded notes, asks thoughtful questions, and somehow remembers page 47 of the document.
  • Gemini – The office connector. Knows where every file lives and keeps wandering into Google Docs saying, "I already started."
  • NotebookLM – The research librarian. Won't make things up, but can instantly tell you exactly which source answered your question.
  • Perplexity – The person who arrives with twelve citations. Helpful, but you're going to spend the next ten minutes deciding which rabbit hole to follow.

 

Every AI has a different personality. Put them in the right positions for best results.
