Swipe or scroll sideways for all 8 slides. The whole guide is written out below. ## The guide in text A client reminder email and a table of this week’s tasks, for a made-up insurance agency. What differed, and how to choose. ## Step by step 1. ### Paste the same words into each A fair test: one task, word for word. In the lesson, all four did the job. The differences were mostly style. 2. ### Claude added a tip you didn’t ask for Claude added where to find the VIN. Helpful, but it’s extra, so check it before you rely on it. 3. ### Gemini added your title and phone number Gemini put a job title and phone number under the signature. If it first asks to connect Gmail, you can say no thanks and ask it to answer in the chat. 4. ### Copilot gave the shortest email On a work account, the Work badge means Copilot can use your company’s files and email, if your company allows it. The second message matters more than the brand. 5. ### Score the answers on facts For each answer, check the date and the VIN request, the phone number, and five rows in the right order. Then pick the one you can use at work. ## Use the one your company pays for and allows - Your company data stays under its rules. - On Microsoft 365, that is Copilot Chat. On Google Workspace, that is Gemini. - At home, try the free plans and keep the one you like. Businesses and people in the examples are made up (Ridgeline Insurance Agency is a made-up business). The steps, screens and wording come from the free lesson and the Stepthrough glossary and prompt library. ## Do it yourself, free **Same Task, Four Assistants: ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini vs Copilot**.
