The Quick Answer
- ChatGPT — best all-rounder for most business tasks
- Claude — best for long documents, analysis, and nuanced reasoning

Claude — Anthropic

Strengths: Largest context window — can process very long documents in one session. Excellent at following detailed instructions. Generally more cautious and accurate than ChatGPT for factual tasks.
