The big idea
There isn't just one AI — there are many, made by different companies, each better at certain jobs like coding, art, or writing.
Some examples
- ChatGPT is made by OpenAI and is great at chatting.
- Claude is made by Anthropic and is great at long reading tasks.
- Gemini is made by Google and can use Google search.
- Image-making AI like DALL-E or Midjourney makes pictures, not text.
Try it!
