Meet the AI Helpers
Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini — siblings, not the same.
Explorers · Explorers · ~11 min read
You’ve probably heard of ChatGPT. Maybe your parents use one called Claude. Or one called Gemini. They all answer questions. But they’re not the same.
Who made which?
- Claude was made by a company called Anthropic. Anthropic cares a lot about safety and writes down rules their AI tries to follow.
- ChatGPT was made by OpenAI. It’s the most famous one and has the most features.
- Gemini was made by Google. It’s good at looking things up and works inside Google apps.
They’re like siblings
Imagine three kids in the same family. They go to the same school. They eat the same dinners. But one is sporty, one is bookish, one is the jokester. That’s how these AI helpers are. Same big idea. Different personalities.
When would you use each?
- Writing a story? Claude is really good at that.
- Doing a math problem? ChatGPT is strong.
- Looking something up? Gemini’s your friend.
Remember
Never tell any of them your last name, your address, your school, or your password. That rule is always on.
