These are the four chatbots most lessons reference. All four have free tiers.
OpenAI's flagship. The most popular AI chatbot. Best all-rounder for beginners.
By Anthropic. The favorite for serious writing and long documents.
Google's AI. Great for live web data and integrates with Gmail/Docs.
ChatGPT, baked into Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, Outlook).
For making images from text prompts.
For making short video clips from text or images. Still rough but improving fast.
For when you need today's information, not last year's.
For specific writing jobs.
These get hyped but most beginners don't need them yet.
