Claude vs. ChatGPT: when to use which

This is not a religious debate. Try both tools and compare the output.

| Task | Try first | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | Long careful writing, policies, letters | Claude | Often clear, structured, and calm | | Quick lookups and brainstorming | ChatGPT | Fast and broad | | Long documents | Either, try both | Compare quality and omissions | | Images of notes or reports | ChatGPT | Strong image input on many tiers | | Voice while walking the ward | ChatGPT app | Mature voice experience | | Important draft where you disagree | The other one | A useful second opinion |

For any important draft, run the same prompt in both tools. Pick the better output or combine them after you verify facts and remove unsafe content.
