Collection of AI Guides

A morning alert about a product launch wakes you up.

You scan headlines.
You want a concise, sourced summary now.
Which AI do you trust?

What I tested

I ran real queries across seven AIs: ChatGPT, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Kimi, Gemini, Claude, and Grok.
Tests included news summarization, public profile building, buying advice, YouTube curation, academic paper lists, and Reddit pain-point extraction.
For a fast 72-hour news digest on the Sora 2 release, **DeepSeek** won for clarity and concision.
For building a current public profile, **Perplexity** surprised me with depth.
For product comparisons, results split: **ChatGPT**, **Kimi**, and **Grok** each shone in different ways.
For YouTube learning picks, **Perplexity** was best.
For citation-heavy paper lists, no clear winner emerged.

Quick background

Search-focused AIs combine retrieval with language models.
They bridge web evidence and synthesis.
Perplexity and newer tools prioritize citations and timestamps.
OpenAI and similar platforms documented this trend in their blogs and evals.
See Perplexity at perplexity.ai and ChatGPT at chat.openai.com.

Practical takeaways

• Ask targeted prompts.
• Use multiple AIs for cross-checking contradictions.
• Match tool to task: fast news vs. deep profiles vs. reviews.

Analogy time: choosing an AI is like picking a knife for dinner.
Do you need a chef’s knife or a paring knife?
I recently asked ChatGPT for a shopping shortlist.
It returned a usable list within minutes.
But cross-checking with Perplexity found extra live prices.

Looking ahead

Expect more specialized search AIs and clearer citation standards.
What should you do tomorrow?
Try two tools on the same task.
Compare timestamps and links.
Be curious and cautious.
The future looks practical and more evidence-driven.
