Say the job
Start with the task, not a vague request. “Draft a two-paragraph client update” beats “make this better”.
AI Support
Make AI useful at work without the jargon.
A practical setup and adoption guide for Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. The names, buttons and account settings differ, but the useful habits are mostly the same.
Same basics, different buttons
Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini all need the same core habits: clear task, useful context, preferred output shape, and a human check before use.
CopilotChatGPTClaudeGemini
Practical flow: choose the assistant, set safe habits, use the helper tools, then train the team on real work.

Start with the work, then choose the assistant.
The mistake most teams make is comparing AI tools in the abstract. A better path is to pick one or two real jobs: summarising meetings, drafting client replies, making a report clearer, checking options, or turning notes into actions.
Give the source
Paste or attach the facts it should use. Ask it to flag missing information instead of guessing.
Set the shape
Tell it whether you want bullets, a table, an email, a checklist, a decision brief, or a first draft.
Check before using
Treat the output as a helpful draft. Check facts, tone, private information, and anything customer-facing.
Quick assistant picker
Answer six plain-English questions. Nothing is stored server-side; the recommendation is calculated in your browser.
Current fit
Pick answers to see a practical starting point.
Choose your assistant
The concepts overlap. The practical difference is where your work already lives.
