Choose an AI tool based on what you need to do, rather than reaching for the best-known chatbot. Abdul Osama (عبدول أسامة) recommends Claude for writing and planning, Perplexity for search, and Make for connecting work apps, alongside tools for slides, images, voice and coding. ChatGPT is not among his recommended tools in this video.
