In this AI Workshops session, Forum3 AI specialist Kait Smith compares ChatGPT, Claude and Microsoft Copilot, with a focus on how ChatGPT Work and Claude Cowork differ in image generation, local file access and sub-agents. She argues that the better question is what sits underneath both platforms: eight building blocks, namely prompting, context, memory, skills, connectors, scheduled tasks, tool use and computer use.

Kait introduces three systems-thinking rules for building workflows: stage the work, write the rules and show examples. She also advises on running one platform or both, and on using a shared Google Drive or SharePoint folder so project knowledge is not trapped in one tool.

Viewers leave with a framework for choosing and for building workflows on either platform.
