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.
ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot? is a two-page Forum3 guide for teams choosing an AI platform. It argues that the useful question is which platform fits the work, systems and habits your team has right now, and gives a quick read on each: ChatGPT as a strong general-purpose choice, Claude for long-form, document-heavy work and file-based tasks in Cowork, and Microsoft Copilot for organizations that already live in Microsoft 365.
The guide offers five questions to ask before comparing features, a 20-minute test that scores one real weekly task on usefulness, accuracy, editing effort, workflow fit and trust, and guidance on whether to use one platform or two.
Readers leave with a way to pick a sensible default without treating it as a permanent decision.
