How I use Claude.

I lean on it for long documents and code that has to hold together.

Where I reach for it first

Long documents and code with a lot of moving parts. It answers a quick question perfectly well, I just get the most out of it on the longer work.

Made by Anthropic

None of this is a boundary. Every model here has written code, drafted copy, answered questions and been asked for an image. What follows is where each one has an edge, not what it is allowed to do.

Claude

I lean on it for long documents and code that has to hold together.

Where it has an edge

  • Long briefs, specs and reports
  • Code that touches several files
  • Writing that has to sound like a person
  • Reading a screenshot or a PDF and telling me what matters

How I prompt it

I give it the job, who will read the result, and the one thing that must not happen. Then I paste a real example of the output I want. Claude follows structure well, so a short outline beats a long list of rules. When it gets something wrong, I point at the exact sentence instead of rewriting the whole prompt.

Images

Claude reads images but does not make them. I use it to look at a screenshot or a layout and tell me what is broken, not to produce artwork.

Where it slips

It can hedge, and it will write three paragraphs where one would do. Both are fixable with a tighter prompt, but you have to notice.

The rest of the set

What I use alongside it

Not instead of it. Most projects end up using two or three of these together, because each one covers a different weak spot in the others.

Gemini

Long context, the Google stack, and a quick image when I need one.

How I use it

ChatGPT

The generalist I reach for first, and the easiest one to edit an image with.

How I use it

DeepSeek

Serious reasoning and code for pennies, as long as the data is not sensitive.

How I use it

Grok

The one with live access to what people are saying right now.

How I use it

Ollama

Models running on your own machine, with nothing leaving the room.

Tell me what your team does by hand every week. I'll tell you honestly whether an agent is the right answer, what it would take, and roughly what it costs to run.
