Top AI Chatbots: ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini & More!

About this video

Kevin Stratvert compares major AI chatbots available at the time of the video. ChatGPT by OpenAI is described as a popular, versatile ‘Swiss Army knife’ that can write emails, brainstorm, answer questions, and code, with GPT-4o making it faster; features covered include Canvas for side-by-side editing of long-form text, multimodal image and PDF uploads, reasoning models, image generation, live web search with sources, and, on ChatGPT Plus, more powerful models, faster responses, custom GPTs, projects, memory, and video generation. In a partnered segment, Zapier’s free AI chatbot tool is shown for building a custom chatbot trained on your own website, documents, or Zapier Tables, customizable in personality, colors, and logo, with conversation logic for lead collection, shareable by URL or website embed and connected to thousands of apps via Zaps. Claude by Anthropic is praised for a natural, thoughtful, mentor-like tone, customizable writing styles from samples, and strong coding teaching with interactive examples, but noted as unable to generate images or browse the internet and subject to plan message limits. Microsoft Copilot is shown integrated across Windows, Word, PowerPoint, Teams, Edge, and Microsoft 365 apps to summarize and draft in Outlook, rewrite in Word, and analyze and visualize data and build formulas like VLOOKUP in Excel. Google Gemini, formerly Bard, is highlighted for integration with Search, Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and YouTube, real-time citations with a double-check feature, image data extraction, illustration generation, and @-mentions to pull in Gmail, Drive, or Calendar. Finally, DeepSeek is presented as a free, open-source model from China that is fast and strong at chain-of-thought reasoning, math, and code, cheaper to run than ChatGPT per the presenter, but sometimes slower to respond, with a basic interface and a privacy note that it is hosted in China, though it can also be run locally.
