I got a free month of ChatGPT and it was pretty good, but I like Claude much better. It’s much better at analysis, better at insights, better at writing, and it’s really pleasant to work with. I also have used it to make little apps for my computer, something. I have to explore more.
The negative is it has been down a lot lately, and it has had trouble keeping files in its repository available for use with projects. I had to have it help me develop a project prompt so that every time I ask it for an analysis, it checks the integrity of the files beforehand to make sure they are complete, and even present. So far so good on that, but be aware. I think it’s worth it for you to risk $20 to try it for a month.
