Pick a chat box, a coding agent, an office helper, or a local model by the job, not the brand name.
- 1 I just want help with writing and questions You want a chat box for drafts, explanations, and questions, not a coding agent. This part names ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok as writing tools, what to try first, and the 20-minute session that stops the four-app screenshot thread.
- 2 I want help coding or building software You want help coding or building software. This part separates a chat-window snippet from Claude Code, ChatGPT Codex, Gemini CLI / Antigravity, and Grok Build, and it tells you when a paste is enough and when an agent in a folder is the actual job.

- 3 I want AI on my files and office work You want AI on files, mail, and office work. This part maps Claude Cowork, ChatGPT Work, Gemini in Workspace, and Grok in Outlook to where the files already live, plus a safe first task that never auto-sends. Scheduled · August 22, 2026
- 4 I care about privacy and running things myself You care about privacy or running things yourself. This part splits closed chat apps, hosted open models, and local runners, and it asks whose account, whose laptop, and whether you would email the file to a vendor before you paste.

- 5 I want images, voice, or live answers You want images, voice, or live answers. This part treats pixels, microphones, and search-ish replies as different surfaces from a writing chat, with a verify-before-you-post checklist for type, links, likeness, and quota so Analtyics Nite never ships.

- 6 Which AI product should I try first A one-breath decision tree for which AI product to open: writing, coding, office files, privacy, or images and live answers. Defaults you can try first, plus the mix-ups that create four subscriptions and no Send. Scheduled · August 25, 2026
