With so many AI choices out there, it is difficult to select one which will effectively support the task at hand. Professor Ethan Mollick who was a very early adopter of Gen AI in the higher education sector, provides an overview of AI as they stand near the end of 2025.
The blog compares Gemini, Claude and ChatGPT and their uses in an academic context. The various categories of chat, agent and wizard models are compared. Inputs of text, voice and images along with outcome in images, video, code and documents are also discussed and evaluated.
As always, there is not one Gen AI platform which will 'do it all' or do all well. Therefore, it is still important to match the objective / end goal, with the Gen AI. As Gen AI develops rapidly, it is also important to keep up with the play. For example, we have been encouraged to use CoPilot at my institute. To start with, CoPilot did not really compete well with the other mainstays - ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. However, CoPilot has improved markedly and is now integrated into the many Microsoft tools we use daily. The M365 version of CoPilot provides ability to create agents and also a range of agents which are useful for common everyday tasks. Paying extra includes the research and analyst agents. These two agents are extremely useful not only for research but for general tasks requiring inquiry, comparisons and deeper evaluation. Therefore, it is important to keep up with the play!!
