I gave ChatGPT, Claude, and NotebookLM my entire semester — one was built for the way students study

The back-to-school checklist has evolved to include choosing an AI tool to aid in studies. Students now have to decide which AI model to use, with options like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. According to XDA Developers, this new choice is part of the preparations for a new academic year.

ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude have unique strengths that cater to different needs. Dev.to reports that Claude excels in coding and complex logical reasoning tasks, while Gemini dominates multimodal production, including video-to-video editing and generation. ChatGPT, on the other hand, is a versatile general assistant with robust integration and prompt execution.

Developers are also exploring ways to integrate AI tools into their workflows. The New Stack reports that Spline has released a new version of its 3D editor, which allows external coding agents like Claude Code and Google Antigravity to work directly on live scenes. Additionally, Tom's Guide notes that ChatGPT has added a feature that allows it to connect directly to Apple Messages on a Mac, enabling it to search conversations, draft replies, and send messages on behalf of users.
