A general workbench for drafting, coding, and iteration. Strongest when the team already lives in one chat surface and needs speed over ceremony.

FAQ
Q: When should an operator pick ChatGPT over Claude?
When the job is exploration and reuse in one surface. If legal or editorial review is the bottleneck, compare Claude’s revision behavior instead.
Q: Is ChatGPT the cheapest option?
Not something this desk states as fact. Check the vendor price page on the date you buy.
