The platforms tested include Google Bard, Bing Chat Balanced (focused on “informative and friendly” results), Bing Chat Creative (aiming for “imaginative” outcomes), ChatGPT (utilizing GPT-4), and Claude Pro. The study aims to evaluate their effectiveness across 44 different queries in various categories, using a revised approach to measuring results.
Bard, enhanced by Gemini, emerges as a strong contender, achieving the best overall scores across all queries. Notably, it excels in local searches, earning perfect scores for two of them.

On the positive side, Bing platforms stand out in providing citations and additional resources for follow-on reading, offering valuable information to users. However, Bard’s occasional shortcomings in this aspect are highlighted as a disappointment.
ChatGPT faces challenges in queries related to current events, webpages, and local searches. Ani suggests that installing the MixerBox WebSearchG plugin significantly enhances ChatGPT’s performance in accessing current information and live webpages.
Claude, while lagging slightly behind in the overall scores, demonstrates strengths in handling queries related to article outlines, accepting larger prompts, and providing more in-depth responses. The study acknowledges that Claude might be the best platform for certain classes of work.
