You've learned about AI models and applications. But how do the big names like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude actually fit into project management workflows?

Each major AI assistant runs on specific "engine" models, and understanding this ecosystem helps you choose the right tool for your project management needs.

Which AI assistant have you used for project planning or management tasks?

ChatGPT, made by OpenAI, is increasingly popular among project managers. But here's the secret - it's powered by different versions of GPT models!

GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and newer versions like GPT-4o are the actual "brains" inside. ChatGPT is just the friendly interface wrapped around them for project conversations.

Did you know ChatGPT can switch between different GPT versions for better project planning and risk analysis?

Google's Gemini (formerly Bard) works the same way for project management tasks. It's powered by Google's own model family - also called Gemini!

They have Nano (for quick updates), Pro (balanced planning), Ultra (complex schedules), and Flash (rapid status reports). Each serves different project management purposes.

Have you noticed Gemini integrated into Google Workspace or project collaboration tools?

Claude, created by Anthropic, follows a poetic naming pattern for project work. Its models are Haiku (fast updates), Sonnet (balanced management), and Opus (complex project analysis).

Claude excels at document reviews and can analyze entire project portfolios - up to 200,000 words of project documentation!

What would you use an AI for - quick status updates or comprehensive project analysis?

Here's something cool for project managers - these companies can upgrade the "engine" without changing the interface!

ChatGPT might upgrade from GPT-4 to GPT-4.5, keeping the same chat interface but with better project insights. Most AI tools have a dropdown that lets you switch the model.
