Which AI tool is right for me? A guide for beginners
From ChatGPT to Midjourney: How to find the right solution for your tasks
The AI landscape is changing rapidly. Just the day before yesterday, Adobe and OpenAI announced a partnership that integrates Photoshop, Express, and Acrobat directly into ChatGPT. Anyone who previously thought they had to learn Photoshop first can now simply tell the chatbot what they want to do with an image. Such developments show that getting started with AI is becoming easier and easier. But that’s precisely why the question arises: Where do I start?
The range of AI tools is growing daily. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Midjourney, Perplexity, and dozens of other names are competing for attention. Many companies feel overwhelmed. The good news is: you don’t have to know everything. You just need to know which tool is right for your tasks.
Three questions before choosing a tool
Before you select a tool, ask yourself three questions: Which tasks should be made easier? Who on the team will use the tools? And how much budget is available? The answers will determine whether you start with a free introduction or invest directly in a professional solution.
For texts and research: The large language models
For texts, research, and everyday tasks, the large language models are the first point of contact. ChatGPT from OpenAI is the best-known all-rounder with the largest user base. Claude from Anthropic is particularly convincing when it comes to long texts and complex analyses. Gemini from Google scores with its seamless integration with Google Workspace. And Perplexity has established itself as a research tool that provides answers with sources.
For images: From photorealistic to artistic
A lot has happened in image generation in recent months. Ideogram is an interesting option, especially if text in images needs to be displayed correctly. Midjourney remains strong in artistic and creative concepts. DALL-E is integrated directly into
For video and content production
For video editing and content production, it is worth taking a look at Adobe Firefly, Runway, and Pika Labs. The Adobe-OpenAI partnership announced the day before yesterday shows where the journey is headed: AI functions are being integrated directly into the tools that professionals are already using. This lowers the barrier to entry and speeds up workflows.
One tool, not five: My most important advice
Start with one tool, not five. Choose a tool that suits your most frequent task and get to know it properly. Only when you have understood the possibilities and limitations should you expand your repertoire. Many fail not because of the technology, but because they want too much at once.
The question is not whether AI will change your work. The question is how you shape this change. With the right tool and a clear plan, AI will transform from abstract hype into concrete productivity gains.
