Most of these tools just use OpenAI or Claude on the back-end, so it comes down to the specific interface they've built more than the fundamental answers and responses they give.
If you're just looking for the leading AI chatbot on the market, you're probably best just going with ChatGPT by OpenAI, as they are the ones leading most of the innovation in the space, plus have the cleanest interface.
The only advantage other tools have are the ability to use multiple different LLM models (like Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini), but it also introduces a bit of fatigue in knowing what models are best for which queries. That's where most people will be best with ChatGPT, especially in building up the knowledge-set that it has on you, as it'll only get bette the more you use it. This can't be said for many others mentioned here.

The AI notepad for people in back-to-back meetings
Granola is a meeting recorder tool that doesn't require those annoying bots to join. In-fact the people you're on the call with don't even have to know you're using it.
Interestingly enough, this isn't any different than just having a note taker on the call, because they don't allow you to playback the audio. What you can do is ask Granola's AI Chatbot questions about the call, or any calls you've had across the company.
We make sure to always have Granola recording our meetings (even in-person team meetings and brainstorming meetings), even if we have one of the best meeting recorder bots joining the call as well. It's just a more lightweight solution that can't be kicked from calls and is less invasive.
Teams of all sizes can use GPT to automate content creation, improve customer interactions, and streamline data analysis.
What really is there to say? Everyone is trying to build a OpenAI (ChatGPT) into their product right now. It's the closest thing we've seen to magic in an incredibly long time.
OpenAI is general artificial intelligence. You can ask it questions, and it'll answer them, like a human. You can ask it to write code for you, and it'll build it, all while explaining the why and how.
Engineering friends of mine are worried that it'll replace their job, and yet they are using it to become a better engineer (using it to teach them different coding languages).
It's amazing as to what will be made possible with it, and the demo video below between Slack + OpenAI + Motion is just a tiny glimpse into where you can see it intelligently improving our every-day processes.
The craziest thing of it all, anyone can use it, and you don't even need to be technical to use it. Just visit ChatGPT here and start asking it questions. You'll be amazed by what it can do. If you're more technical, then be sure to check out the actual API and see where you can fit it into what you're building (I mean everyone else is).
It's like Googling Mid-Sentence: Cluely gives you the answers you didn’t study for in every conversation, without you even having to ask.
Cluely is just another AI chat wrapper as many others. The main differentiation is its ability to persist across calls and actively listen, while supplying recommended questions as the meeting goes on.
To explain this in a more tangible way, in comparing Cluely vs Granola (one of the best meeting recorder tools on the market), Granola ultimately sits in the background recording the call and only presents itself when a meeting is active. It then summarizes the transcript afterward and enriches any notes taken, allowing for perfect recollection of what was said in the conversation. Cluely on the other hand makes itself an active participant in the call.
For example, say you're on a call and the topic of another software product comes up, Cluely will begin recommending information to search that will give you more context without leaving the call:
The reality here is that it's no different than using the ChatGPT desktop app, pressing "CMD + Spacebar" and just writing a question. It's just that it's more preemptive taking the entire context of the call into consideration, and most specifically what was said in that moment to suggest showing information that might be relevant.
What they really do best is marketing via viral and rage-bait tactics. Trying to make their "hidden UI" and proactive prompting come off as being able to "cheat on everything". It's really just a feature decision, and creative messaging more than anything.
