Claude vs ChatGPT - Practical AI Skills & Platform Comparison Made Easy

Overview:

Option 1 - Platform Comparison and Decision Focus: This 90-minute masterclass gives professionals a clear, structured basis for comparing Claude and ChatGPT across the areas that matter most in real business use.

You begin by understanding what each platform is, who builds it, and how fundamental differences in design philosophy and safety approach affect the outputs each tool produces.

The session then moves through side-by-side comparisons of plans and costs, interface layout, knowledge currency, real-time web access, accuracy and hallucination behaviour, and how each platform responds to the same prompt.

You also explore file handling, projects and memory, custom instructions, and the range of outputs each platform can produce, so you can assess fit against your own workflows.

Ray demonstrates prompting and documentation discipline that applies equally to both tools, giving you a reusable method for whichever platform you choose or continue to use.

Key Benefits:

• Understand the real differences between Claude and ChatGPT across plans, accuracy, prompting and outputs
• Compare both platforms across file handling, memory, custom instructions and document generation
• Leave with a practical framework for choosing the right AI platform for your specific work

Option 2 - Practical AI Productivity and Skills Focus: This session is designed for professionals who are already using one AI platform and want to understand whether Claude or ChatGPT is the better fit for their day-to-day tasks.

You work through both platforms in parallel, comparing how each handles prompts, processes uploaded files, manages conversation memory and generates business-ready outputs.

The session covers custom instructions and personalisation settings in both tools, showing how each platform remembers context, applies preferences and adapts responses across sessions.

Practical demonstrations show how prompting strategy differs between Claude and ChatGPT, and how to document useful responses in both platforms so high-value outputs can be reused and refined.

You leave with a clear view of where each platform excels, where its limits sit, and how to get better results from whichever tool you use going forward.

Key Benefits:

• Compare Claude and ChatGPT in practical use across prompting, file handling and output generation
• Understand how custom instructions, memory and personalisation work differently across both platforms
• Build a documented prompt reference that works across both Claude and ChatGPT for consistent results

Option 3 - AI Platform Evaluation and Workflow Fit Focus: This masterclass gives professionals a grounded, evidence-based way to evaluate Claude and ChatGPT against the specific demands of their own work, rather than relying on general opinion or marketing claims.

You explore both platforms across a consistent set of evaluation criteria including cost, interface, knowledge currency, accuracy, file handling, memory, output types and prompt behaviour.

Examples draw on common professional tasks such as document drafting, data interpretation, research support and report generation, showing where each platform performs strongly and where human review remains essential.

The session also addresses governance by showing how to record and reuse prompts and responses in a structured way, helping individuals and teams build a reliable AI workflow regardless of which platform they favour.

By the end of the session, attendees have a practical, tested basis for deciding how to use Claude, ChatGPT or both in a controlled and productive way.

Key Benefits:

• Evaluate Claude and ChatGPT against consistent criteria tied to real professional tasks and workflows
• Understand where each platform is strongest and where judgment and review remain essential
• Build a reusable prompt and response documentation method that applies to both platforms
