Not all AI chatbots are created equal, especially for business professionals! In this video, I break down the best AI assistants and rank them based on their real-world capabilities. This isn’t about which AI is the smartest, it’s about which ones actually help you get work done efficiently.
🚀 What’s in this Tier List?
✅ A & B Tiers: AI tools that integrate directly with your work in real time (Zoom AI, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini)
✅ C & D Tiers: Great chatbots, but they require copy-pasting or file uploads to see your work (ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek)
✅ Honorable Mentions: AI-driven business tools that don’t quite fit the “conversational assistant” category (Cisco AI, RingCentral AI)
✅ S Tier: No AI assistant qualifies yet! To reach S Tier, an AI needs to be a unified assistant that follows the conversation seamlessly between apps. Right now, switching from Copilot in Word to Copilot in Outlook means starting over. Once an AI truly remembers and connects across all your work apps, it’ll earn S Tier status.
💡 What do you think? Would you rank them differently? Did I miss any? Let me know in the comments!
