I know there are free ones and paid versions; I’d be willing to try out a paid version if it seemed like a reasonable cost. I also know there are lots of different AIs (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity).

Does anyone have experience using any of these platforms? Any particular recommendations? I’m just dipping my toes in but I’m hoping it might be useful as we are starting out. DC and I are both feeling a bit overwhelmed.
