Rather than memorising dozens of product names, remember categories of use. You then pick the tool that fits the need.
| Need | Type of tool | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Chatting, writing, summarising | Conversational assistant | ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini |
| Creating visuals | Image generator | Midjourney, DALL·E |
| Taking meeting notes | Transcription | Built-in meeting assistants |
| Working in Office or Docs | Productivity assistant | Copilot, Gemini for Workspace |
| Translating | AI translator | DeepL, conversational assistants |
The habit to teach
“What is my need?” comes before “which tool?”. A good trainer helps learners reason by use case rather than collect apps.
Careful: names and features change fast. What matters is the method for choosing, not the list — that will be out of date in six months.
