Use assistants for job-copy, notes and structured administration; keep candidate evaluation, sensitive data and final decisions under qualified human control.

RECOMMENDED WORKING SET

Start with these tools.

01CLText AI

Claude

A strong shortlist candidate for document-heavy work, repeat business coordination and supervised parallel coding. The Projects beta is initially limited to selected Pro and Max accounts; usage, cloud boundaries and merge burden need a same-repository pilot. Independent testing is pending and no HubAI Score is assigned.

Best for
Long documents, careful reasoning, supervised coding projects, governed team collaboration and third-party MCP or skill extensions
Access
Small Business plugin requires a paid plan (supplier fact recorded 26 September 2026). Free Claude access is not a trial of plugin submission, the Small Business plugin, Claude Code Projects or the Team-only initial personal-connector rollout
02CGText AI

ChatGPT

A shortlist candidate for mixed writing, research, coding and image workflows. GPT-6 Intelligent UI is rolling out in Chat: paid tiers use Sol and Free/Go use Luna; Pro reasoning excludes Intelligent UI, and Work/Codex models are unchanged by this release. Check the exact plan, product surface and UK feature availability. The new visual-ad placement has a separate access and measurement boundary; independent same-work testing is pending and no HubAI Score is assigned.

Best for
Everyday work, research, writing, coding and multimodal assistants
Access
Free access has feature limits; GPT-6 Intelligent UI expansion to Free/Go starts 8 October, with individual UK account entitlement unverified. The new visual advertising format is a planned US test, not a UK trial entitlement.
03OTMeeting AI

Otter.ai

A practical meeting memory layer for teams that need searchable transcripts more than a complex revenue-intelligence suite.

Best for
Meeting transcription, searchable notes and action summaries
Access
Current access and plan limits not verified; confirm at the official source.

COMPARE BEFORE YOU COMMIT

Relevant head-to-heads.

General work and long-document reasoningChatGPT vs Claude

Choose ChatGPT for the widest everyday toolkit. Choose Claude when document-heavy reasoning and polished long-form writing dominate the workload.

Compare →All-round AI versus Google-native productivityChatGPT vs Gemini

ChatGPT is the stronger neutral all-rounder; Gemini becomes compelling when Gmail, Docs, Drive and Google-native workflows are central to the organisation.

Compare →Document intelligence versus Workspace integrationClaude vs Gemini

Claude leads for self-contained document work; Gemini is usually the more natural fit for teams whose useful context already lives inside Google Workspace.

Compare →Polished all-round product versus value reasoningChatGPT vs DeepSeek

ChatGPT offers the more complete product experience. DeepSeek can be attractive for price-sensitive reasoning and coding, but organisations should apply stricter governance and vendor-risk checks.
