Which wins for PMs

Two Adopt-rated generalists that split on one axis. ChatGPT is the broader do-everything default; Claude pulls ahead the moment you paste in a 30-page doc or a messy transcript and need clean, structured writing back. Most PMs keep ChatGPT as the daily driver and reach for Claude on heavy reading and synthesis — so the honest answer is both, with Claude the specialist for long-context work.
