Deep Research: Which AI is the best researcher?

In this live session, Tim Cakir, our CEO, put five top AI research tools to the test using a real business challenge: how to position our 12-week corporate AI training program against competitors like Coursera, Microsoft Learning, and Andrew Ng’s courses.

Using the same detailed prompt, we evaluated each tool—ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, MindStudio, and Gemini— for its ability to deliver competitive analysis, positioning strategy, and messaging recommendations.

The results were telling: MindStudio delivered the most comprehensive output with strong source attribution. Claude offered the most strategic insight by framing AI Operator as an “AI Transformation Partner,” not just a training provider. ChatGPT was well-structured and practical. Perplexity was fast but shallow, and Gemini underperformed.

This session gave a clear, side-by-side view of which tools actually deliver value in serious research workflows.
