AI Writing Battle: The Same Prompt, Four Different Minds
We create a simple prompt for introduction to inform my readers about the world’s top 10 web solution companies. And we put this same prompt in four AI Writing Tools.
The Prompt
“ Write a short, attention-grabbing message (under 50 words) to inform readers about the top 10 web solution companies in the world. Use a friendly, authoritative tone and make it intriguing enough to encourage a click or read-through. Focus on value, innovation, or why these companies stand out.”
ChatGPT (GPT-4o – OpenAI)
ChatGPT is OpenAI’s most popular and widely trusted AI chatbot. It’s used by millions every day — from students to CEOs — and is known for sounding natural, friendly, and smart. With its newest version, GPT-4o, it’s faster, more conversational, and often feels like chatting with a real assistant. It’s also the go-to AI for creative writing and short-form content.
For this prompt, ChatGPT gave us a message that flows beautifully. It starts with a strong headline, highlights innovation, and ends with a click-worthy teaser(hook → value → CTA). The tone was just right — confident but friendly. It felt natural, not forced.
The only downside? It slightly went over the 50-word limit. But honestly, it didn’t feel “too long” while reading, which says a lot about its pacing and clarity.
Summary Table For ChatGPT
- Clarity- Clear and very easy to read
- Energy- Medium-High – engaging without being loud
- Structure- Logical and reader-friendly flow
- Tone - Friendly and trustworthy
- Length- Around 60 words – slightly long
- Best For- Blog intros, landing pages, marketing with a human feel
Gemini (Google 1.5 Pro)
Gemini is Google’s advanced AI assistant, created for powerful productivity, research, and content generation. It’s built into Google’s workspace apps and trained on massive search data, giving it an edge in clarity and fact-based content. It tends to respond quickly, with bold statements and confidence, perfect for brands that need energy.
Gemini came in hot! For this prompt, the message starts with energy and ends with a strong push to click(Strong open & close). It talks about value and innovation just like we asked, but the tone leaned a little more “salesy” than we’d like. It’s also too long, going beyond 60 words. Still, it’s a great pick if you want your copy to pop and sound bold.
Summary Table For Gemini
- Clarity- Clear but dense
- Energy- High – bold and attention-grabbing
- Structure- Strong beginning and CTA
- Tone - Slightly too promotional
- Length- ~65 words – noticeably over the limit
- Best For- Ads, lead generation, strong CTA banners
DeepSeek
DeepSeek is a rising AI model developed in China, aimed at competing with top global models. It’s designed for clarity, tech-savvy users, and multi-language support. You’ll often see DeepSeek used in technical or B2B contexts where detail and structure matter most.
Here, for this prompt, DeepSeek gave a very informative and well-written response. It emphasizes innovation and blends tech with business nicely. But it feels more like a corporate press release than a casual marketing message. The tone was heavier, and like the others, it crossed the 50-word limit. Still, if you’re writing for a professional or enterprise audience, it’s a solid choice.
Summary Table For DeepSeek
- Clarity- Very clear, professional language
- Energy-Medium – balanced but not exciting
- Structure- Clean and well-organized
- Tone - Formal and slightly stiff
- Length- ~65 words – noticeably over the limit
- Best For-B2B, enterprise tech, formal content creation
Claude 3 Opus (Anthropic)
Claude is known for thoughtful, structured, and safe AI responses. It’s trained with a focus on ethics, long-form comprehension, and reliability. Professionals trust Claude for its polished tone and smart writing style, especially in business settings.
Claude gave us a sleek and professional message for this prompt. It feels trustworthy, serious, and mature. However, it missed one important thing: a clear CTA. There’s no direct “click here” moment, which made the message feel more like a summary than a hook. Still, it nailed the word count — under 50 words — and would work well for formal audiences.
Summary Table For Claude
- Clarity- Crisp and well-worded
- Energy-Medium-Low – lacks excitement
- Structure- Clean and well-organized
- Tone - Informative but missing a strong CTA
- Length- ~49 words – fits perfectly
- Best For-Executive briefs, corporate blogs, and professional newsletters
Winners For AI Writing Battle
When it comes to balance, ChatGPT (GPT-4o) stands out as the most well-rounded option. Its responses are clear, natural, and inviting—though slightly wordy at times. Still, that extra depth makes it our top choice overall, offering a smooth and approachable reading experience.
On the other hand, Gemini brings the most energy with its punchy and bold tone, though it sometimes feels a bit too much like an advertisement. Claude, while highly professional and polished, comes across as too formal and lacks the friendly appeal readers often look for. DeepSeek delivers the most descriptive content, rich in detail, but its heavier tone can make it feel less accessible.

The Real Test: Which AI Understood ‘Top 10 Web Solution Companies’ Correctly?
You’d think asking “Who are the top 10 web development companies in the world?” would be a simple test for today’s smartest AI tools. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.
We gave this query to ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and DeepSeek, expecting a mostly aligned list of top names. But what we got instead was a mix of overlaps, odd choices, and a few head-scratchers. One name, in particular, stood out across the responses: Toptal.
Now, Toptal is a respected talent marketplace. But is it actually a web development company? That’s where things got interesting.
To verify, we asked all four AIs directly:
“Is Toptal a web development agency?”
Here’s what happened:
- Gemini and Claude gave clear, accurate answers and had already excluded Toptal from their original list.( Top 10)
- DeepSeek admitted the mistake, removed Toptal, and returned a completely revised list, more aligned and accurate.
- ChatGPT, on the other hand, gave a reasoning: it included Toptal due to its role in providing web developers, not being an agency. But when asked again, it adjusted and provided a new list as well.
This was the aha moment. Even top AI tools can misinterpret category vs. service, especially when job roles, platforms, and agencies blur together.
What This Tells Us
- Gemini and Claude performed best for factual accuracy right from the start.
- DeepSeek excelled in detailed correction and re-analysis.
- ChatGPT showed flexibility and transparency — it justified its decision before adapting.
But across all, this prompt proved one thing: AI still needs human-level understanding of context.
Final Thoughts: What Did This AI Battle Really Prove?
This wasn’t just a fun experiment. It was a real-world test of how today’s top AI tools think, interpret, and respond — especially when the lines between terms like agency, platform, and service provider start to blur.
We didn’t throw complicated prompts at them. We used everyday language, the kind that real users type into search bars. And yet, what we saw was:
- Creative brilliance from ChatGPT
- Bold confidence from Gemini
- Deep precision from DeepSeek
- Professional polish from Claude
But we also saw confusion, contradiction, and surprising inconsistencies — even from the most advanced models. When faced with a seemingly simple request like “top web development companies,” each tool showed different reasoning paths, levels of understanding, and response styles.
So what does this mean for you?
- If you’re a writer or marketer, don’t just copy-paste from AI. Fact-check. Think critically.
- If you’re building AI-powered tools or using AI for research, know that context matters more than ever.
- And if you’re just curious about which AI to trust, remember, there is no one-size-fits-all. Each tool has strengths, but also blind spots.
In the end, this test wasn’t about who was perfect, but who was adaptable, truthful, and human-aware. And that’s the true measure of a smart assistant.
The verdict?
AI is powerful, but you are still the editor-in-chief.
