Which AI tool for which creative job

There is no single best AI tool — there is a best tool per job. Use Claude for long written thinking, ChatGPT for general speed and breadth, Gemini for image editing and grounded research, Midjourney for look and art direction, Higgsfield for motion, Lovable for internal tools, and Workspace for admin.

What it is good at

  • Choosing per job removes most frustration with AI output.
  • A two-tool workflow (one for words, one for images) covers the majority of studio work.

Where it falls short

  • Running everything doubles cost and context switching — pick two and go deep.
  • Models change quickly; re-test your choice every few months.

How to use it for creative work

  1. 01

    Concepts and briefs

    Claude first, ChatGPT second. Both need your own material to sound like you.

  2. 02

    Images of real products

    Gemini, editing from a real photo. Midjourney only for mood.

  3. 03

    Look, mood and campaign feel

    Midjourney, with a style reference for the whole set.

  4. 04

    Motion

    Higgsfield from an approved still; keep clips short.

  5. 05

    Research

    Gemini or ChatGPT with sources and dates demanded in the prompt. Verify anything that affects money.

  6. 06

    Copy at volume

    Claude with a written voice guide, then a human edit pass.

  7. 07

    Admin and data

    Google Workspace, inside the files you already have.

  8. 08

    Internal tools

    Lovable, one narrow tool at a time.
