SIDE BY SIDE

What actually changed?

Historical comparisons with context, rather than a single winner.

Each comparison puts two releases side by side and explains what changed between them: new capabilities, product changes and the limits that still applied. Scores are only shown when a dated public source reports them, and every page links to the original announcements so you can check the details yourself. Comparisons describe the named releases at the time, not how the products work today.

ChatGPT is not the only good AI assistant. Depending on your work, another tool may write better, fit your office apps more closely, show its sources more clearly or simply cost less each month.
