Overview
Not all AI tools perform the same.
Workflow
The author conducted a comparative test of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) to analyze genealogy research notes. The workflow involved uploading CSV files to these models to compile findings into spreadsheets and plans. ChatGPT Agent mode was specifically noted for organizing research into usable documents, while one tool failed completely during the analysis phase.
Reported result
The test revealed significant performance disparities among the tools, with one failing entirely. The author noted that ChatGPT's $20/month plan occasionally required revisiting tasks, whereas the $200/month plan might avoid this. No quantitative metrics on accuracy or time savings were provided, only qualitative observations of failure and capability differences.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Each LLM has strict file size limits for CSV uploads, constraining the volume of data processed in a single session. The author's experience with ChatGPT's standard plan included intermittent failures requiring manual retries. The source is a secondary blog post with comments, lacking rigorous experimental controls or detailed methodology for the 'head-to-head' test.
Try it
Act as a genealogy research assistant. I will provide [replaceable inputs: CSV files of research notes]. Your task is to compile these into a structured spreadsheet and a research plan. First, perform a dry run on one sample file to demonstrate your ability to parse and organize the data. Show me the output format before proceeding. If you encounter file size limits, ask me to split the data. Do not finalize any output until I confirm the structure is correct. If a tool fails, report the error immediately rather than guessing. Use ChatGPT Agent mode if available for better organization. Ensure no external messages or bookings are sent without my explicit approval.
