🟢 1. Emotional processing & thinking clearly
Your core lane
ChatGPT
Best for:
• naming feelings
• journaling out loud
• working through intrusive thoughts
• preparing hard conversations
• faith-adjacent reflection (when prompted well)
Why moms love it:
It meets you where you are; tired, overwhelmed, unclear — and slows your thinking instead of speeding it up.
🟢 This is your anchor tool.
🟡 2. Writing help
Blogs, emails, captions
Claude
Best for:
• longer writing
• thoughtful tone
• soft, emotionally aware drafts
Why it’s helpful:
Claude tends to sound more gentle and reflective out of the box; great for blogs, letters, or sensitive topics.
🟡 Good alternative to mention for writing-heavy moms.

• family systems
• weekly planning

Perplexity
