Why it matters
Here's something I learned the hard way: the best AI tool isn't the one with the most features. It's the one that explains what it's doing. When I first started coding with AI assistants, I'd get suggestions that looked correct but fell apart the moment I tested them. Claude was the first tool that walked me through the reasoning — not just the answer, but how it arrived there. That changed how I work.
For for freelancers, the same rule applies. You want a tool that gives you a workflow, not just a result. Something you can repeat, debug, and improve over time — not a black box you have to trust.

What works, what doesn't
Works well: Tasks with clear inputs and well-defined output formats. Repetitive work where you have an example to point to.
Less effective: Open-ended creative work without examples. Tasks needing real-time data. Decisions that need human judgment.
