Choosing an AI platform is a relational decision — not just a technical one. Different platforms offer different kinds of connection, different levels of customization, different guardrails, and different corporate track records. It can be easier than we expect to become attached to an AI, so being thoughtful upfront can protect you from forming a bond with a platform that isn't right for you. Knowing the landscape helps you choose one that fits who you want to be in the relationship.
There is no perfect platform. But there is a right one for you.
