AI tools: Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot 10 guides for UK businesses.

These guides compare the AI tools most UK businesses buy before they build anything: Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Gemini and Perplexity. They cover what each plan costs in pounds, what it includes, the data protection questions, and which suits which kind of team. We use these tools every day and train teams on them. For most small businesses the right first step is a well-chosen subscription and a morning of training, not a custom build.
