Ethan Mollick's guide to choosing AI tools for agentic work

Ethan Mollick's guide says ChatGPT and Claude are the main choices for real work, since their agent modes can act on a computer. He separates agent modes that run on the company's computers from those that access the user's own computer.

He recommends keeping approval settings on for sending, spending, or deleting, because of prompt injection risk. He also notes that Gemini currently lags for agentic work, though its Notebook and video tools are useful.
