Long-Form Article on AI Tool Positioning

Long-form explainer article for Medium — a 7-minute read reframing how to use two AI tools most people treat as interchangeable, built around an original mental model (Hunter vs Architect) that made the piece shareable.

The brief: Write a counterintuitive take on Perplexity vs ChatGPT that gives readers a lasting mental model — not just a feature comparison. Target audience: knowledge workers, freelancers, and founders already paying for AI subscriptions.

What I delivered: A 2,500-word structured argument with original framework, five distinct use-case sections, a practical workflow, and honest coverage of where the tool breaks down. Written to rank for AI tool comparison queries and retain readers past the 30-second drop-off point.
