I tried ChatGPT and Claude as my Android assistant; here's how they compare to Gemini

Google has fully replaced Google Assistant with Gemini. But it's not your only option. Android now lets you set other AI apps, like ChatGPT and Claude, as your default assistant. If you pay for either, it's tempting to use it everywhere. I made each one my default assistant and gave it the same everyday tasks: alarms, texts, calendar events, directions, quick math, and a few longer conversations. I got some interesting results. To switch assistants on your Samsung Galaxy, go to Settings > Apps > Choose default apps > Digital assistant app. You can also assign it to the side key under Settings > Advanced features > Side button > Long press.
