Claude Code
Anthropic's CLI coding agent. Same Claude models as the chat product, but optimized for autonomous, multi-file refactoring with bash + edit tools. Strongest at large-codebase reasoning.
Microsoft Copilot
Tightest M365 integration (Word, Excel, Teams, Outlook). Free GPT-5 in Bing Chat. Slightly weaker on benchmarks than ChatGPT due to safety tuning.
