- Plan a 4-day family road trip to South Dakota with five chatbots and use the best planRecreated promptEvidence: Article or interview
A Tom's Guide writer asked five chatbots to plan a four-day family trip from near Minneapolis to the Black Hills and Badlands, with gas and food stops, meals, lodging and under 1,400 miles in a borrowed minivan. Gemini was best at routing; ChatGPT did worst, with a broken map link and a needless night in the Badlands; Copilot was minimal; Claude was good apart from the route. DeepSeek won by basing the family in Custer State Park and planning every meal, and he followed its plan exactly, calling it a blast.

- Plan a Super Bowl party menu, room layout and halftime games: ChatGPT vs DeepSeekEvidence: Article or interview
A Tom's Guide editor gave ChatGPT and DeepSeek three prompts for a 15-person Super Bowl party: menu with quantities and prep timeline, living-room layout, and halftime games. She found ChatGPT strongest on precise portions, timelines and organised lists (U-shaped seating, TV at 42-48 inches, commercial bingo), while DeepSeek offered more creative ideas and better dietary alternatives and traffic-flow tips, though some suggestions like three charcuterie boards felt like overkill.
