Gemini Gems vs ChatGPT Custom GPTs vs Claude Skills: The Best AI Setup for Teachers (Save Hours Weekly)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Kane from the Teachers’ AI Cafe explains that teachers often get poor AI results because they rewrite the same prompts instead of building reusable assistants, then compares three customization tools: Gemini Gems, ChatGPT custom GPTs, and Claude Skills. He evaluates them for ease of setup, consistency, and usefulness for lesson planning, resource creation, differentiation, assessment, and daily workload. Gems are the easiest and best for fast, simple repeatable tasks like emails, lesson ideas, and text simplification; custom GPTs take longer but are flexible and consistent for multi-part classroom resources using instructions and uploaded examples; Claude Skills are the most structured and powerful for complex, repeatable workflows but have the steepest learning curve. He recommends starting with one recurring task, refining instructions (including what to avoid), and choosing based on the platform you use.
