I’ve Been Testing Claude vs Gemini Every Year—Here’s What I Found

Posted

Claude vs Gemini, same messy Word doc, same job: turn my kid's school calendar into a usable one. Here's which AI actually parsed it right.

Every year my kids' school sends a non-standard Word document, and every year I feed the same task to AI to see how much it's improved. This year Claude Cowork read ~70 events, verified them against the real 2026-27 calendar, caught two date typos Gemini missed, and loaded everything into Fantastical over MCP — no ICS export, barely any hand-holding. This whole calendar-first approach is how I protect my time as a solopreneur.
