EDITOR'S VIEW

What matters in this decision

An AI assistant should be evaluated on task quality, source handling, privacy, administration, and measurable time saved rather than demo novelty.

For Teacher teams, the shortlist gives more weight to operational fit, adoption, integration risk, and total cost than to raw feature count.
