How to use the AI test

The AI test is built for quick everyday decisions. It combines your answers with today’s benchmark, where over 350 AI models are evaluated before the strongest options are presented. The goal is not to lock you to one provider, but to give you a practical shortlist: best choice, best free option and lowest-cost good alternative.

Use the recommendation as a shortlist. If language quality, price or speed matters most, open the benchmark as well and compare the current results. hvilkenAI is independent and has no commercial ties to the AI providers we test.

When the test is most useful

Use the AI test when you want to choose a tool without reading the full benchmark first. It works best when you have a concrete task and want to know what to try now.

Choose your first AI tool

Get a safe starting point if you do not use AI today. The test highlights free options first, so you can try without a subscription.

Check whether to switch

If you already use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or Perplexity, you get advice on whether to stay, supplement or try something else.

Find the right balance

Some tasks need the best quality. Others need low cost, speed or strong Nordic-language handling. The test shows the trade-off without locking you to one provider.
