Start with ChatGPT if the main goal is flexible support drafting, FAQ writing, and SOP-building without a long setup project. It is still the easiest place to test whether an AI-assisted support workflow will save real time.

- How much editing is still required before sending to a customer
- Whether a small team can adopt it without a complex rollout
- Whether the free tier is enough to test a repeatable support workflow
