## What the models said for it

- "Start with general-purpose LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude) for content" (Kimi K2, AI marketing agents)
- "ChatGPT's free tier is a great starting point with limited messages... though it does not include AI agent mode" (Claude Haiku 4.5, AI marketing agents)

## And against it

- "Italy's data protection authority fined OpenAI €15 million for violating privacy laws ... Prompt injection attacks have been exploited" (GLM 4.7 FlashX, Support chatbots)
- "Generic AI Writing Tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini without a library) ... These are not sufficient on their own for RFP responses." (MiniMax M2.5, RFP response)
- "What to avoid: Using consumer-grade, public AI interfaces for competitive analysis." (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Competitive intel)
- "Excellent for drafting but poor for governed RFP responses" (GLM 4.7 FlashX, RFP response)
