Below is a sample CSV template you can use to compare multiple AI writing tools—whether they’re wrappers or direct chat interfaces. Each row represents a single tool; each column corresponds to one of the criteria from the worksheet. You can open this in any spreadsheet software (Excel, Google Sheets, etc.) to fill in the details.

Tip: Copy the text below (including the header row) into a text file, save it as ai_tool_comparison.csv, then import into your spreadsheet application.

"Tool Name","Type (Wrapper/Direct Chat)","Website/Platform","Setup Steps","First Impressions","User Guidance (Tutorials, Help Docs?)","Special Features (Templates, etc.)","Advanced Settings (Temp, Tokens, etc.)","Integration Options (Docs, Scrivener, etc.)","Response Time","Reliability (Crashes/Errors?)","Frequency of Updates","Free Plan?","Paid Plan Details","Usage Limits (Words/Tokens)","Total Estimated Cost (Monthly/Yearly)","Data Storage Policy","Privacy Policy","Content Ownership","Backup/Export Options","Top 3 Pros","Top 3 Cons","Additional Observations"
"","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","",""
"","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","",""
"","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","",""

How to Use:

1. Copy and paste the content above into a blank text file.
2. Save the file as ai_tool_comparison.csv.
3. Open it in your preferred spreadsheet program (e.g., Excel, Google Sheets) – each column will be neatly separated.
4. For each AI tool or platform you want to evaluate, fill out one row, specifying your observations under each column.
5. If you have more than three tools to compare, simply add more rows.

This approach keeps all comparison criteria in one place, making it easier for you to visually evaluate each option side-by-side.
