A one-page card with the brand's rate on each engine, the buying moments it wins and loses, the sites that decide its category and its nearest rival.

03Six engines, six shortlists

Every dot is one engine. They agree on the leaders and split hard on the challengers, so a brand's AI visibility depends on where its buyers ask.

04Ask twice, get a different answer

We asked every question three times. The engines rarely gave the same shortlist twice, which is why a one-off check of where you rank in ChatGPT misleads.

Gradient chips appeared in all three runs. Grey chips came and went.

05Who wins which buying moment

Every question is tagged with the moment behind it. Bigger, brighter circles mean AI names that brand more often for that kind of question.

06Who AI listens to
