ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Mode disagree on the "best" tool in half of software categories

说明与用途

ChatGPT、Gemini 和 AI Mode 在 10 个软件类别中给出不同的最佳工具建议，表明 AI 可见性因引擎而异。

问题

Different AI answer engines produce conflicting top‑brand recommendations for software categories, making it hard to determine a single best tool.

结果

In 5 of 10 categories the three engines named different leaders; in the other 5 they agreed but the full rankings diverged. The study shows AI visibility is engine‑, category‑, and country‑specific.

工作流

• 1. Prepare a set of 182 buyer‑intent prompts covering 10 software categories.
• 2. For each prompt, send one API call to each engine (ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Mode).
• 3. Collect JSON responses, extracting cited source URLs to distinguish citations from passing mentions.
• 4. Count brand mentions per engine per category.
• 5. Compile per‑category leader tables and full ranked lists.
• 6. Publish results on the public leaderboard and provide methodology documentation.

证据

in 5 of 10 categories, the three engines name a different brand as the leader.

The pipeline is boring on purpose: prompt set → one API call per engine per prompt → count mentions.
