A public record of AI recommendations
The Answer IndexWhich companies do AI answer engines recommend?
Buyers have stopped searching for a shortlist. They ask an answer engine for one.
So we ask too: 221 questions a buyer would type, with no company named in any of them, across 3 engines.
1,311 answers and 675 companies later, this is who the engines name first.
The category library
Every category we measure, in every market.
We put the questions buyers actually type to the answer engines, with no company named in any of them, and publish which companies come back. Every figure ships with its data, and every study is free to cite.
