% = share of AI answers (query × engine) where the brand is named. Shares don't add up to 100%.
How solid are these numbers? This board is built on 12 questions asked on 2026-07-27, so treat the percentages as directional, not precise. With a sample this size, a brand at 75% and one at 100% may well be equally visible — the gap is within what re-running the same questions would produce on its own. The order of the top few names is the reliable part; the exact figures are not. A full check on your own brand asks far more questions and reports its margin of error.

How AI decides who to recommend

AI assistants don't rank CRM software the way Google does. They pull names from sources they trust — reviews, comparison articles, Reddit, YouTube — and repeat the brands that appear there most consistently, with clear, structured information. Brands absent from those sources simply don't get named, no matter how good the product is.
