What ChatGPT recommends.

by OpenAI · tracked weekly · agrees with consensus in 18 of 22 categoriesPreview data

ChatGPT is OpenAI’s conversational assistant and the most widely used AI chat product in the world. When people ask it “what’s the best CRM for a small team?”, its answer functions as a recommendation engine — and the brands it names first capture the intent.

How we query it

Every week we ask ChatGPT the same recommendation questions buyers ask in each category, record the full answer, and score each named brand by how early and how prominently it appears. The same questions go to every model, so the columns are comparable.

How its column behaves

ChatGPT tends to answer recommendation queries with a ranked shortlist and a one-line reason per brand, and it names widely reviewed market leaders early in the list.

ChatGPT’s current #1 picks.

Where it breaks from the pack.

In 4 of 22 categories this week, ChatGPT crowns a different #1 than the cross-model consensus — Civil Goat Coffee over Houndstooth Coffee in best coffee shops in austin; Jack's Wife Freda over Buvette in best brunch in nyc; Gibsons Bar & Steak over Bavette's Bar & Boeuf in best steakhouse in chicago, among others. Disagreement like this is the spread signal: different models read different sources, and the gap is where AI visibility is won.

During the preview period, the rankings shown are simulated sample data while our measurement pipeline comes online. The format, scoring, and methodology are final — the numbers become live once the crawl begins.
