What the models actually said.
The ranking is the answer; these are the words behind it. Every quote is from a recorded model answer — follow the category to read it whole.
Google Chat
Google Chat — best for Google Workspace organizations: It is the sensible low-friction answer for companies living in Gmail, Drive, Docs, Calendar, and Meet, since Spaces are built around collaborating on Workspace projects rather than adding another major platform.
ChatGPT
Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams — best for Microsoft 365 organizations: Choose it when Outlook, SharePoint/OneDrive, Office, Entra, and Microsoft compliance administration are already your company standard, because its chat, channels, files, meetings, and collaboration are tightly bound to that environment.
ChatGPT
Where the models split.
Across the 1 category Google Chat and Microsoft Teams both appear in, the models never break ranks: in each one, the same brand leads on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity alike.
No model runs against the grain here: each of the four ranks Microsoft Teams ahead at least as often as not, with Claude the most lopsided.
