Who AI recommends in the US, industry by industry
Every month we ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude the same buyer questions for each of these 12 industries and write down which businesses they name. The questions never mention a business, so every name in the results is one the AI came up with on its own.
We always show how many answers we actually measured and how many failed. A call that fails never counts as “this business was not named”: it is left out of the numbers entirely.
