Each cell is the brand’s average position in that AI model’s answers across the month's capture; indigo marks each AI model’s top answer among the brands shown. A dash means that AI model never named the brand. A model’s own list can be longer than this board, so a position can exceed the number of brands ranked here.
How this ranking is built
Every month, each of the 9 leading AI models (ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini among them) is asked the question a buyer asks, once:
“What are the best video conferencing software? Recommend the top brands or products that people actually use.”
Brands are then ranked by their AI Recommendation Score: how many AI models recommend them and how often they come up. Presence in real answers is the only input. Read the full methodology →
Sources changed: 51% new since September 2026, from 43 domains cited in the October 2026 edition. Counted as distinct source domains, pooled across the 9 AI models, from this category’s own citation record.
