Updated 2026-08-22 · 48 sampled answers · rolling 4-week window · methodology
Rankings are measured from sampled AI answers — never editorial, never paid. Orbator builds AI-visibility tooling; when Orbator itself appears in any category, it is measured by the same rules as everyone else.
Sample: 48 AI answers · Window: Jul 25, 2026 – Aug 22, 2026 (4-week rolling) · trend vs prior 4 weeks (64 answers)
Samples by engine: GEMINI 16 (last run Aug 1, 2026) · PERPLEXITY 16 (last run Aug 1, 2026) · CHATGPT 8 (last run Aug 1, 2026) · CLAUDE 8 (last run Aug 2, 2026) · GROK 0 (last run Jul 13, 2026 — stalest)
How these numbers are made: sampling design · prompt provenance · what counts as a mention · what we cannot see

Reading the numbers: Share is a point estimate on 48 sampled answers, so each row also shows its 95% CI — the Wilson score interval around that share. When two products' intervals overlap, the gap between them isn't statistically meaningful at this sample size. First pick is the share of a product's recommending answers where it was named first, which separates “always mentioned” from “usually the top recommendation”. Full methodology.
