Sample: 60 AI answers · Window: Jul 18, 2026 – Aug 15, 2026 (4-week rolling) · trend vs prior 4 weeks (30 answers)
Samples by engine: GEMINI 18 (last run Jul 31, 2026) · PERPLEXITY 18 (last run Jul 31, 2026) · CLAUDE 12 (last run Aug 1, 2026) · GROK 6 (last run Jul 31, 2026) · CHATGPT 6 (last run Jul 28, 2026 — stalest)

Reading the numbers: Share is a point estimate on 60 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.
