How to read thisWe asked ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Claude and Perplexity the 6 buyer questions below on 3 November 2026, in English, for an audience in the United States. None of the questions names a brand. "Named" means the answer's text mentions the brand, and "cited" means the answer links to the brand's own website. We count only the brands listed here, so other companies may also have been named. AI answers vary from run to run, so treat small differences as ties. IndexHalo isn't affiliated with these companies, and they did not take part.
