How this list is made
Every week we ask one AI assistant the same buyer questions for each category, each question several times, with web search on.
We list the products its answers recommend and rank them by how many answers recommend them. When two products are recommended equally often, the one named earlier in the answers ranks higher.
A product has to be recommended in at least 2 answers to be listed. AI assistants themselves are left out.
Nobody can pay to be listed or to move up. BrandPicked sells reports to founders, and buying one changes nothing here.
