The tracked categories

The assistants rank their own category. ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini sit at the top, and each one names rivals about as readily as it names itself.

No favorite. The leader is named in only about a third of answers, and the rest of the field sits close behind. The shelf is still open.

Duolingo leads the category. But ask for an AI tutor and assistants like Gemini and Mistral name Langua and Speak instead.

A crowded shelf, 28 apps deep. CapCut leads the chat models, and this month Google’s AI Overview lined up behind it too.

VPNs and password managers share one board, so ProtonVPN and NordVPN top a list where Bitwarden, a password manager, outranks Surfshark. Every grounded engine echoes the same affiliate VPN trio.
