AI assistants show varied tool recommendations across platforms

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent study by MaxAEO, a company that tracks AI assistant recommendations, analyzed which tools are most frequently suggested by various AI platforms. The research involved posing 40 specific questions to eight AI assistants, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok, over a seven-day period in October 2026. The findings revealed significant variations in tool recommendations across different platforms, with some tools like Profound, Peec AI, Otterly.AI, and Semrush consistently appearing across most assistants, while others showed strong performance on specific platforms but were absent on others. The study emphasizes the importance of analyzing recommendation data per platform rather than relying on a single aggregated score. AI

IMPACT Highlights the need for granular analysis of AI recommendations, suggesting that platform-specific data is crucial for understanding tool mentions.
