See which brands ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI recommend, and whether you're one of them

Every day, buyers ask an AI assistant questions like

Which CRM should a 10‑person sales team use?Recommend a WhatsApp API provider for sending marketing broadcasts to customers.Which email warm‑up service should I use before starting a cold email campaign?

in the answer?

Free. We ask 3 buyer questions on Google AI Overview, Google AI Mode and Perplexity and show you every answer. One check per email and website per day.

How a leaderboard is made

We count how often each brand is named and show it with a 95% interval, so a two-point gap isn't read as a win. Every number links to the answers behind it. Nobody can pay to move up. Read the methodology

Questions

What is Shortlist?

Shortlist shows which brands AI assistants name when a buyer asks them for a recommendation in a category. Each leaderboard is built from real answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI Overview and Google AI Mode, stored word for word.

Is this a review or a ranking of quality?

No. It is a record of what AI assistants said on a given date. A brand that is named often is not necessarily better, and a brand that is not named is not necessarily worse.

How are the numbers calculated?

Each category has 10 buyer questions. Each question is asked 5 times on each of 6 engines. A brand's mention rate is the share of answers that name it, shown with a 95% Wilson interval. Every answer is linked.

How often is it updated?

Each category is re-run once a week. Every page shows the date its answers were collected.

What does the free check do?

It asks 3 buyer questions from your category on Google AI Overview, Google AI Mode, Perplexity, and shows which brands each answer named and whether yours was one of them. One check per email and per website per day.

Can a brand pay to be listed higher?

No. Leaderboards come only from the answers. The $390 audit is advice for one brand; it does not change any leaderboard.
