Industry Overview

Software and Information Technology recommendations can vary by engine and by prompt context. This leaderboard tracks which brands appear most consistently across 7 major AI engines and highlights where category visibility is concentrated.

Software and Information Technology leaderboard tracks how brands appear across 7 major AI engines. Rankings update as new completed runs become available, giving teams a baseline for measuring category visibility before engine-specific gaps emerge.

Use the engine tabs to compare how ChatGPT, gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek rank brands differently. Some engines reward category authority while others emphasize popularity, recency, regional evidence, or recommendation style, so individual rankings can diverge from the overall leaderboard.

Why This Matters

AI answer engines increasingly shape how people shortlist Software and Information Technology brands before they ever click through to websites. Tracking this leaderboard helps teams understand category share of voice, spot leaders, and identify where engine-specific optimization may improve visibility. It is most useful when read alongside mention rate, score gaps, and engine-level outliers rather than as a single static ranking.

Current Ranking Takeaways

Microsoft is the current #1 entity in Software and Information Technology with a 91.7 AI Index and 86.7% mention rate. This makes it a useful public benchmark for selecting private comparison prompts, not a guarantee about future AI answers.

Salesforce is the nearest visible challenger at #2, trailing Microsoft by 40.3 points. That gap is the first signal to inspect when deciding whether this leaderboard is leader-dominated or actively contested.

Oracle rounds out the podium at #3. Comparing the top three against engine-level tabs helps separate broad recommendation consistency from single-engine strength.

The latest public snapshot refreshed on Jun 26, 2026, covering 16 tracked engines and 10 entities. Freshness matters because AI recommendations can shift as models, retrieval sources, and category evidence change.
