The AI Shopping Test

Who AI recommends when a shopper is ready to buy.

Real shopping questions, asked in ChatGPT, logged out, with a dated screenshot of every run. Every test shows the exact question, the engine, the date and what it named. The tests so far come from Who’s at the table?, my Thanksgiving series. Client before-and-afters join them in January.

How to read a test: a single answer is a snapshot, and answers change from run to run. Tests with three or more runs show which brands keep their seat. Your audit runs your questions three times on four engines.

What a finding means for a brand

Four patterns, and what each one tells you.

Three competitors named, you missing

A competitive gap: AI has better material about them for that question.

A brand people know, left out

A discoverability problem: the pages AI reads don't make the brand's case.

Named on one engine only

Each engine reads different sources, so each one needs its own fix.

A review site or magazine cited

A third-party source AI trusts in that category, and a place your brand should appear.
