# We checked whether AI recommends our own product. It doesn't, yet.

We build a tool that checks whether AI assistants recommend a brand, so we ran it on ourselves.

On 21 October 2026 we asked ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity 18 questions, one run per question (72 answers).

When someone asked about Envoyra by name, the assistants described us accurately in 9 of 20 answers. In 8 they said they didn't know us, and in 3 (all Gemini) they described something else.

When someone asked an open question, like "what tools show whether ChatGPT recommends my business?", they recommended us in 0 of 36 answers. They named Semrush, Otterly, Profound, Ahrefs and Brandwatch instead.

What we learned:

We'll re-run the same 36 open questions in four weeks and post the count, whatever it is.
