Which AI assistants recommend Summit Defense

Every assistant we ask, and what it said this edition. A customer who asks the ones marked “not naming you” hears about your competitors instead — and nothing tells you it happened.

Assistants marked “searches the web” look things up as they answer, so what they say reflects what sites say about you now. Those marked “answers from memory” (Grok, Meta AI, DeepSeek, Mistral) answer from what they learned in training, so a change to your website can take until their next update to reach them. How each one is asked.
