The best of Texas, according to AI
When someone in Texas asks an AI assistant who to hire, it answers with names. Every month we ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and 8 more AI assistants the questions real customers ask, and publish who they name — city by city, category by category.

Monthly. This edition covers October 2026; the next publishes in November 2026.

The index publishes Texas as its measurements clear the floor — but the assistants are answering your customers now. Find out whether they name you, and what it takes to change that.
