They’re asking Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok and a growing list of AI engines that all generate answers differently. *By Levi Bouman · Published 2026-06-05 · Updated 2026-06-05 · Original article: https://trackbase.ai/blog/the-11-ai-platforms-every-brand-should-be-tracking-in-2026* Your customers aren’t just asking ChatGPT anymore. They’re asking Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok and a growing list of AI engines that all generate answers differently. To get a real view of your AI visibility, you need to track them all. This starts with understanding [how these models decide](https://trackbase.ai/blog/how-ai-models-decide-which-brands-to-recommend) which brands to surface. Trackbase monitors the 11 most relevant platforms in the market today. Here’s what each one does and why it matters. ## Conversational AI models These are the chat-first platforms where users ask questions directly: - **ChatGPT**: OpenAI’s flagship product. The most-used AI assistant in the world, with deep adoption in B2B research, content workflows and consumer queries. - **Claude**: Anthropic’s model, popular with enterprise users and developers. Known for long, structured answers and careful sourcing. - **Gemini**: Google’s conversational AI, integrated across Workspace and Android. High reach inside Google’s existing user base. - **Grok**: xAI’s model, native to X (Twitter). Strong for real-time and trending queries. - **DeepSeek**: A leading open model from China, increasingly used in technical and developer contexts. - **LLaMA**: Meta’s open-weights model family. Powers many third-party AI assistants and enterprise deployments. - **Mistral**: A European model with strong adoption among privacy-conscious enterprises and EU institutions. ## AI search and discovery platforms These platforms blend search with AI-generated answers, often citing sources directly: - **Perplexity**: A pure AI search engine that cites sources by default. Heavily used in research-driven queries. - **Google AI Overviews**: The AI-generated summary that appears at the top of Google results for many queries. Reaches Google’s full search audience. - **Google AI Mode**: Google’s deeper conversational search experience, sitting between traditional Google and Gemini. - **Copilot**: Microsoft’s AI assistant, built into Bing, Windows, Office and Edge. Default AI for many enterprise users. ## Why tracking just one isn’t enough Each platform pulls from different training data, weights sources differently, and surfaces brands in distinct ways. A brand that dominates on Perplexity might be invisible on Gemini. A [B2B SaaS](https://trackbase.ai/blog/ai-visibility-for-b2b-saas-where-buyers-look-and-how-to-show-up) company strong in ChatGPT may have zero presence on Copilot, even though Copilot is what their enterprise buyers use at work. Tracking only the platform you personally use creates a blind spot the size of your actual audience. ## How Trackbase covers all 11 Trackbase runs a defined set of prompts across all 11 platforms every 24 hours. The results feed into one platform showing your visibility score, sentiment, [share of voice](https://trackbase.ai/blog/how-to-measure-ai-share-of-voice) and competitor ranking, per platform and combined.
