Full methodology →
  1. We ask AI what Filipinos ask

    Every week, the same everyday questions — “which bank is best for savings?” — go to 7 AI assistants.

    ChatGPTGeminiPerplexityCopilotClaudeGoogle AI OverviewsGoogle AI Mode
  2. We count which brands they name

    Share of AI voice is how often a brand comes up in those answers: 60% means it was named in 6 of every 10. Weekly moves are in points: 40% → 45% is +5 pts.

  3. Higher means more visible — not better

    It is not a rating or a market share. One answer can name several brands, so the shares don’t add up to 100%.

Trend

Weekly visibility index, last 30 days

Weekly combined share of AI voice for the top brands. Each point is dated with the Monday that opens the week and carries the last measurement taken during that week. The underlying measurement only moves weekly, so plotting every calendar day would just repeat the same reading. Points are real measurements joined by straight lines; nothing between them is interpolated or smoothed.

Share of AI voice

Who AI names first
in universities & higher ed

Share of AI voice is the share of measured AI answers in this category that mention the brand, combined across assistants. One answer can name several brands, so these are relative weights, not parts of 100%. Weekly change is in points: a brand going from 40% to 45% is +5 pts.

Position

Who owns
the conversation

Every measured answer in this category falls into exactly one bucket per brand: the brand named alone, named alongside rivals, rivals named without it, or no tracked brand named at all. Because the four always sum to the same total, every brand is measured against one shared denominator.

Measured across 168 AI answers on November 9, 2026. Each answer counts once per brand, so every brand's bands total the same number of answers.

Tone

How assistants talk
about each brand

Every time an answer names a tracked brand, that sentence is classified automatically as positive, neutral, negative or mixed, and tags what it is about — price, reputation, service and so on. We count those classifications and publish the counts; we do not grade brands ourselves, and tone never enters the ranking. One answer can mention a brand several times, so mentions outnumber answers.
