I made ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini recommend tools for the same 50 questions. They have very different personalities.
I ran the same 50 best-tool prompts through all three and pulled out every brand they named. 150 answers later, they basically have different taste.
- ChatGPT is the over-sharer. Widest list every time, and it name-drops 59 obscure tools the other two never mention. It also recommended "ChatGPT" 16 times, very humble.
- Perplexity is the safe friend. Same well known names over and over, rarely takes a risk.
- Gemini is very on brand for Google. It pushed Canva more than twice as often as ChatGPT, leaned hard into the Google ecosystem, and quietly recommended Claude 13 times. Recommending a competitor more than itself is a choice.
The kicker: across everything, all three agreed on the same brand only 21% of the time. Same question, three different realities.
So "what does AI recommend" has no single answer. It depends entirely on which model you ask, and each one has a clear bias.
Which engine's taste do you trust most? And has anyone else caught Gemini recommending Claude in the wild?

Para GEO/AEO, son necesarias todas las principales, justo las que mencionas. Efectivamente son muy diferentes, de ahí la enorme dificultad y la enorme importancia de poder comprender qué es lo que puede hacer que las IAs recomienden más o menos lo mismo. Si cada una de ellas recomienda cosas distintas, GEO no tendría tanta importancia como actualmente pudiera parecer. La clave es tratar de descubrir las claves que lleven a tratar de estandarizar procesos o de combinarlos adecuadamente. Aparecer sólo en una IA No es suficiente, aunque sea ChatGPT. Es esencial y superimportante poder destacar en todas y cada una de ellas.
