From Aiso’s conversation panel

What real conversations actually show

We don’t have to theorize about this. Aiso’s panel of millions of real, anonymized AI conversations shows exactly how assistants handle buying questions.

Millions

real, anonymized AI conversations in Aiso’s panel

2 in 3

buying-intent questions got a generic answer — no specific brand named

1

the most common number of brands a recommendation named — 63% named just one

A few real questions from the panel

  • What's a good lightweight podcast app for an older Android phone?
  • What are ten companies that offer similar products and/or services to Diffbot?
  • Which MBA is the best in 2025?

Across tens of thousands of buying-intent conversations, the assistant named a specific brand only about a third of the time — the other two-thirds got a generic answer with no company named at all. And when it did recommend, 63% of those answers named a single brand. That is the visibility gap Copilot brand tracking exists to close: knowing whether Copilot names you at all, and whether you’re the one name it picks. See the full methodology.
