Named against cited

Named is different from cited.

AI can recommend a company without linking to its site, and can lean on a company's pages without naming it. The shaded corners are where the two come apart.

Frequently asked

Questions about AI ITSM tools.

What is the best AI ITSM tools according to AI?
ServiceNow is the company AI names most often, in 44.9% of answers in the week of Nov 2, 2026. "Best" here means most often recommended by AI, which is what a buyer asking an AI assistant sees.
What are the alternatives to ServiceNow?
AI names Microsoft, Okta, Jira and Freshservice most often after ServiceNow for AI ITSM tools.
How is this ranking made?
Every day we put the same 10 buyer questions to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews and record which companies each answer names. Each week the answers naming a company are divided by all the answers that came back. Companies are taken from the answers themselves, never from a list we chose.
How often is it updated?
Every week. Scans run daily, and each Monday the previous Monday to Sunday is published as one score. This board covers Nov 2, 2026 to Nov 8, 2026.
Why does each rate have a range?
A week holds about 227 answers, which is too few to fix a rate to one decimal. The 95% range shows where the true rate likely sits, and two companies whose ranges overlap are level.
How can a company get recommended by AI for AI ITSM tools?
Start by finding which buyer questions name you and which name a competitor. The free AEO audit runs those questions against your domain and shows the sources AI cites instead of you.
