Questions
Which CRM does AI recommend most in India?
In our latest run (28 October 2026), Zoho was named in 100% of the answers ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews gave to 10 buyer questions about CRM software in India.
How is the AI Shortlist Index measured?
We ask each AI assistant, and Google search in India, the same buyer questions, with no company named in them, and save every answer word for word. Google searches with no AI Overview are not counted. We then count how many answers name each company. A company's score is the share of answers that name it. Nothing is adjusted by hand.
Does a high rank mean a company is the best choice?
No. It shows how often AI assistants name a company today, not product quality, price or fit. AI answers change between runs and tools, so treat it as a snapshot.
How often is it updated?
We ask the questions again from time to time. The page always shows the date of the latest run, and how each company moved since the run before it.
