One live question to one assistant, asked by PollyX on Oct 15, 2026 and asked again about once a month. Assistants answer differently every time, so this is a sample, not a score. The full check asks 12 buyer questions of nine assistants and records every page each one reads. How AI visibility is measured

Is Walmart the first recommendation, and how is it described?

That was one question to one assistant. The full check asks nine assistants 12 buyer questions each, shows where Walmart is first, listed or absent, who is named instead, which pages the assistants read, and what to publish to change it.
