What assistants recommend in Beirut cafes and bars
Each assistant was asked the way people ask, with web search on, for up to three places and a link to book or order directly with each. For the places it recommended, the table shows how many came with a link to the place's own site, to a marketplace or to a directory, and how many came with no link at all.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | 91% | 0% | 0% | 9% | 35 |
| Gemini | 62% | 0% | 5% | 32% | 37 |
Asked on 2026-11-03. A place in this index links to its report, and one with its own site that isn't in the index yet links to a scan.
