The menu, channel and builder counts cover the 65 sites the scanner could read; the AI crawler counts cover all 73 scanned sites. Each uses the latest scan. The listings come from OpenStreetMap. Businesses without their own website are counted but not scanned. Another 19 have an address that no longer answers (dead domain, bad certificate or server down). They're counted with the businesses that have no website and left out of the ranking.

The full league table, assistant by assistant → · The places named, question by question

What assistants recommend in Montevideo 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.

AssistantOwn site or directMarketplaceDirectoryNo linkPlaces
ChatGPT97%0%0%3%34
Gemini84%0%0%16%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. When a cell says "no link", the assistant named the place but didn't link to its site. Across the 12 questions, the assistants named 47 different places. This index has 707 businesses.
