The full league table, assistant by assistant → · The places named, question by question
What assistants recommend in Muscat 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.
| Assistant | Own site or direct | Marketplace | Directory | No link | Places |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | 100% | 0% | 0% | 0% | 24 |
| Gemini | 64% | 0% | 9% | 27% | 33 |
Asked on 2026-10-25. 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 44 different places. This index has 848 businesses.
