What assistants recommend in Stellenbosch
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 | 97% | 0% | 0% | 3% | 64 |
| Claude | 56% | 11% | 5% | 28% | 61 |
| Gemini | 92% | 0% | 2% | 6% | 63 |
Asked on 2026-10-22. 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 22 questions, the assistants named 100 different places. This index has 111 businesses.
