## Method

Once a month we ask Perplexity and ChatGPT the same set of questions about AI agents and keep each answer with the sources it lists. This edition counts the 135 answers collected between 15 October 2026 and 23 October 2026, to 35 questions. A site counts once per answer that lists at least one of its pages, and a site is its main domain, so en.wikipedia.org is wikipedia.org. Shares are of the 135 answers that listed any source. A product site is the website of a product listed here.
