AI Video Creation: AI Visibility Ranking

AI tools for creating, editing, and repurposing video content. Right now, Descript is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 51 and the #1 spot in 19% of answers. Head-to-head: Descript vs Runway →

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. When the models DO search the web, see which sources they cite. Methodology.

Descript barely leads Runway in a wide-open AI video race.

Descript sits at 51 and Runway at 48.6, close enough that a single model shift could flip the top spot. CapCut is the surprise, earning the first-pick nod 22% of the time despite a lower overall score, suggesting buyers asking blunt 'what should I use' questions land on it more than its rank implies. HeyGen appears in over half of all answers yet never takes the top recommendation, making it the category's most-mentioned afterthought.

The ± under each score is the reliability band: how much the number would move if we re-ran the identical measurement. It is tight because each prompt is sampled multiple times. It is not the same as how much the ranking depends on which prompts we ask — a separate, wider figure shown on hover.

Just below the cutoff: Vidyo.ai (6.9), Luma Dream Machine (6.9), VEED (5.8), Luma (5.6), Pika Labs (5.3). 95 brands were scored in this category; the leaderboard shows the top 15.

Visibility Score: position-weighted presence across all measured answers, 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the brand was the first recommendation in every answer. Every point in a trend line is a live monthly measurement; there is no modeled or backfilled history. Full methodology.
