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 50 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. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.

Two brands tied at the top, model loyalty splits them apart.

Descript and Runway share an identical overall score of 50.3, but they got there differently: Runway owns ChatGPT with a 60 while Descript leads on Claude at 55, making the tie more of a split-personality draw than a true dead heat. CapCut holds third on mention rate but almost never gets picked first by Gemini, which instead breaks hard for Opus Clip at a score of 50, the sharpest model-level divergence in the set. HeyGen appears in 47% of answers yet converts to a first pick just 1.4% of the time, suggesting AI models treat it as a safe filler name rather than a genuine recommendation.

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: Luma Dream Machine (8.3), InVideo AI (8.2), Pika Labs (6.9), ElevenLabs (6.7), InVideo (6.1). 71 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.
