AWS AWS: AI Visibility Report

aws.training ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about communications apis (cpaas), AWS ranks #9 of 15, a Visibility Score of 13 in Communications APIs (CPaaS) (and appears in 21 categories of the index).

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.

How AI sees AWS

AWS drifts into AI lists as filler, never the pick.

Where it wins. Communications APIs is the sole category where AWS holds any footing, scoring 12.8 and reaching a 24% mention rate, both figures well above every other category measured.

Where it loses. Across 20 other verticals, from roofing contractors to funeral homes, AWS lands at rank 12 or worse, earns first-pick rates of 1 to 4%, and is consistently absent from use-case, feature, and budget prompts, meaning AI models surface it as a generic enterprise name rather than a fit for the actual software being bought.
