CircleCI CircleCI: AI Visibility Report

circleci.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about code hosting & collaboration, CircleCI ranks #14 of 15, a Visibility Score of 3 in Code Hosting & Collaboration .

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 CircleCI

Barely visible, never chosen, outrun by its own co-mentions.

Where it wins. CircleCI surfaces in feature-led prompts at a 4% mention rate, meaning it earns at least some recognition when buyers ask about specific capabilities rather than broad categories.

Where it loses. It ranks 14th of 15 and has a 0% first-pick rate, and it is entirely absent from six major prompt themes including enterprise, startup, and best-overall queries where purchase decisions actually get made.
