Circuit: AI Visibility Report

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about route planning & optimization, Circuit ranks #1 of 15, a Visibility Score of 59 in Route Planning & Optimization (and appears in 2 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 Circuit

Broad route planning presence, depth stalls at delivery.

Where it wins. Circuit leads the Route Planning category at rank 1 with a 75% mention rate, making it the most consistently surfaced tool in that space. That's genuine visibility, even if the 16.7% first-pick rate shows AI models share the credit freely.

Where it loses. In Last-Mile Delivery & Courier, Circuit drops to rank 2 with a 50% mention rate and a 2.8% first-pick rate, meaning it surfaces but rarely anchors the conversation. It's also invisible on enterprise-oriented prompts in both categories, which caps its ceiling with larger buyers.
