When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about video conferencing, Cisco ranks #11 of 15, a Visibility Score of 6 in Video Conferencing .
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.
Cisco's entire AI footprint is one category, and it's losing there.
Where it wins. Video Conferencing is Cisco's only measured presence, and the 'Budget and alternatives' prompt theme is the one context where the models consistently surface it, suggesting some residual price-conscious relevance.
Where it loses. An 8% mention rate at rank 11 of 15 means Cisco trails most of the field, and a first-pick rate of 0% across all prompt themes tells you the models never land on Cisco as the answer, only as an afterthought alongside Logitech and Poly.
