How AI sees dbt

Solid ETL contender, but first-pick rate betrays the ceiling.

Where it wins. dbt lands rank 3 in Data Integration & ETL with a 49% mention rate, meaning AI models surface it reliably whenever buyers ask about data transformation tooling.

Where it loses. A first-pick rate of just 2.8% means the models consistently hand the shortlist lead to others, and with no presence outside this single category, dbt has nowhere else to accumulate ground.
