How AI sees GitHub Copilot

One category, one race, buried at rank 9.

Where it wins. GitHub Copilot registers a 25% mention rate in AI App Builders, meaning a quarter of relevant buyer queries surface it at all, which is its entire footprint across all three AI models measured.

Where it loses. A rank of 9 out of 15 with 0% first-pick selections means it lands well below the tools buyers actually choose, and it draws zero visibility from startup, enterprise, or feature-specific prompts where purchase decisions get made.
