When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about project management, GitHub Projects ranks #13 of 15, a Visibility Score of 5 in Project Management .
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.
One category, one race, and it's losing badly.
Where it wins. GitHub Projects does register in Project Management conversations, which is its only AI footprint. A 6.9% mention rate means models know it exists in that field.
Where it loses. Ranked 13 of 15 with zero first-pick selections, it sits near the bottom of a single category while Jira, Linear, and ClickUp collect the recommendations. Seven prompt themes, including enterprise, startup, and budget angles, produce no trace of it at all.
