Newforma Newforma: AI Visibility Report

newforma.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about architecture & engineering (aec), Newforma ranks #5 of 15, a Visibility Score of 19 in Architecture & Engineering (AEC) .

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 Newforma

AEC-only player, stuck in the middle of a crowded field.

Where it wins. Newforma gets mentioned in nearly 31% of AEC buying conversations, which earns it a fifth-place foothold in a 15-vendor race. The 'Best overall' prompt theme is where that recognition concentrates.

Where it loses. A 1.4% first-pick rate means buyers hear the name but reach past it toward other options. Newforma is invisible when conversations shift to enterprise criteria or specific feature comparisons, two themes that likely drive higher-intent purchases.
