PagerDuty PagerDuty: AI Visibility Report

pagerduty.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about incident management & on-call, PagerDuty ranks #1 of 15, a Visibility Score of 83 in Incident Management & On-Call .

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 PagerDuty

PagerDuty owns incident management outright in AI recommendations.

Where it wins. A 91.7% mention rate paired with a 65% first-pick rate means AI models treat PagerDuty as the default answer, not a consideration, when buyers ask about incident management and on-call software. That first-pick share is the number that separates category owners from contenders.

Where it loses. The co-mention pattern with Opsgenie and Incident.io signals that AI models still present alternatives in the same breath, which gives buyers a reason to evaluate rather than simply choose PagerDuty outright.
