When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about ai video creation, Runway ranks #2 of 15, a Visibility Score of 49 in AI Video Creation (and appears in 2 categories of the index).
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.
Strong in video, invisible where finance buyers decide.
Where it wins. In AI Video Creation, Runway holds rank 2 with a 60% mention rate, meaning the models surface it in most buyer conversations about that category. A first-pick rate of 14% shows it does convert some of that presence into actual recommendations.
Where it loses. In FP&A, Runway sits 10th out of 15 with an 18% mention rate and no presence in four of the five key prompt themes, including enterprise pick and use-case fit. Finance-focused buyers who get specific about workflow or vendor alternatives simply do not see Runway come up.
