Recognized but never chosen; a background name, not a recommendation.
Where it wins. Waze surfaces in nearly 19% of AI mentions for Route Planning, ranking 7th of 15, which keeps it in the conversation on trend-style prompts like 'Top tools in 2026'.
Where it loses. A 0% first-pick rate tells the real story: AI models cite Waze as context rather than a solution, and it disappears entirely when buyers ask about best overall fit, enterprise use, features, or budget alternatives.
