Software for construction firms to manage projects, schedules, RFIs, submittals, and field coordination. Right now, Procore is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 74 and the #1 spot in 72% of answers. Head-to-head: Procore vs Buildertrend →
These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. When the models DO search the web, see which sources they cite. Methodology.
Procore leads construction AI mentions, but the field is closing.
Procore wins on first-pick rate at 72% but carries only a 14-point score advantage over Buildertrend, meaning a single shift in how models weight buyer questions could tighten the gap fast. Buildertrend's near-equal mention rate of 76% shows it surfaces just as often, losing ground only when models rank their answers. Autodesk Construction Cloud is the hidden pressure point: ChatGPT scores it at 57.9 while Claude and Gemini sit around 33, so Autodesk's standing is fragile and model-dependent rather than settled.

The ± under each score is the reliability band: how much the number would move if we re-ran the identical measurement. It is tight because each prompt is sampled multiple times. It is not the same as how much the ranking depends on which prompts we ask — a separate, wider figure shown on hover.
Just below the cutoff: Bluebeam (4.3), PlanGrid (4), Jobber (4), Buildxact (3.8), Oracle Primavera (3.5). 87 brands were scored in this category; the leaderboard shows the top 15.
Visibility Score: position-weighted presence across all measured answers, 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the brand was the first recommendation in every answer. Every point in a trend line is a live monthly measurement; there is no modeled or backfilled history. Full methodology.
