The AI Lab · proprietary data · July 2026 snapshot
We don't guess what AI recommends — we measure it, live.
Readers now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Amazon's Rufus what to read next. The AI Lab is where we log what those engines actually cite — and turn it into audits, courses and fixes for authors and publishers. The figures below are a July 2026 snapshot of the live index.
