Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A research project collecting real users’ ChatGPT answers to measure which products, brands, and companies appear as recommendations.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-13 issue.

Field notes

The project records answers displayed in ordinary users’ generative-AI environments rather than treating an API response as a complete proxy for user experience. Its first listed study targets ChatGPT product recommendations and specifies three questions for each of 150 planned participants, yielding a stated maximum of 450 observations. The study is marked as ongoing, so the homepage describes an active measurement effort rather than a completed dataset.
