How we recommend an AI

Our quiz uses no artificial intelligence: the recommendation is calculated using simple, deterministic, public rules, entirely in your browser. Same answers, same result. Your answers are never sent.

We receive no commission from AI companies; no company can pay to be ranked higher.

To save you time, the quiz recognizes the type of device you are using (Windows computer, Mac, iPhone, Android). This information stays in your browser and is never sent.

The principle

  1. For each of your uses, each AI gets a score from 0 to 3 (table below). The scores are added up.
  2. Bonuses or penalties are added based on your other answers (tools you already use, budget, level, preference for a French company…). If you select several ecosystems, the bonuses add up.
  3. An AI that is not available on any of your devices receives −10 points: it is effectively excluded.
  4. The AI with the highest score is recommended; the next two are offered as alternatives.
  5. In case of a tie:
    • Number of chosen uses where the AI scores 3/3 (the highest wins)
    • Alphabetical order of the identifier (deterministic)

Scores by use (0 to 3)

These scores are general assessments and do not replace your own trial.
