How ChatGPT Recommends Jitsi

Across 100 video conferencing and webinar software questions, Jitsi appeared in 20 answers (rank 5 of every brand named), was recommended in 20 (rank 5) and was ChatGPT's own pick in 13 (rank 6). That is a pick rate of 65% of its appearances, below the 8-brand median of 73% for brands named 10 or more times in this teardown.

When ChatGPT picked Jitsi, it named it first among the brands it picked in 5 of those 13 answers. On the 20 direct advice questions ("which should I use"), ChatGPT never recommended or picked it.

These are the labels ChatGPT attached to Jitsi in "best for" table columns and scenario lists, quoted as written. We found 19 such labels for Jitsi in this category; the most frequent are below.

• "Free/open-source users"
• "General-purpose meetings (Zoom/Meet replacement)"
• "Free/open-source meetings"
• "No-cost meetings without traditional webinar features"
• "Organizations wanting control over infrastructure"
• "Free/open-source, minimal friction"

If this is not how you describe your product, that gap is the first thing to fix: AI answers repeat the positioning they find most often across the sources they read.

2 comparison questions named Jitsi against at least one rival. ChatGPT picked both Jitsi and at least one named rival in 1, only Jitsi in 1, and only a rival in 0. In half of them ChatGPT made both Jitsi and a rival its picks instead of declaring a single winner.

• microsoft.com (vendor site): 3
• google.com (vendor site): 3
• stackfyi.com (other third party): 3
• meetrix.io (other third party): 2

Google check: for 3 of the 13 questions where ChatGPT picked Jitsi, jit.si also ranked in Google's top ten organic results for the same question. So most of these picks came on questions where its own site did not rank.

The brands that appeared most often in the same answers as Jitsi, and in how many of those answers ChatGPT picked them. This is the competitive set ChatGPT has built for it, which is not always the one a vendor would choose.

• Google Meet: in 15 of Jitsi's 20 answers, picked in 10
• Microsoft Teams: in 13 of Jitsi's 20 answers, picked in 9
• Webex: in 10 of Jitsi's 20 answers, picked in 5
• Whereby: in 10 of Jitsi's 20 answers, picked in 6
• Zoom: in 9 of Jitsi's 20 answers, picked in 6

Jitsi is on ChatGPT's video conferencing and webinar software shortlist but is not one of its top three picks: it was recommended in 20 answers and picked in 13, against 63 picks for Zoom, the most-picked brand. Its lowest pick rate is on direct advice questions, where ChatGPT picked it in 0 of 20.

In the answers that picked Jitsi, the most-cited third-party source was stackfyi.com (3 citations). jit.si was cited 7 times across the whole category.

In 10 of the 13 answers that picked Jitsi, jit.si did not rank in Google's top ten for the same question, so Google rankings alone do not explain where ChatGPT sends buyers.

Finding which sources shape the answer in a category, and making sure they describe the brand accurately, is the core of AI SEO.

Source: Teardown 17: video conferencing and webinar software. Each teardown runs 100 buyer questions (category, head-to-head, alternatives and advice phrasing) through ChatGPT with web search on, logged out, United States, English, one run per question.

Every answer was coded under codebook v2.0 by two independent AI readers working blind from the published reader protocol. Each reader coded every brand mention as picked, recommended, listed, passing or anchor; where the two disagreed, a third AI reader settled the code. Across all answers coded under v2.0, the two readers agreed on 97.8% of brand codes.

"Picked" means the answer made the brand its own verdict: "my pick", "choose X if", a shortlist it tells the buyer to act on, the #1 of its ranking, or the direct answer to a "which should I use" question. "Recommended" means the answer assigned the brand to a stated case or fit ("best for small teams") or picked it, so every picked brand also counts as recommended. "Appeared" counts answers where the brand was recommended or listed. Every count is a count of answers. Use-case labels are quoted from the answers as written. Google checks use the top ten organic results for the same question collected the same day.

Limits: one run per question, one country, one point in time. AI answers vary between runs, so treat these as frequencies for this sample, not fixed positions.
