How ChatGPT Recommends Whereby

Across 100 video conferencing and webinar software questions, Whereby appeared in 14 answers (tied for rank 6 among all brands named), was recommended in 14 (tied for rank 6) and was ChatGPT's own pick in 9 (rank 8). That is a pick rate of 64% of its appearances, below the 8-brand median of 73% for brands named 10 or more times in this teardown.

When ChatGPT picked Whereby, it named it first among the brands it picked in 1 of those 9 answers. On the 20 direct advice questions ("which should I use"), ChatGPT picked it in 1 and recommended it in 1.

These are the labels ChatGPT attached to Whereby in its video conferencing and webinar software answers, taken from "best for" table columns and scenario lists and quoted as written. We found 9 such labels for Whereby in this category; the most frequent are below.

• "Very simple client calls"
• "Small teams & simple calls"
• "Very simple prospect experience"

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.

These are the brands ChatGPT named alongside Whereby most often in video conferencing and webinar software answers, 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 12 of Whereby's 14 answers, picked in 8
• Microsoft Teams: in 11 of Whereby's 14 answers, picked in 8
• Jitsi: in 10 of Whereby's 14 answers, picked in 6
• Zoom: in 8 of Whereby's 14 answers, picked in 6

Whereby is on ChatGPT's video conferencing and webinar software shortlist but is not one of its top three picks: it was recommended in 14 answers and picked in 9, against 63 picks for Zoom, the most-picked brand. Its weakest showing is on "best X" category questions, where ChatGPT picked it in 1 of 30.

In the answers that picked Whereby, the most-cited third-party source was stackfyi.com (4 citations). whereby.com was cited 3 times across the whole category.

In 7 of the 9 answers that picked Whereby, whereby.com did not rank in Google's top ten for the same question, so Google rankings alone do not explain where ChatGPT sends buyers.

The ChatGPT data on Whereby comes from 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. Corrected October 23, 2026: Google answered some automated searches in late September with swapped results pages full of the wrong sites, so where the page collected on September 26 was swapped, the check now uses Google's page for the same question on October 23, 2026.

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. High Salience has no commercial relationship with any brand on this page. If you work for this brand and see an error, write to hello@highsalience.com and we will check it against the dataset.
