How we ranked them

We looked at how directly each tool shows the questions buyers ask AI assistants, how clearly it connects those questions to action and how well it suits marketers and founders. Aiso is ranked first because this list is about finding AI buyer questions, which is what Aiso does, and we own it. Several tools here do other jobs well, so many teams will combine two or three.
