Engine by engine
Discord vs Slack: what the data says
When buyers ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to recommend team chat software, Slack is recommended more often than Discord — scoring 99/100 for AI visibility versus 33/100. Slack shows up in 100% of AI answers to real buyer questions; Discord shows up in 50%.
The gap is widest on Gemini, where Slack is clearly favoured: Discord is recommended 40% of the time and Slack 100%. Because each engine draws on different sources, a brand can lead on one and trail on another — which is why it pays to track all three rather than assume one result holds everywhere.
In practice, an AI assistant asked “What is the best team chat software for remote teams?” is far likely to put Slack on its shortlist. Discord is largely invisible in AI answers for team chat software — and since these shortlists are increasingly where buying decisions start, that's a gap worth closing.
