Engine by engine
Slack vs Microsoft Teams: 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 Microsoft Teams — scoring 99/100 for AI visibility versus 69/100. Slack shows up in 100% of AI answers to real buyer questions; Microsoft Teams shows up in 80%.
The gap is widest on Gemini, where Slack is clearly favoured: Slack is recommended 100% of the time and Microsoft Teams 60%. 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 are the best team chat applications for remote teams?” is more likely to put Slack on its shortlist. Both are in the running, but the more consistently a brand is described the same way across the web, the more confidently the models name it.
