Methodology
We asked each AI model: "What are the Ai Research Tool Best Practices? List your top 5 recommendations."
Models used: GPT-4.1 Nano (OpenAI), Gemini 2.5 Flash (Google), Grok 4.1 Fast (xAI), Llama 4 Scout (Meta). No web search was enabled — these are pure AI opinions based on training data.
The "AI Consensus" shows products mentioned by 2 or more models. The winner is the product that appears most frequently in the #1 position.
