Google AI is a single web capture of the AI Overview for 6 of the prompts, not the full set, so treat its column as directional. Every other assistant runs the full prompt set once each.

How the numbers moved

One snapshot is a photo. The index is the film. Each monthly run adds a column here, so a climb or a slide shows up as a line, not a number you have to remember.

Two crafts on one shelf

"Photo & video editing" is really two markets. CapCut and Snapseed win the phone-first, social questions; DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Lightroom answer the desktop-grade ones. The board mixes both because the assistants do, sorting by job rather than by app store category.

The surface fell in line

In the first snapshot the chat models led with CapCut while Google's AI Overview, asked for the best video editor, crowned Splice instead. The gap has stayed closed since, and this month the Overview splits by job the way the chat models do: CapCut for the social and mobile questions, DaVinci Resolve when the question is desktop-grade editing. One of the sharper surface-versus-model splits from the first snapshot is gone. See the AI index for a divergence that moved the other way.
