I asked 5 AI chatbots who I am

I build websites for other businesses. On 4 November 2026 I asked ChatGPT what my own website is. It said it couldn't find it.

So I gave five AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Grok) the same three questions about me and my business, and kept score. This is the first part of a series where I try to get my own business found by AI, from zero, and show every step.

There's a short video of the test too: watch the reel.

The three questions

1. 01Who is Hansraj Saini?
2. 02What is hansrajsaini.com?
3. 03Who can help my business show up in ChatGPT answers?

The first checks if the AI knows me at all. The second checks if it has actually read my website. The third is the one that matters for business: when someone asks for help, does it name me?

I asked each question in a fresh chat. ChatGPT was a temporary chat and Claude was incognito, so they had no memory of me. Gemini, Perplexity and Grok were my logged-in accounts.

Question 1: who is Hansraj Saini?

Nobody got this fully right. It's a common name in India, and that showed.

• ChatGPT listed four other people: an IT manager in Gurugram, a business partner in an LLP, local election candidates in Rajasthan and a doctor. None of them were me.
• Claude said the most notable match was "a researcher linked to IIT Guwahati".
• Grok listed a journalist, then a dentist, then me, as a software developer.
• Perplexity listed six people with my name. I was one of them.
• Gemini listed a folk singer first. Second was me: "a developer based in Jaipur… who runs a solo product studio (HS)".

Question 2: what is hansrajsaini.com?

This should be easy. It's my own website.

Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Grok all read it and described it correctly: a one-person studio in Jaipur that builds websites and apps and helps businesses get found on Google and in AI answers. Claude even quoted my prices from the site.

ChatGPT said: "I couldn't find a verified, indexed website at that exact domain." Instead it found an old portfolio of mine on Vercel, and said it couldn't be sure the two belonged to the same person.

I think I know why. I submitted my site to Bing about two weeks before the test, and when I checked on 1 November, Bing still showed zero pages indexed. My guess is that if Bing doesn't have my pages, ChatGPT's search doesn't either, while Gemini can lean on Google, which has had my site for a while. That's the first thing I'll test and fix.

Question 3: who can help my business show up in ChatGPT answers?

Zero out of five said my name. ChatGPT, Claude and Grok named other agencies. Gemini and Perplexity described the kinds of people to hire without naming anyone.

That's the question that brings in clients. Right now, AI sends them to someone else.

The scorecard

For each chatbot: who am I, my website, who can help.

• Gemini: partly, yes, no. Score 1.5
• Perplexity: partly, yes, no. Score 1.5
• Grok: partly, yes, no. Score 1.5
• Claude: no, yes, no. Score 1
• ChatGPT: no, no, no. Score 0

Yes = 1, partly = ½, no = 0. Gemini knows me best: it's the only one that described my actual work when asked who I am. ChatGPT barely knows I exist.

AI answers change from one chat to the next, so treat this as a snapshot of 4 November 2026. I'll ask the same questions the same way every two weeks and update the score.

What's next

Next episode: what I did on my site that made Gemini know me. After that I'll work on the other four one at a time, starting with Bing and ChatGPT, and show what changes and what doesn't.

Try it on your own business

Ask the same three questions about your business in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. If the answers are wrong or empty, start by checking what search engines and AI can read on your site with the free site check.

If you want me to run the full test and fix what's missing, that's what my AI search and SEO work is for.
