GitHub Copilot by engine
| Engine | Share of answer | Prompts named in |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | 6.2% | 1 of 16 |
| Perplexity | 12.5% | 2 of 16 |
| Gemini | 31.2% | 5 of 16 |
Engines disagree because they retrieve from different indexes. A brand strong on one engine and absent on another is normal — and is exactly what a single-engine check would miss.
