Is CHANI recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini?
CHANI is one of three apps tied for the most AI recommendations in our July 2026 study, and it is the strongest of them on Google Gemini.
Vandro Labs is a Generative Engine Optimization agency for astrology and spiritual wellness apps — we work on getting apps named inside ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini answers. We measured this app because knowing who the engines name, and why, is the job. What we do · Free audit of your app
The measured numbers
CHANI was named in 22 of 50 audit runs: ChatGPT 6 of 17, Perplexity 7 of 16, Google Gemini 9 of 17. All runs were conducted in clean, non–personalised sessions between 26 and 31 July 2026.
The catch behind the top spot
CHANI's lead is real but it is not steady. When we re-ran an identical daily-horoscope question on separate days, CHANI came back in only one run out of three — it is a high-frequency but unstable pick, present in more answers than almost anything else while never being a certainty in any single one.
This is the pattern we now expect from apps whose visibility rests on breadth of mentions rather than on ownership of one specific cited page. Being named across many different sources produces a high overall rate and a low per-run guarantee. If CHANI were a client, the work would be to convert that breadth into one or two sources the engines reach for every time.
How that compares
Three apps tied for first place in this edition — CHANI, The Pattern and TimePassages, each at 22 of 50 — followed by Co–Star at 19. Below that the numbers fall away sharply: fifth place was 8 of 50. The full category map is here, segmented by what the user was actually asking for.
How to read this responsibly. These are counts of engine outputs, not a judgement of the software. The engines are not testing these apps; they are summarising pages they can reach, and a large share of those pages are written by the apps themselves. An app absent from our runs is absent from our runs — nothing more.
