Splynx wins on Gemini.
Not gaiia.
20-query audit across ChatGPT, Gemini & Claude. gaiia is cited on 26 of 60 responses (43%). Claude ranks gaiia #1 on eight buyer questions — but Gemini names gaiia zero times out of 20, confirmed across two independent sessions.
This report was generated using Xtrusio, an AI visibility and demand intelligence platform that analyzes how companies appear across modern AI systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and other generative engines.
The insights in this page are generated using Xtrusio’s proprietary research and content intelligence framework.
gaiia owns the AI-native OSS/BSS category on the platforms that retrieve it — and is completely invisible on the one that doesn’t.
Claude ranks gaiia #1 on eight buyer questions and ChatGPT cites it on half the set. But Gemini — even with live web grounding active — never surfaces gaiia once across all 20 queries. Splynx fills that vacuum, named first on 12 of 20 Gemini answers. This is a content-distribution gap, not a product gap.

The Gemini Blackout
Where gaiia loses 80 percentage points vs Claude — on identical questions
On Gemini, gaiia loses every one of the 20 buyer queries. This isn’t a training-lag null — clean conversational Gemini actively retrieved and cited live sources (ISPBox, AEX, Whale Cloud, Splynx, Light Reading) and still never surfaced gaiia once. The exact same questions return 80% on Claude and 50% on ChatGPT. The gap is content distribution, not capability.
“What OSS/BSS platforms can automate these workflows end-to-end and even hand routine cases to AI agents?”
“Is there a single ISP platform built on one unified data model that can replace all of them?”
“Can a modern OSS/BSS provider get an ISP fully live in under six months?”
gaiia’s content exists. Claude retrieves it and ranks it #1 eight times. ChatGPT retrieves it on half the queries. But Gemini doesn’t — not because gaiia is new, but because its content hasn’t reached the comparison pages, roundups, and directories Gemini’s grounding pulls from.

Methodology
How we conducted this Xtrusio AEO/GEO Audit
This research is based on Xtrusio’s proprietary AI visibility analysis framework.
Recommendations
Prioritized actions to break the Gemini blackout and defend the Claude lead
- Get gaiia named in the third-party comparison and roundup formats Gemini’s grounding favors — “best OSS/BSS for ISPs” listicles, AEX-style comparison blogs, and SourceForge, Slashdot, and Capterra directories
- Publish a canonical, schema-marked “gaiia vs Splynx vs Sonar” comparison page targeting the exact buyer queries Gemini answers with competitors
- Pitch two to three industry roundup authors (Fierce, Broadband Communities, ISP-focused blogs) to include gaiia in their next platform comparison
- Seed third-party content tying gaiia to billing depth, self-service portal, and analytics — the modules where ChatGPT cites incumbents over gaiia despite gaiia shipping all three
- Publish capability-specific case studies (billing, portal, reporting) with named customer outcomes to build the citation surface
- Maintain the content velocity feeding Claude’s index, where gaiia already ranks #1 eight times — the moat to protect
- Quarterly Xtrusio re‑audits to track Gemini recovery and module-gap closure
gaiia owns Claude. Let’s win Gemini.
The blackout is a content-distribution gap, not a product gap — and it’s fixable.
