# AI Intelligence — aiintelligence.com

> We battle-test AI tools and models on published task suites, marked blind by judges from
> three rival labs, and publish every score with downloadable receipts. Two scores per tool,
> never merged: our tested score, and the public's (app-store ratings across millions of
> reviews, count-weighted). Verdicts by Robert Prime (25 years building internet businesses;
> runs an AI-focused Amazon agency; Forbes Business Council). No vendor pays for placement.
