Jellyfish Research: AI Shopping Reshapes Brand Competition

New research from Jellyfish, a global digital marketing company within The Brandtech Group, reveals that AI shopping assistants are dramatically reshaping competitive dynamics. The Share of Model™ tool analyzed AI recommendations across eight categories in the US, UK, Australia, and Singapore, spanning ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, and Amazon Alexa. Key findings show there is no single 'AI shelf'—different assistants recommend vastly different brands and products for the same query. AI can erase brand leadership, as seen in US fashion where the top brand held only 7% of the shelf across 120 brands. AI also ignores traditional price positioning, with men's suits in the UK ranging from £27 to £3,295 in one response. The company launched Shopping Optimization, a new capability within Share of Model, enabling marketers to analyze AI recommendations at the SKU level and optimize for agentic commerce.
