Document Collaboration
Document collaboration is AI's clearest duopoly. Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace appear in virtually every discovery prompt across all four engines — Microsoft at 100%, Google at 98% — while Notion lags at 84% and DocuSign at 65%. The category's absent giants are striking: Zoho Writer, Miro, Adobe Acrobat Sign, and Nuclino all win more head-to-head comparisons than they lose (scores above the 59-point median), yet rarely surface in discovery prompts. Notion and Coda serve as kingmakers — appearing frequently enough to split attention but losing most head-to-heads they enter. This is a consolidated category at the discovery stage, fragmented at the evaluation stage.
