The Week 28 Productivity Software Report

A category-by-category reading of all ten Week 28 Productivity software markets, with assistant ranks and verified evidence.

Week 28 Is the Baseline

This report covers Cooper's first official Productivity software hub snapshot: ten category-relative Overall AIQ rankings measured across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity during July 6–12, 2026, under scoring version aiq-v2. Each section is its own market record, so scores and ranks stay inside their category rather than forming a combined Productivity leaderboard.

Week 28 is Cooper's first official tracked edition, so week-over-week movement is not yet available. Return for the next edition to see the first recorded movers.

The baseline has unanimous assistant leaders in Appointment Scheduling and Presentation Software. Project Management, AI Meeting Assistants, and Screen Recording split first-place assistant columns across displayed products.

Only Visual Collaboration (Whiteboards) includes a displayed product without a category rank, while the OKR Software Overall leader is not first in any assistant column. These are category-specific placement shapes, not raw-AIQ comparisons between markets.

How to Read This Report

Overall AIQ is category-relative and combines Cooper's Best, Most affordable, and Easiest to set up questions. The assistant columns show each product's published category rank inside that Overall scope. An em dash means there was no category rank in this scope; it does not describe assistant intent.

Each compact table shows the category's first three products. Sources counts distinct verified source domains for a product, while Mentions counts distinct cited pages verified as naming that product. The category totals in the prose cover the full category snapshot. Neither evidence measure is presented as the cause of a rank.

Rising AIQ is a separate measurement dimension and is not included in this Overall analysis. Readers looking for emerging-product results can open the separate Week 28 Rising AIQ report.

What Week 28 Establishes

Appointment Scheduling and Presentation Software establish unanimous leaders for the baseline. Project Management, AI Meeting Assistants, and Screen Recording establish split assistant wins across their displayed rows, while only Visual Collaboration (Whiteboards) contains a displayed absent rank.

OKR Software establishes a different shape: its Overall leader is not first in any assistant column. Later editions can be compared with these category-specific records, but Week 28 itself supports no movement conclusion and no cross-category raw-AIQ hierarchy.
