Yoga Bar took rank 1 at 31.8% on AI Mode strength alone (41.9%), while The Whole Truth still leads ChatGPT at 30.2% and Gemini at 41.9%; engine disagreement defines this edition. Yoga Bar moved from rank 2 to rank 1 with 31.8% citation share, gaining 4.7 percentage points from the previous edition, but the gain is entirely concentrated in AI Mode where it ranked first at 41.9%. On ChatGPT, Yoga Bar ranks 3rd at 20.9%, and on Gemini it ranks 2nd at 32.6%, while The Whole Truth still leads both engines (ChatGPT 30.2% rank 1; Gemini 41.9% rank 1). True Elements was the biggest downward mover, losing 6 percentage points to 15.5% with the decline spread evenly across all three engines and no source-pool change providing an explanation. Slurrp Farm gained 5.3 percentage points to 10.9%, with the gain concentrated on Gemini where it reached rank 4 at 18.6%. The source pool expanded significantly with 61 new domains this edition, including nestle.in, haldirams.com, and itcportal.com, which bring legacy snack brand coverage into the citation mix alongside D2C-specific sources.

Yoga Bar took rank 1 at 31.8% on AI Mode strength alone (41.9%), while The Whole Truth still leads ChatGPT at 30.2% and Gemini at 41.9%; engine disagreement defines this edition.

The move

Yoga Bar moved from rank 2 to rank 1 with 31.8% citation share, gaining 4.7 percentage points from the previous edition, but the gain is entirely concentrated in AI Mode where it ranked first at 41.9%.

On ChatGPT, Yoga Bar ranks 3rd at 20.9%, and on Gemini it ranks 2nd at 32.6%, while The Whole Truth still leads both engines (ChatGPT 30.2% rank 1; Gemini 41.9% rank 1).

True Elements was the biggest downward mover, losing 6 percentage points to 15.5% with the decline spread evenly across all three engines and no source-pool change providing an explanation.

Slurrp Farm gained 5.3 percentage points to 10.9%, with the gain concentrated on Gemini where it reached rank 4 at 18.6%.

The source pool expanded significantly with 61 new domains this edition, including nestle.in, haldirams.com, and itcportal.com, which bring legacy snack brand coverage into the citation mix alongside D2C-specific sources.

What it means

This is a deeply fragmented vertical with the leader at only 31.8% and no brand approaching the competitive threshold; citation share here is highly sensitive to small absolute changes and rank positions can flip with single-digit citation count differences.

The Yoga Bar rank 1 result is an aggregation artifact driven by AI Mode: Yoga Bar and The Whole Truth lead different engines, and the overall rank reflects total citation weight rather than cross-engine consensus.

For operators, the engine-specific read is clear: AI Mode is Yoga Bar's domain while ChatGPT and Gemini favor The Whole Truth, meaning engine-targeted content strategy is the primary lever in this vertical.

True Elements' decline across all three engines without a traceable mechanism is the edition's cleanest sampling-variance candidate and should be watched for two more editions before treating it as structural.

The entry of legacy brands nestle.inhaldirams.comitcportal.com into the citation pool is a watch point: as traditional players gain AI search citation alongside D2C brands, the pool competition intensifies and niche D2C brands may face diluted share over subsequent editions.
