INDmoney led the Investing Apps movers at -5.6%, with Gemini and AI Mode retreating while ChatGPT held, a split-engine decline with no clear source-pool explanation. Groww held the lead at 88.9%, down 2.6% from the previous edition's 91.5%, with consistent rank-1 positions across ChatGPT (89.6%), Gemini (85.4%), and AI Mode (91.7%). Zerodha mirrored the decline at -2.6% to 86.1%. The biggest mover was INDmoney at -5.6% to 27.8%; the engine decomposition shows the loss is concentrated on Gemini (25%, rank 6) and AI Mode (20.8%, rank 7), while ChatGPT held at 37.5% (rank 5). Dhan also shed 4.9% to 30.6%, with Gemini (25%, rank 5) its weakest engine. Kuvera was the positive outlier at +2.5%, strongest on ChatGPT (20.8%). A large new source pool entered, including stockedge.com, screener.in, trendlyne.com, and fixed-income platforms wintwealth.com and goldenpi.com, expanding the context toward analytical and fixed-income content where INDmoney may be under-cited.

INDmoney led the Investing Apps movers at -5.6%, with Gemini and AI Mode retreating while ChatGPT held, a split-engine decline with no clear source-pool explanation.

The move

Groww held the lead at 88.9%, down 2.6% from the previous edition's 91.5%, with consistent rank-1 positions across ChatGPT (89.6%), Gemini (85.4%), and AI Mode (91.7%).

Zerodha mirrored the decline at -2.6% to 86.1%.

The biggest mover was INDmoney at -5.6% to 27.8%; the engine decomposition shows the loss is concentrated on Gemini (25%, rank 6) and AI Mode (20.8%, rank 7), while ChatGPT held at 37.5% (rank 5).

Dhan also shed 4.9% to 30.6%, with Gemini (25%, rank 5) its weakest engine. Kuvera was the positive outlier at +2.5%, strongest on ChatGPT (20.8%).

A large new source pool entered, including stockedge.com, screener.in, trendlyne.com, and fixed-income platforms wintwealth.com and goldenpi.com, expanding the context toward analytical and fixed-income content where INDmoney may be under-cited.

What it means

The top two remain in near-locked territory at 88.9% and 86.1% and week-to-week movement for both is well within sampling variance.

INDmoney's cross-engine drop on Gemini and AI Mode without a clearly correlated source-pool event suggests one of two explanations: either the new analytical and fixed-income domains entering the pool are not citing INDmoney alongside Groww or Zerodha, or Gemini and AI Mode have a different recency or source-affinity weighting that has shifted.

No single mechanism is clearly visible, so the INDmoney decline should be treated as probable variance rather than a structural shift unless it persists across the next two editions.

For operators, the entry of bond-scan and IPO-focused content including goldenpi.com, bondscanner.com, and ipomarket.in signals that the query set is expanding beyond pure equity-broker comparisons; brands that are well-cited in fixed-income and IPO contexts will gain citation share in future editions as these sources accumulate weight in the retrieval pool.
