# Best AI Agent

> Independent ratings of AI agents, scored out of 10 on five weighted criteria per category. Updated 2026-10-08.

## How the scores work
- Each category has five or six weighted criteria with written rules for levels 1–5 (see /how-we-rate). In customer support, independent hands-on tests run by G2 carry the most weight (30%).
- Scores come from public documentation, pricing pages, security pages, independent review platforms and benchmarks. Vendor performance claims never count. No hands-on testing yet.
