For research institutions

RankmyAI — what we can mean for research institutions

RankmyAI is the world’s largest independent AI directory and helps research institutions understand how the global AI landscape is evolving. We track, rank and analyse more than 56,000 AI tools using objective data such as website traffic, user reviews and investment activity. This gives institutions a reliable, up-to-date and fully independent overview of developments in artificial intelligence worldwide. By making complex information accessible and understandable, our platform adds direct value to academic research and institutional innovation.

What we do

We offer a clear and structured understanding of which AI tools exist globally, how they develop and how the broader AI ecosystem is changing over time. Our data reveals patterns in adoption, growth and market dynamics, enabling institutions to deepen their research, enrich course materials and stay aligned with the latest developments in artificial intelligence. RankmyAI provides a neutral foundation that supports literature studies, academic analyses and exploratory research across disciplines.

What we offer research institutions

RankmyAI supports universities, colleges and research departments with independent, transparent and up-to-date AI information that can be used directly in research. We prepare tailored analyses and reports based on specific academic or institutional questions, ensuring that insights align with established learning goals or research needs. We also provide data bundles that give a clear and coherent overview of relevant developments within the global AI landscape. Because our insights are grounded in objective and easy-to-interpret data, academic professionals can work confidently with high-quality information.

Collaborations

Research institutions across different regions use RankmyAI data to strengthen their academic work. Universities in Norway and Denmark, along with institutions in Latin America, rely on our datasets for comparative analyses, literature reviews, methodological support and exploratory research projects.

How we work

Our dataset spans more than 100 countries and is continuously updated. The methodology behind our rankings is based on academic research at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and offers a transparent, consistent and reproducible way to evaluate AI tools objectively. This ensures that our insights are neutral, reliable and clearly interpretable, making them directly usable in research publications, curriculum development, academic reports and internal analyses.
