How winners are selected

  • All AI tools listed on AI PICKS are considered. We do not take entries, and there is no fee.
  • Products are ranked by editorial score (in Japanese), the same order as the category rankings on the site. Ties share a rank; if several products tie for first place, all of them receive Best in Category.
  • Best in Category is given in categories with at least 5 listed products, and the Excellence Award in categories with at least 10. A product scoring below 3.67 out of 5.00 does not win, even if it ranks first.
  • Best Made in Japan is chosen from products whose official website is on a Japanese domain or that our editors confirmed are provided by a Japan-based business.
  • Advertising, affiliate partnerships and listing plans are not part of the selection. Results are fixed with data as of 2026-10-11; later score changes do not change the awards.
  • Excluded from selection (73 products): Official website did not respond in consecutive checks (22); Not an AI tool we compare (1); Not enough evaluation data yet (provisional score) (29); Listing paused (20); Web Hosting | Hostinger: A general web hosting service; AI is not its main function.
