Background & analysis
On November 10, 2026, the AI section of DEV Community published a study looking at the external sources that AI search relies on when answering local service recommendations in Mexico. Alongside the findings, the team released a dataset and an open-source guide.
The Spanish-language source explains the motivation: when a user asks something like "who is the best dentist in Monterrey?", the AI does not invent an answer. Instead, it searches, reads a handful of sources, and assembles a list. What the researchers wanted to establish was which sources those actually are.
For the measurement, they asked an AI assistant with web search capability for recommendations of dentists, restaurants, gyms, auto repair shops, and labor lawyers across three cities: Monterrey, Mexico City, and Guadalajara. The requests were run in two separate passes during November 2026, producing 24 responses, and the team counted which websites were cited in each answer.
No follow-up developments appear in the available reporting, so the story currently stands at the point where the dataset and open-source guide have been made public.

Heat counts how many independent sources covered a story in the last 48 hours: one source counts once no matter how many posts it published, decaying with a 24-hour half-life. What ranks first is what many people are talking about.
