Problem 😔

Marketers don't have a reliable way to track how often they and their competitors get recommended by AI agents like ChatGPT and Claude Code. Further, they do not know how their products can be recommended by them.

Solution 😃

1. We gather a lot of data 📊: when your company shows up, when competition shows up, the sources contributing to AI answers, and the exact prompts behind them.

2. Find and Copy content that AI likes 😃:

   Example: if you’re Brex, and Ramp has a blog titled “Best Business Credit Cards 2025” that shows up as a source for ChatGPT a lot, our platform makes it easy to clone it for Brex.

3. Find and reach out to sources that AI likes 🤝:

   Example: if CNET is a frequently cited source for a question like “What are the best laptops 2025?”, we automatically find the author of the blog and reach out to them on your behalf.

Why this matters now ‼️

~10% of searches on US Desktops now happen on AI Search (probably more).

Your customers are asking “what’s the best project management tool” or “best AI CRM” and getting answers that might not include you - even if you rank on Google.

Blue links are inherently archaic. The future of search is conversational.
