See who AI recommends instead of you
Competitor Intelligence for the AI search era.
We monitor every competitor's visibility, citations and positioning inside AI engines — and design takeover plays against the slots that matter.
The problem
Your competitors might already own the answer
When AI engines recommend a category leader, the runner-up rarely gets named. Without competitor-grade intelligence, you can't see the slot you're losing or how to take it.
- Generative answers compress consideration to 1–3 named brands
- Competitive positioning happens inside the model, not on the SERP
- Most teams have no idea who's named alongside them — or instead of them
- Slot displacement is engineerable, but only with data
The solution

We monitor named competitors across the prompt panel that matters and design displacement plays for the slots with the highest revenue impact.
