For the past few weeks I’ve been curious about how brands show up inside AI responses (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude). Not talking about Google rankings just when someone asks AI for recommendations. While exploring this, I looked at platforms people discuss in this space like Peec AI, Otterly, Profound, AthenaHQ, Rankscale, Knowatoa, and LLMClicks. I wasn’t trying to promote anything I just wanted to understand how this whole AI visibility idea works. One thing I noticed quickly is that prompt wording changes the results a lot. For example: If I ask: “best platforms for tracking AI search visibility” I get one set of brand mentions. But if I ask: “how companies monitor brand mentions in AI answers” the list of suggested companies changes. Another interesting thing is that different AI models give different answers. ChatGPT might mention one group of brands, while Perplexity or Claude shows another. So I’m curious about a few things: Has anyone here actually seen real traffic or leads from appearing in AI answers? Do you think these platforms measure real authority, or just prompt variations? Is this still the early experimentation phase of AI search? Would be interesting to hear what others are seeing if you’ve tested this space. submitted by /u/Real-Assist1833
