Why it matters
- AI assistants are displacing traditional search for many queries — brands that don't appear in ChatGPT or Perplexity answers lose discovery visibility even with strong Google rankings.
- Self-hosted and BYOK design eliminates vendor lock-in and data privacy concerns — all AI queries and results stay in your infrastructure.
- Covers 6 major AI platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Google AI Overviews, Grok) in one dashboard — no need for separate manual checks.
- Open-source foundation allows customization — add tracking for new AI platforms as they emerge without waiting for a SaaS vendor.
