Our analysis reflects what millions of people are asking AI Answer Engines every day.

Custom and real-world prompts

Pull from our dataset of real user queries to track visibility against the prompts your audience is typing into AI. Or, design and upload your own prompts, tailored to your brand, your products, and the topics you want to own.

Daily visibility runs

AI platforms don't return the same answer twice. We run every tracked prompt daily so your visibility score reflects your true average across all responses.

Answers straight from the source

Other tools pull AI responses from the API. We capture directly from the browser—what you see in Profound is what your customers see when they query AI.

Content optimization at every stage

Find the topics and prompts where competitors get more visibility and citations than you. Use Agents to create new content targeting those gaps, optimize what's already published, and track how your visibility moves.

Frequently asked questions

We query the front-end experiences that normal users see when they visit AI platforms: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Google Gemini, Grok, Amazon Rufus, Meta AI, and DeepSeek. We focus on front-end user experiences rather than API calls so you're getting results from the real websites.

You can track visibility scores and share of voice, brand sentiment and keyword themes, citation sources and their authority, and competitor rankings. You can also see how your presence shifts across time, regions, topics, and audience personas. All of this data is organized around the assets you configure in Profound—your brand, your competitors, and the topics you care about.

Each configuration allows you to track numerous assets, with many enterprises opting for additional configurations to accurately track different competitive sets. We're flexible and happy to assist with custom cases where you need to track multiple product lines or different categories.

Prompting works in three ways: you can auto-generate prompts from your brand and topic configuration, upload prompts manually, or pull high-volume queries from Prompt Volumes. Prompt Volumes is Profound's dataset of real prompts submitted to AI platforms by actual users, so you're tracking visibility against what people are genuinely asking.

Yes, you can modify or add prompts at any time in the tool.

Yes, Profound monitors and analyzes the responses generated by a RAG-based search approach from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, and Google AI Overviews.

Yes, you can export the raw data from Answer Engine Insights into a CSV file.

The number of prompts you can track depends on your plan. Starter plans include 50 monthly prompts, Growth plans allow for 100 prompts, and Enterprise plans have a tailored prompt tracking plan.

Start with Answer Engine Insights to find the prompts where competitors get cited and you don't. Take those findings into Profound's Agents to build and publish content targeting those exact prompts, then come back to AEI to track whether your visibility moves.
