Launched BrandScope AI on Product Hunt today — it tracks how 6 AIs mention your brand

Just launched BrandScope AI on Product Hunt today 🚀

It tracks how 6 AI assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Qwen, GLM, Kimi) mention your brand in their answers — weekly reports on mention rate, competitor comparison, and blind spots.

Why I built it: I ran real founder brands through AI and found them completely invisible — one even got confused with a same-name company. AI answers are becoming the new discovery layer, and most founders have no idea what they say about their brand.

Free sample report on the site. Would love feedback from this community!

    In your IH title and post, the hook that grabs attention is tracking coverage across all 6 engines (specifically including Qwen, GLM, and Kimi).

    On the live landing page subheadline, that gets collapsed down to just "OpenAI GPT Search, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews." You're dropping the non-Western/broader model coverage that actually differentiates the tool, and swapping Gemini (the model) for AI Overviews (the search feature).

    If someone lands from your launch posts expecting the full 6-model tracker, the hero copy makes it look like a standard 3-tool wrapper.

    The "confused with a same-name company" problem is more common than people think, we've run into look-alike name collisions with SocialPost.ai too, and it's usually not a monitoring problem, it's a consistency problem. The fix that's moved the needle for us is making sure our own site states positioning in the exact same wording everywhere, since LLMs tend to default to whichever source repeats a claim most consistently. Does your data show a founder's own site ever outranking third-party mentions as a citation source, or is that rare?

    the AI-citation angle from a thread I was in yesterday makes this doubly interesting, someone mentioned Reddit specifically gets cited 5-7% of the time regardless of question shape, and that they cite the same aged threads repeatedly rather than whatever's newest. so it's not just "does ChatGPT mention my brand" but "which specific threads is it pulling from and are they even accurate anymore"

    does BrandScope show which source the AI is actually citing when it mentions a brand, or just that a mention happened? feels like the actionable part isn't the mention rate itself, it's knowing whether the AI is quoting a five-year-old outdated thread vs something current, since those would need completely different fixes

      Great question — and honestly, you've put your finger on exactly where we're heading. Right now we show the mention, position, and context snippet (including the cited source URL when the model returns one) — so you can see what the AI is pulling from, not just that it happened.

      The "stale source" problem you're describing is real: we've seen models quote old threads or confused same-name entities. Making source-age/accuracy a first-class signal in the weekly report is something we're actively building toward — the fix for "AI cites an outdated thread" is genuinely different from "AI doesn't know you exist."

      If you'd like, I can run a sample report on your brand — happy to show what the source-level detail looks like today.

        would genuinely love that, thank you. brand's StareBrain (starebrain.vercel.app), curious if there's anything out there yet given it's still pre-launch, might just come back empty which would be its own useful data point

        and good to hear source-age is on the roadmap, that feels like the difference between the report being a vanity metric and an actual actionable tool

    The same-name company issue is particularly interesting. That sounds like a materially different problem from simply having low mention volume.

    1. 1

      Exactly — same-name confusion is a different failure mode than low volume, and it needs a different fix. Glad that resonated.

        If you’re open to continuing the conversation beyond the thread, what’s the best email to reach you at?

        1. 1

          Appreciate you saying that! And yes — happy to continue beyond the thread. You can reach me at

          .

          Quick context on the same-name point: it's actually why we built the competitor-comparison angle into the report. If you've got a brand you'd like to check, happy to run a sample report on it — no card needed, just want to see what the AI answers look like for you.

            Thanks! I’ve just sent it over.

            Looking forward to hearing your thoughts whenever you have a chance.
