In simple English

This tool checks how often AI search engines mention your brand. It runs on your own computer or server and stores all data in a local file. You pay the AI providers directly for the searches it performs. It requires your own API keys for the engines you want to check. You can view the results in a web browser or through an assistant connected via MCP.

What it is

An open-source, self-hosted AI visibility tracker written in Go that uses a SQLite database. It queries major AI engines and search assistants to measure brand presence, competitor rankings, and citation sources.

What it is good for

Founders and marketers who want to track how artificial intelligence search engines talk about their product without sending their data to a third-party analytics service.

Good
  • Runs as a single binary file with no external database required.
  • Includes a built-in server for AI assistants using MCP.
  • All tracked answers and metrics stay in your own local SQLite database.
Watch for
  • Requires obtaining and paying for your own provider API keys or scraping accounts.
  • Some tracked engines rely on third-party scrapers that may break if the target sites change.
  • Pre-release software with active development and potential breaking changes.
Replaces

manual brand searches in AI chat interfaces and commercial closed-source AI visibility SaaS platforms

Works well with

Claude Code or Claude Desktop for reading visibility data through the built-in assistant server
