What is Autessa Visibility?
Autessa Visibility is AI search visibility software for marketing, brand and growth teams. You add your brand, its aliases and competitors, then track the unbranded questions buyers ask AI assistants and the keywords they search. Every answer is scored in the app for mentions, position, share of voice and citations, sentiment is scored by AI, and the results roll up into dashboards, alerts, progress reports and an Advisor that recommends what to publish and where to get cited. Browser workflows automate the rest of your competitive monitoring.
Every major engine
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google, Claude and Gemini, each with live web search.
Honest scores
Computed from the answer text, never by an AI, with branded prompts left out.
Real change only
Progress tested at 95% confidence, so noise is never reported as a win.
Start with no keys
ChatGPT and Google work out of the box; bring your own keys later.
What makes it different
Built to tell you the truth about your AI visibility
AI answers vary from run to run, and most trackers report that noise as progress. Visibility is built around honest measurement, then goes further: it explains why you lost an answer, catches narrative shifts early and automates the web checks around it.

Visibility score, share of voice and position
Every metric in Autessa Visibility is computed deterministically from the answer text, so an AI never grades its own homework: visibility, share of voice, average position, citation coverage and citation share.
Read more →Answer change tracking
Answer change tracking compares each check with the previous one for the same prompt and engine and flags when you enter, drop out, move up or down, or a competitor appears.
Read more →Unbranded prompt guard
Autessa Visibility flags branded and head-to-head prompts and leaves them out of every score, because a question that names you always gets an answer about you.
Read more →AI competitor discovery
AI competitor discovery reads the answers engines gave and lists the brands they recommend that you do not track yet, so your benchmark matches what buyers really see.
Read more →Lost answers and how to win them
“Who wins when you don’t” lists the competitors named in answers that skip you, and each answer opens to an AI analysis of why others were chosen and how to win it.
Read more →Gap sources
Gap sources are the sites AI engines cite in answers that name a competitor but not you, which makes them the first places to get listed, reviewed or quoted.
Read more →Early awareness alerts
Early awareness compares the last week with the four weeks before it and raises alerts by severity when sentiment, visibility, engines, competitors or sources move more than normal.
Read more →Sentiment themes
Sentiment themes read every sentence that names you and sum up what AI answers praise you for and what they criticize, so you know which story to reinforce or correct.
Read more →Narrative shift detection
Narrative shift detection compares recent answers with the baseline period and names what changed in how AI describes you: new claims, new criticisms or repositioning.
Read more →Executive briefing
The executive briefing writes a one-page summary for leadership from this week’s numbers, alerts and narrative, which you copy as Markdown or download.
Read more →Progress and significance testing
Progress shows every metric period by period from your first check, and marks a change as real only when it beats normal answer-to-answer variation at 95% confidence.
Read more →Timeline events and impact
Timeline events pin what you shipped to the trend charts and compare visibility in the week before and after, telling you if the move was real, normal variation or too early to tell.
Read more →Visibility Advisor and AI briefing
The Visibility Advisor is a chat grounded in your last 30 days of scored checks that answers questions, recommends what to publish and where to get cited, and can add prompts to track.
Read more →Browser workflows
Browser workflows run any repeatable web task, written as plain-English steps, in a real server-side browser and return structured data, with templates for pricing, reviews, SERPs and mentions.
Read more →Draft a workflow with AI
Draft with AI turns a one-line goal like “every Monday, capture competitors’ plans and prices” into a complete workflow with steps, output fields and a schedule.
Read more →Set up from your website

What the numbers mean
How is AI visibility measured?
Every metric in Autessa Visibility has one plain definition. Sentiment is the only one scored by AI; the rest are computed in the app from the answer text.
- Visibility
- Share of answers that mention your brand or an alias. Branded and head-to-head prompts are excluded so it can’t be inflated.
- Share of voice
- Your mentions ÷ all mentions of tracked brands (you plus competitors) in the same answers.
- Avg. position
- When mentioned, your order among the tracked brands named in the answer (1 = named first). Lower is better.
- Sentiment
- 0 to 100 score of how answers portray you (about 55 is a neutral listing, 61+ is positive), averaged over answers that mention you.
- Citation coverage
- Share of answers whose cited sources include your domain.
- Citation share
- Your domain’s citations ÷ all citations across answers.
- Gap sources
- Sites cited in answers that name a competitor but not you: the first places to get listed, reviewed or quoted.
- Avg. Google rank
- Average organic position of your domain where it appears in Google’s top 10.

FAQ
Questions about AI search visibility and Autessa Visibility
What is Autessa Visibility?
Autessa Visibility is AI search visibility software. It asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini the questions your buyers ask, checks Google for your keywords, and measures how often each engine mentions, ranks, cites and praises your brand against your competitors. It also runs plain-English browser workflows, like competitor pricing checks, on a schedule.
Does it work out of the box?
Yes. Enter your website and Autessa drafts your brand profile, competitors, topics and buyer questions, then starts your first checks, with ChatGPT and Google working before you add a single key. From there you shape it to how your team works in Autessa: your own prompts and topics, competitors, alerts, briefings and browser workflows.
What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
Generative engine optimization (GEO), also called answer engine optimization (AEO), is the work of getting your brand mentioned and cited in AI-generated answers. You cannot improve what you cannot measure, so GEO starts with tracking: which prompts mention you, which competitors win instead, and which sources the engines cite. That is what Autessa Visibility measures.
Which AI engines does Autessa Visibility track?
It tracks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google, Claude and Gemini. ChatGPT works with no setup through Autessa’s GPT model with live web search, or through your own OpenAI key; Perplexity (Sonar), Claude (with web search) and Gemini (with Google Search grounding) run on your own keys; Google keywords are checked with a live web search for the top 10 organic results.
How is AI share of voice calculated?
Share of voice is your mentions divided by all mentions of tracked brands (you plus your competitors) in the same answers. Visibility is the share of answers that mention you or an alias, and average position is your order among the tracked brands named in an answer, where 1 means named first.
Does an AI decide whether my brand was mentioned?
No. Mentions, position, citations and Google rank are computed in the app with whole-word matching on the answer text, never by an AI. AI is used only for things that need judgment, such as the 0 to 100 sentiment score, themes, briefings and recommendations, and it always works from numbers the app computed first.
Why are some of my prompts “not counted”?
Prompts that name your brand, and head-to-head “A vs B” prompts that name a tracked brand, are left out of every score. A question that names you always gets an answer about you, so counting it would inflate your visibility. Open questions like “best tools for …” measure whether engines recommend you on their own.
How do I know whether a visibility change is real?
Autessa Visibility tests it. AI answers vary between identical runs, so the Progress page uses a two-proportion test at 95% confidence and marks a change as real only when it is bigger than normal variation, and as “too few checks to tell” when there is not enough data.
Do I need API keys to start?
No. With no setup, ChatGPT is estimated by Autessa’s GPT model with live web search and Google is checked with a free live search. Add your own OpenAI, Perplexity, Anthropic or Google AI Studio key when you want every engine on its official API, billed by your provider.
Are my API keys safe?
Yes. Keys are checked with the provider and then stored as sealed Autessa Secrets: nobody can read them back, the AI never sees them, and they are only ever sent to the provider they belong to.
What are browser workflows?
Browser workflows are web tasks you describe in plain English, such as “capture every plan and price on this pricing page.” A browser agent runs them in a real server-side browser on demand, daily or weekly and returns structured data. It never enters passwords, pays or posts for you, and it reports sites that block automated browsers instead of trying to get around them.
How often are checks run?
As often as you choose per prompt: manually, daily or weekly. Scheduled runs start each morning, most checks finish in under a minute, and browser workflows in a few minutes.
