Answer change tracking

Autessa Visibility tracks changes in AI answers: every time a prompt is checked again on the same engine, the new answer is compared with the previous one. You see at a glance whether you entered the answer, dropped out, moved up or down, or which competitors were gained or lost, and you can open the exact wording that changed.

The problem

Averages hide the moments that matter

A visibility score that moves from 44% to 46% tells you little about what happened. What a marketer needs is the specific answer where a competitor replaced you this morning. Answer changes surface those moves one by one, so you can react while the cause is still fresh.

What you get

  • “Entered” when you appear in an answer that previously left you out, with your new position.
  • “Dropped out” when you disappear from an answer that used to name you.
  • Moved up or down, shown as the position before and after, for example #4 → #2.
  • Competitors gained and lost in the answer, shown as +Name and −Name.
  • A sentence-level diff of the wording: sentences added and removed that name tracked brands.
  • “You entered the answer” and “You dropped out” summaries inside the answer inspector.

How it works

How does answer change tracking work?

  1. A prompt is checked twice

    Once a prompt has been checked twice on an engine, the newer answer is paired with the previous check.

  2. Brands are compared

    The app lists the tracked brands present in each answer, in order, and compares them.

  3. A change badge is set

    Entered, Dropped out, moved up, moved down, or the brands gained and lost.

  4. Open the wording

    Click a change to open the answer, with the sentences that were added and removed.

FAQ

Questions about answer change tracking

How do I know when ChatGPT stops recommending my brand?

Answer changes flag it as “Dropped out” the first time a prompt’s new answer leaves you out. Early awareness also raises an alert when you drop out of several answers in a week.

Why do answers change at all?

AI answers vary between identical runs and change as the web changes. Answer changes show every move; Progress tells you whether the overall trend is bigger than that normal variation.

Can I see the exact words that changed?

Yes. Each change opens to the answer with the sentences that were added and removed, filtered to the sentences that name a tracked brand.
