AI Visibility

Am I on the list?

51% of B2B software buyers now start vendor research with an AI assistant, not Google (G2, 2026). The shortlist it returns becomes their "Day One List," and most deals go to a vendor already on it. Enter your URL and see whether you made the cut.

Drop in your website. We infer your category and ICP, map your buying committee, then ask Claude the exact question a specific buyer asks at a chosen journey stage, and show the ranked shortlist it returns. No sign-up.

We read your homepage to infer your category and ICP. You can edit everything before running.

The shortlist forms before you know the buyer exists

The old funnel started with a search and a click. The new one starts with a question to an AI assistant, and the answer comes back as a ranked shortlist. By the time a buyer talks to sales, the consideration set is largely locked, shaped by what AI models know and trust about each vendor. Miss that list and the deal is usually gone before a demo is ever booked. Getting on it and moving up is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) problem: how clearly AI understands your company, and how often the sources it trusts point to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the "Day One List"?
It's the vendor shortlist a B2B buyer gets when they ask an AI assistant for recommendations at the very start of their research, before they ever talk to a vendor. Most deals go to a vendor already on that list, so it's the new top of funnel.
How does this tool work?
Enter your website URL and we read your homepage to infer your category and ICP (you can edit them). We map your four-person buying committee, you choose which buyer to simulate and where they are in the journey, and we ask Anthropic Claude the exact question that person would ask. You see the question used and the ranked vendors Claude returns, with your brand flagged and ranked.
Why does this matter in 2026?
G2's 2026 research shows 51% of software buyers now start vendor research with an AI chatbot more often than Google, and Gartner projects traditional search volume to fall 25% as queries shift to AI. The shortlist AI returns increasingly decides who gets considered at all.
Why isn't my brand on the list?
AI shortlists are shaped by training data and the third-party sources models trust, like analyst pages, buyer guides, and comparison content, not only your own website. New or recently rebranded companies, and brands with little presence in those sources, often get left off. Closing that gap is what a deliberate AI-visibility (GEO) program does.
Does it browse the live web?
The shortlist reflects the AI's own trained recommendations, which is exactly what a buyer sees when they ask without enabling browsing. That makes it a clean read on your baseline AI visibility. The URL step does read your homepage, only to infer your category and ICP.
