Stop guessing why AI says what it says. v1.11 reveals the sources behind AI responses - Reddit communities, YouTube channels, e-commerce platforms, authority sites - and gives you the tools to influence them.
Until now, AI visibility tools answered one question: "Is my brand mentioned?" That's not enough anymore. You need to know where AI gets its information. Which Reddit threads is it reading? Which YouTube videos does it trust? Which e-commerce platforms does it recommend? Which authority sites shape its perception of your brand? Because once you know the sources, you can influence them. This is the foundation of effective Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) - understanding and optimizing for how AI engines gather and present information about your brand.

v1.11 is built on this principle. Four intelligence modules that reverse-engineer AI knowledge - showing you exactly where to focus your efforts.
Traditional AI visibility tracking works backwards. You see the output (a mention), but not the input (why AI chose to mention you). v1.11 flips this. Instead of just monitoring AI traffic analytics, we reveal the underlying sources that drive those mentions.
Before v1.11 | After v1.11 |
"I'm mentioned 60% of the time" | "I'm mentioned because r/saas and TechCrunch cite me" |
"Competitor X beats me" | "Competitor X dominates because they're on 3 YouTube channels I'm not" |
"AI recommends my product" | "AI recommends my product from Amazon but never from my direct site" |
"AI describes me positively" | "AI calls me 'affordable' when my positioning is 'premium'" |
This is the difference between monitoring and intelligence.

Reddit threads, YouTube videos, and community discussions are becoming primary AI sources. When a user asks ChatGPT "best project management tool for startups," it doesn't just pull from corporate websites. It pulls from r/startups discussions, YouTube comparisons, Hacker News threads. Social proof is becoming AI proof.
Old Playbook | New Reality |
Publish blog posts | Get mentioned in Reddit threads |
Build backlinks | Get cited on YouTube |
Optimize for keywords | Become the answer in community discussions |
A single authentic Reddit thread can generate more AI citations than a year of content marketing.

Communities: Reddit, Hacker News, Stack Overflow, Quora, Product Hunt, Discord
Video & Social: YouTube, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, TikTok For each platform, you see which specific communities, channels, or accounts are being cited - not just "Reddit" but "r/productivity with 47 citations, average position 2.3, primarily cited by Perplexity."
Community | Citations | Avg Position | Top Provider |
r/productivity | 47 | 2.3 | Perplexity |
r/saas | 23 | 4.1 | ChatGPT |
YouTube/@MKBHDTech | 18 | 1.8 |
Different AI providers trust different communities. Perplexity heavily cites Reddit, while ChatGPT has different preferences. Gemini favors YouTube. Knowing which provider cites which community shapes where you invest your time.

Social Intelligence identifies prompts where competitors get cited from social sources but you're absent. If r/projectmanagement consistently cites Notion and you're not mentioned there, the opportunity isn't another blog post - it's authentic engagement in that specific community.
**The insight:** A 50,000-member subreddit that Perplexity never cites is worthless for AI visibility. A 5,000-member subreddit that Perplexity cites constantly is gold. Social Intelligence shows you which is which.

When someone asks "best wireless earbuds," AI recommends products and where to buy them.
"You can find the Sony WH-1000XM5 on Amazon for $349 or at Best Buy for$329."
AI is making store recommendations. And those recommendations affect your margins, your brand perception, and your customer relationship.
If AI consistently recommends your product from Amazon but never from your direct site:
You lose margin to Amazon's cut
You lose the customer relationship
You lose upsell opportunities
Your brand becomes "that Amazon product"
Shopping Intelligence shows you which stores AI favors - so you can decide if that's the right strategy or if you need to change it.

If your direct site barely appears while competitors' direct sites dominate, they've optimized something you haven't. Now you know to investigate their product pages, their schema markup, their content strategy.
Every shopping prompt is analyzed for competitive gaps:

A "Very High" priority is a prompt where AI recommends competitors and ignores you. That's not a branding problem - it's a visibility problem you can fix.
On any competitor page, you now see which of their products AI recommends and from which stores. Understand their product-level visibility, not just brand-level. If their flagship product appears from 5 different stores while yours only appears from Amazon, that's a gap worth investigating.
AI platforms weigh authority. A link from a site AI cites constantly is 10x more valuable than a link from a site AI ignores.
Backlink Opportunities identifies the difference. Understanding the distinction between sources and citations is crucial - sources are where AI finds information, citations are how it attributes that information.
Every source in every AI response is extracted and analyzed. For each source, you see your presence versus competitors:
TechCrunch cites your competitors but not you? Forbes mentions them but not you? Those are priority targets - not for SEO, for AI visibility.

Prioritize sources that hit all three:
That's the formula for backlinks that actually move AI visibility.
You might have 70% visibility. But what is AI actually saying?
"Brand X is a decent budget alternative to \[Competitor\]."
That's visibility working against you. High mention rate, negative positioning.
Brand Perception measures the qualitative dimension - not just whether AI mentions you, but how it describes you, and whether that aligns with your positioning. This goes beyond basic GEO metrics like visibility scores to evaluate the quality and accuracy of AI-generated content about your brand.
What are the 5-10 key messages you want AI to convey? Define them, then track which land and which don't:

Now you know exactly which messages are landing and which need work.

Each month, a comprehensive analysis: sentiment score, alignment score, SWOT analysis, provider breakdown, theme analysis.
If ChatGPT describes you as "innovative" but Claude says "traditional," that's not random - they're drawing from different sources, weighting different signals. Brand Perception shows you these gaps so you can address the root cause, not just the symptom.
