Qwairy v1.11: Where AI Gets Its Information About Your Brand

Nicolas Ilhe8 min read
Product Updates

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.

v1.11 is built on this principle. Four intelligence modules that reverse-engineer AI knowledge — showing you exactly where to focus your efforts.


The Shift: From Outputs to Inputs

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.

Before v1.11After 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.


Social Intelligence: AI Cites Conversations, Not Just Websites

Social Intelligence Dashboard

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.

Social Opportunities

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.

Shopping Intelligence 2.0: AI Picks Stores, Not Just Products

Shopping Intelligence Dashboard

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.

Why This Matters More Than You Think

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.

Shopping Opportunities

Every shopping prompt is analyzed for competitive gaps:

Shopping Opportunities

PriorityMeaning
Very High
Direct competitors cited, you absent
High
Multiple competitors present, you missing
Medium
Indirect competitors dominating

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.

Competitor Products

Competitor Products Analysis

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.

Source Extraction

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.

  • Citation history — Every prompt where this source appears
  • Provider breakdown — Does ChatGPT cite it? Perplexity? Claude?

  • Competitor analysis — Who else gets cited from this source?
  • Marketplace availability — All platforms offering links, sorted by price
  • Brand mention check — Does this source already reference you?

Prioritize sources that hit all three:

  1. High AI citation frequency — AI actually uses this source
  2. Competitor presence, you absent — Gap you can close
  3. Available at good price — Practical to acquire

That's the formula for backlinks that actually move AI visibility.


Brand Perception: How AI Describes You

Brand Perception Dashboard

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.

Define Your Attributes

What are the 5-10 key messages you want AI to convey? Define them, then track which land and which don't:

Define Brand Attributes

AttributeAI Status
"Enterprise-grade security"
Aligned — AI mentions this consistently
"Easy to implement"
Partial — mentioned by some providers
"24/7 customer support"
Missing — AI never mentions this

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

Monthly Snapshots

Monthly Perception Snapshots

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.
