Description

Friction AI serves as a visibility platform for artificial intelligence that monitors the responses of generative AI assistants—such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews—when posed with purchase-intent inquiries regarding a brand and its rivals. This platform evaluates brand awareness, visibility, sentiment, and the rates of recommendations on a daily and weekly basis, while also revealing the citations, sources, and mentions of competitors that contribute to each outcome. Businesses leverage friction AI to understand the reasons behind AI assistants favoring competitors in shopping, comparison, and key category queries, thereby enabling them to conduct structured experiments aimed at bridging those gaps. Additionally, the insights provided by friction AI empower brands to refine their strategies and improve their positioning in a competitive market landscape.

Description

tobecited provides insights into how brands are represented in AI assistants. We take your specific purchasing inquiries and evaluate them using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, tracking which brands receive recommendations and citations, while also benchmarking your presence against competitors that overshadow you. This process yields tangible outcomes rather than mere abstract metrics. Each response includes a direct quote from the source, allowing you to pinpoint the exact wording that led to a competitor’s recommendation in lieu of your brand, as well as the underlying reasons for this outcome. The initial audit is complimentary, requiring no credit card or sales interaction, and assesses all your questions across the four AI systems. Paid audits expand on the free version by providing detailed competitive analysis for each response, along with actionable strategies to address identified gaps—such as enhancements related to llms.txt, structured data, page titles, and FAQ sections tailored to your content. Additionally, ongoing monitoring involves re-evaluating the same questions on a weekly basis, enabling you to track any changes in your visibility in AI-generated responses over time.
