AI answer tracking: every answer kept, in full

A percentage on a chart is a summary of something that was actually said. We keep the something: the full text of every answer, with its citations, the brands it named and the conditions it was collected under, searchable from your first day onwards.

What is stored with every check

Four things, kept together, because any one of them alone is hard to interpret.

  1. 1

    The full text

    As returned, not summarised. The wording is the evidence and paraphrasing it destroys the thing you came for.

  2. 2

    Every citation

    The pages the answer drew on, in the order the engine gave them, joined to each answer.

  3. 3

    Every brand named

    Yours and everyone else's, with where in the answer each one appeared.

  4. 4

    The conditions

    Engine, model, market and the moment of collection, so two answers can be compared fairly.

The thing nobody else advertises

Charts are a summary. This is the source.

We went through every feature page our four biggest competitors publish. Between them they advertise around forty things, and not one of them is keeping the answers. They show you dashboards. That is a reasonable product decision and it means their numbers arrive without their evidence — you are asked to believe the aggregate. We would rather you could open it, disagree with a sentiment rating and tell us we are wrong.

Nothing paraphrased.
The answer as returned. A summary of the evidence is not evidence.
Searchable and filterable.
By engine, by question, by whether you were named, by who appeared instead.
From day one.
Kept from your first run. History cannot be bought later, only started earlier.

The answers where you are absent are the useful ones

Most tools quietly bias toward the answers that mention you. That is the wrong half of the data.

An answer that names three competitors and not you is a complete description of how the assistant understands your category — which problem it thinks the question is about, which vendors it considers obvious, and what language it uses to separate them. It tells you what to write and who to be compared against. An answer that already names you tells you rather less.

So absent answers are kept in full and are as easy to read as the rest. Together with the pages each one cited they turn a share-of-voice number into a list of specific things to do, and when the picture changes you hear about it rather than finding out at the next quarterly review.

  • Absent answers stored too, and not filtered out of the interface to make a chart look better.
  • Conditions recorded. Engine, model, market and time, so a comparison between two answers is a fair one.
  • No retention cliff. Answers are not aged out of your workspace to save us storage.

Common questions about AI answer tracking

What people ask when they want to check our working.

What exactly do you keep?
The full text of every answer an assistant gave, the engine and model that produced it, the moment it was collected, the market it was asked from, every brand named in it, and every page it cited. Not a summary, not a snippet, not a sentiment label with the evidence thrown away.
Why does keeping answers matter?
Because every other number is an aggregate of them, and an aggregate you cannot open is a claim you have to take on trust. When your visibility drops eleven points, the useful question is what the answers actually said, and you can only ask that if somebody kept them.
Can I search the answers?
Yes, and filter them by engine, by question and by whether your brand was named. Finding every answer where a particular competitor appeared beside you is the kind of question that turns a dashboard into an argument you can win in a meeting.
How far back does it go?
To your first day and no further. Nobody can retrieve what an assistant said before you started measuring, and we will not pretend to. That is also the strongest argument for starting sooner rather than at the point you need the history.
Do you keep answers where I was not mentioned?
Yes, and those are frequently the more useful ones. An answer that named three competitors and not you tells you precisely what the assistant thinks the category is, and which framing you are missing. Discarding it because your name is absent would throw away the diagnosis.
Can I get the answers out?
They are readable and searchable in the interface, and the same records are exposed over our read-only API. API key issuance is handled by hand at the moment rather than self-serve, so ask us and we will sort it out.
