We help global brands get cited by AI.
AI search is rewriting how customers discover brands. Aivius gives global teams the visibility, evidence, and playbook to show up inside the answer — across every major AI model.
AI search left global brands invisible. We're fixing that.
By 2026, more than 1 in 3 product searches started inside an AI answer rather than a blue link. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude are deciding which brands get mentioned — and which get left out of the conversation entirely.
That shift hit global brands hardest. Teams shipping from Europe, Asia, or Latin America into the US market suddenly found that their years of SEO work no longer translated into visibility. Worse, almost every AI visibility tool on the market only watched one or two engines. The other models that shape buyer decisions were a blind spot for everyone, including the brands that needed them most.
Aivius exists to close that gap. We monitor how AI models cite your brand, surface the prompts that matter in your niche, benchmark you against competitors, and translate the findings into concrete content fixes. We built the only platform that covers all nine major AI models from day one, because global brands cannot afford a partial view of AI search.
The global angle is not a marketing angle for us — it is a structural reality. When a skincare brand sells into the US, it needs to know what ChatGPT says about it to American buyers. When a US SaaS company wants to reach users in Europe, it needs to know what Claude and Copilot say about it to European buyers. No other platform gives you the full picture in one dashboard, because no other platform was built by a team that lives in multiple markets.
What "AI visibility" means to us
The probability that a relevant AI model mentions, cites, or recommends your brand when a real user asks a real question. Not a vanity score — a measurable signal you can move with better content.
- ✓ Measured across 9 AI models, not 1
- ✓ Tied to real prompts in your niche
- ✓ Benchmarkable against competitors
- ✓ Actionable through content fixes
Built in 2026, after watching great brands lose to AI answers.
Aivius was founded in early 2026 by a team that had spent the previous decade building SEO, content, and growth systems for global SaaS and DTC brands. We had watched our clients rank #1 on Google for years — and then watched those same clients disappear from ChatGPT and Perplexity answers almost overnight.
The pattern was always the same. A brand would dominate traditional search, invest in content, build authoritative backlinks, and then realize that AI models were citing a competitor they had never heard of. When they tried to fix it, they hit a wall: there was no way to measure AI visibility at scale, no way to know which prompts mattered, and no tool that covered the full range of AI models their teams cared about.
We built the first prototype of Aivius for our own consulting clients in March 2026. Within weeks it was clear that the problem was bigger than a single agency could serve. We incorporated in Delaware, opened the platform to early-access brands in May 2026, and shipped the full v1.0 release in June 2026 with coverage of all 9 AI models — the first platform to do so.
Today, Aivius is used by more than 500 global brands across SaaS, DTC, fintech, edtech, and travel. We remain a remote-first team with engineers, researchers, and growth operators across the US, China, and Europe — which is exactly the perspective that lets us cover the full AI search landscape properly. We measure success the same way our customers do: by whether AI models cite them when it matters. Everything else is a means to that end.
What we believe, and how we operate.
Four principles that shape every product decision, support reply, and roadmap item at Aivius.
White-hat GEO
We do not help brands manipulate, spam, or poison AI models. Our playbooks focus on earning citations through better content, clearer structure, and verifiable expertise — the same principles that made SEO sustainable, applied to generative search.
Transparent pricing
No "contact sales for pricing." No hidden credits. No surprise overages. Every plan, every limit, and every difference between tiers is published on our pricing page. If we ever change pricing, existing customers keep their rate.
Global first
Most AI visibility tools treat a single engine as the only one that matters. We treat all nine major AI models as equally important, because that is the reality for global brands. Coverage of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Meta AI, Amazon Rufus, and Apple Intelligence is a first-class feature, not an add-on.
Customer obsessed
We reply to every support ticket within one business day. We ship features based on what customers actually ask for, not what looks good in a launch tweet. If a feature request makes sense, it goes on the roadmap — and you can track it on our changelog.

Backed by angels from the SEO and AI industries.
Aivius is backed by a small group of angel investors who have built and scaled SEO, AI search, and global SaaS companies. We chose angels over growth funds on purpose — we want operators on our cap table who can pick up the phone when we hit a hard problem.
We are not announcing names publicly yet, but every backer has either founded an SEO tool, led growth at an AI company, or built a global brand themselves. If you are an operator who wants to invest, reach out.
Built for the brands other tools forget.
Most AI visibility tools were built for US-centric brands who only care about ChatGPT. Aivius was built for the brands that ship across borders — and that changes everything about how the product works.
Nine models, equally
Every other tool tracks one or two AI engines. We track 9 — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI, Amazon Rufus, and Apple Intelligence. This is not a "beta" feature or a roadmap item. It shipped in v1.0.
White-hat only
We refuse to help brands manipulate AI models. No prompt flooding, no citation fraud, no data poisoning. Our Terms of Service explicitly ban these tactics. If you want a shortcut, Aivius is not the right tool — and we are comfortable with that.
Prompt research, not just monitoring
Knowing your visibility score is step one. The real value is knowing which prompts to target next. Our prompt research engine surfaces high-intent questions in your niche that you are not currently cited in — and gives you a content playbook to earn those citations.
