Prompt research

Discover the prompts that mention your competitors — not you

Most brands have no idea which questions users ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude about their category. Aivius researches those prompts, estimates how often they're asked, and shows you exactly where your competitors get cited and you don't.

Part of the 6-step GEO Revenue Engine
The problem

You can't win prompts you don't know exist

When a user asks ChatGPT "what's the best CRM for a 20-person startup?", your CRM either gets cited or it doesn't. But you have no visibility into:

  • Which prompts in your niche actually get asked
  • How often each prompt is asked (prompt volume)
  • Which brands AI models cite for each prompt
  • Whether your visibility is going up or down over time

Without this data, your GEO strategy is guesswork. You're creating content blind, hoping AI models will somehow find you.

A real prompt you're probably missing:
"What's the best AI tool to track how my brand shows up in ChatGPT and Perplexity?"
Estimated volume: ~2,400 asks/month
Top cited brand: Profound
Your visibility: 0%
How it works

From category to cited in three steps

Step 1

Enter your category & brand

Tell us your niche (e.g. "project management software") and your brand name. We research prompts across all major categories.

Step 2

We research high-frequency prompts

Aivius generates and validates hundreds of prompts users actually ask across 9 AI models, then estimates monthly volume for each using our proprietary model.

Step 3

Track visibility & prioritize

For every prompt, see your citation rate, the top-cited brand, and the volume. Prioritize the high-volume prompts you're losing — that's where GEO ROI lives.
