# AIAttention — Full Product Documentation for LLMs

> AIAttention (aiattention.ai) is an AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) analytics platform that measures brand visibility in AI-generated answers across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Qwen.

## What AIAttention Does

AIAttention helps brands understand how AI chatbots talk about them. When a user asks ChatGPT "What's the best project management tool?" or Perplexity "Which CRM should I use?", AIAttention monitors whether your brand appears in those AI-generated answers, what position it ranks, and which competitors are mentioned alongside it.

Traditional SEO tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, and Moz track Google search rankings. AIAttention tracks something entirely different: your brand's visibility inside AI-generated responses. As millions of users shift from Google to AI chatbots for product discovery, AEO monitoring is becoming essential alongside SEO.

## Core Features

### AI Attention Score (AAS)
A proprietary 0-100 metric that quantifies your brand's visibility across AI models. The score considers:
- Mention frequency: How often AI models mention your brand across all tracked prompts
- Ranking position: Where your brand appears relative to competitors (position-weighted using 0.75^position decay)
- Cross-model consistency: Whether visibility is consistent across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Qwen
A score of 100 means your brand is mentioned first in every AI response for your tracked prompts. The industry average for established brands is typically 20-40.

### Stability Index (SI)
Measures how consistent your AI Attention Score is over time using a sliding window of the 4 most recent monitoring runs. A high Stability Index means your brand visibility in AI answers is reliable and predictable. Available after 4 monitoring runs.

### Competitor Detection
Automatically identifies all brands and entities mentioned alongside yours in AI-generated responses. For each competitor, AIAttention calculates:
- Mention count across all prompts and models
- Estimated AI Attention Score (position-weighted)
- Relative ranking vs your brand
No manual competitor setup required — competitors are discovered automatically from AI responses.

### Citation Tracking
For AI models that provide citations (primarily Perplexity), AIAttention tracks which URLs and domains are cited when discussing your brand. This helps you understand which content pages influence AI responses and which external sources drive AI visibility.

### Multi-Model Monitoring
AIAttention tracks 4 major AI models that consumers actually use:
- **ChatGPT** (OpenAI GPT-4o): The most widely used AI chatbot
- **Gemini** (Google): Integrated with Google Search and Android
- **Perplexity**: AI search engine with real-time web access and citations
- **Qwen** (Alibaba): Leading AI model for international markets

Each monitoring run queries all selected models with your configured prompts, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the AI landscape.

### Custom Prompt Configuration
Define the exact questions your potential customers ask AI chatbots. For example:
- "What is the best CRM for small businesses?"
- "Compare Salesforce vs HubSpot for enterprise"
- "Which email marketing tool has the best deliverability?"
AIAttention tests each prompt against every tracked model to measure your brand's presence in relevant conversations.

### Historical Trend Analysis
Track your AI Attention Score over time with a time-series dashboard featuring:
- AAS trend chart with dual Y-axis (AAS + Stability Index)
- Competitor trend lines for comparison
- Per-run detailed reports with scores, prompt results, and raw AI responses
- Methodology change detection with segment break annotations

### Run Reports
Every monitoring run produces a detailed report including:
- Overall AAS and per-model breakdown
- Per-prompt results (mentioned/not mentioned, rank position, confidence)
- Competitor landscape for that run
- Raw AI-generated responses for full transparency

## How It Works
