Dithered keyhole glowing in the dark, for an article on tools that reveal the AI answers your competitors get

Amaware is an AI visibility tool that shows you the exact answers ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews give about your competitors. It checks every prompt daily, names who gets cited in your place, and ranks what to publish next so buyers find you instead.

The short answer

Yes, these tools exist, and yes, you can see the actual answer text. Amaware, Profound, Peec AI, Otterly.AI, Semrush and Ahrefs each run your buyers' real questions through ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, store the answer, and show who got named. Amaware also writes the article that closes each gap, ranked by what gets seen fastest, and publishes it to your site.

Do answer engine optimization tools show you the exact answers your competitors give?

Yes, with one limit. AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) tools run a buyer question through ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, then store the full answer text. You see which brands it names, in what order, and which sources it cites.

What you never see is a competitor's private chat history or internal data. The tool asks the same public question anyone could ask. It is not a window into someone else's account.

Amaware captures the answer a logged-out person sees, once a day, for ChatGPT, Gemini and both Google surfaces. Perplexity runs on its API. A single answer is a sample, so daily checks matter more than a one-time look.

Is there a tool to track what competitors say about their products in AI search?

Yes. Amaware, Profound, Peec AI, Otterly.AI, Semrush and Ahrefs all run this kind of competitor tracking. Each asks a set buyer prompt daily, then shows which competitor the engine named, in what position, and what it said about them.

Profound's Trial tracks ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, 50 prompts a day, free for 7 days, with Enterprise priced after a demo and up to 9 engines (read 2026-09-30). Peec AI tracks 3 AI models a project, but its pricing page doesn't say which ones. Otterly.AI's Lite plan covers ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and MS Copilot for $29 a month, with Claude, Google AI Mode and Gemini sold as paid add-ons (read 2026-09-30).

Amaware tracks three of five engines, your pick of ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode or Perplexity, every prompt, every day. Free for 7 days. You can swap an engine any time. Starter plans at $97 a month.

Which AI SEO tools help you rank better in Gemini and Perplexity results?

No tool guarantees a ranking in Gemini or Perplexity. These engines write a fresh answer for each question, so a page that gets cited today can get skipped tomorrow. The honest work is tracking the real prompts daily and publishing what each one misses.

Amaware, Profound, Peec AI, Otterly.AI, Semrush and Ahrefs all track Gemini or Perplexity visibility in some form. Semrush's AI Visibility Toolkit is $99 a month for 1 domain and 25 tracked prompts, with no free trial (read 2026-09-30). Ahrefs' AI Visibility Index starts at $50 a month and covers both engines among six platforms (read 2026-09-30).

Amaware adds a step after the report: it writes the article ranked to close the gap and publishes it to your site.

How Amaware does this

We connect to your brand and ask the questions your buyers already ask. You watch the answers come in across your three chosen engines, ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode or Perplexity.

You see which competitor gets named instead of you, and which sources the answer cites. Every question that leaves you out becomes one thing to publish, a page, a video or a reply, ranked by what gets you seen fastest.

Amaware writes that article in your brand's voice. On Pro and Growth it publishes it to your own WordPress, Webflow, HubSpot or Next.js site. You can also connect Claude or ChatGPT over MCP and have your AI run these steps for you. We track when the engines start citing it.
