AI Recommendation Project

Find out what AI assistants recommend, and make it your product

Customers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok and Google AI what to buy. See whether they pick you, which rival they pick instead, and the reasons they give. Then change the answer.

Weekly
runs, each question asked three times

The assistant answers before your listing is seen.

An AI assistant names a handful of products and explains why. If yours is missing, or a rival is first, the customer never reaches your page. Visibility tools tell you that you are losing. They do not tell you why, or what to change.

From what the assistants say to a tested fix

Simporter asks each assistant the questions your customers ask, records who it recommends and why, and reads the reviews and pages each assistant cites to find the customer pains behind its answer. We draft the claims, content and concepts that answer it, test them against the assistants and with your shoppers’ digital twins in minutes, and confirm finalists with real respondents when you need certainty.

How it works

01

Ask

A fixed panel of customer questions, tagged by purchase stage and need, goes to ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok and Google AI Overviews, with live web search on.

02

As your digital twins

Each question is asked by digital twins of your shopper segments, in each market you sell in, so you see the answer the person who buys actually gets.

03

Explain

We record share, position and sentiment for every brand named, then read the reviews and pages each assistant cites and tie its answer to the customer pains in them, and to the rivals it prefers.

04

Fix

Drafted claims, content and concepts, tested against the same assistants and scored by the same digital twins that asked the question, before you change a listing.

05

Watch

A weekly rerun, each question asked three times, with alerts in your portal, Teams or Slack when a recommendation shifts. Mark a fix shipped and see the share before and after.

What you get

Every engagement ships a defensible, build-ready deliverable, not a deck to debate.

  • Share of AI recommendation vs. the leading rival, per assistant, market and shopper segment
  • Position and sentiment for your product and each rival in every answer
  • The reasons each assistant gives, tied to the reviews and pages it cites
  • The reasons rivals win, as a feature and claim gap list per product
  • A listing audit: how readable each product page is to AI shopping assistants, with the fixes drafted
  • Drafted claims, content and concepts, with regulated claims flagged for legal review
  • An agent test of your current vs. proposed listing
  • A narrative report, not a dashboard: the biggest move first, who the assistants pick and why, where you stand by share, position, sentiment and stage, what they read, and one next step
  • Weekly watch with before-and-after tracking of every fix you ship

Frequently asked questions

ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok and Google AI Overviews, on the models customers use, with live web search on. For software and developer products we also run Claude Code and Codex on real tasks and record what they build with. Each assistant gets the same fixed panel of questions so results compare week to week, and a sample is checked against the consumer interface so you can see how far the two diverge.

Yes. On Enterprise plans questions are asked by digital twins of the shopper segments from your insight work, in each market you sell in. The same question gets a different answer for a budget-minded parent in the UK than for an ingredient-focused athlete in the US, and the report keeps them apart.

Yes. Any brand customers ask an AI assistant about: beauty, sports, retail, health, travel, financial services and more. The questions are built for your category.

Tracking is a monthly plan per product, with Brand and Enterprise plans for teams tracking many products and markets, and a free tier for one product. Projects, studies and tests are paid from prepaid credit packs; the AI Recommendation Project starts at $12,000. Plans and prices are on the pricing page.

One scan, four outputs. Brand and insights teams get the tracker and the slide for leadership. Innovation teams get the unmet needs behind each answer, ranked as a brief, and a pre-launch read on whether the assistants will recommend a new product on day one. Product managers get the feature and claim gap list and the listing audit. The CEO gets one number, its trend, and what a share point is worth.

We size it with the same opportunity sizing model used in the sprint: your share of the answer against category demand and the conversion the assistants drive, so the slide carries a dollar figure, not a percentage.

Visibility tools count mentions for a generic logged-out user and suggest content. This project asks as your shoppers’ digital twins, reads the sources behind each recommendation, drafts claims, content and concepts, and tests them against the assistants, the twins and real respondents before you ship. It sits beside your brand tracker and covers what the tracker cannot see.

AI answers vary run to run, so watch and project scans ask each question three times on every assistant and report a range. One-off scans ask once and are directional.

Yes. The Simporter MCP server connects to any MCP client with a personal token, so your team can run a scan, pull this week’s share and read the why without leaving the tool they work in. Weekly alerts can post to a Teams or Slack channel.
