A full picture of what eight AI engines say about a brand, the sources driving each engine’s answer, peer comparison views, sentiment and theme trends, and change over time.
A topic in AIQ is a tracked entity – a brand, person, or theme – defined by a set of prompts and a set of peers, queried identically across all eight engines.
WikiAlerts watches the live Wikipedia edit feed for pages users add, emails subscribers as soon as a watched page changes with a diff view, and offers one-click revert for vandalism.
A Snapshot is a one-off comparison of how three AI engines answer four questions about a brand or person, useful for benchmarking, pitches, and ad-hoc diagnostics.
Three tiers: a self-serve SaaS tier starting at $99/month for in-house teams, an agency tier for PR firms managing multiple clients, and a custom enterprise tier integrated with advisory services.
AIQ polls each of the eight engines daily and stores the full response history. New topics return first results within 15-20 minutes.
Every URL ranking on Google for defined keyword sets across 500 cities, 69 countries, and 23 languages, plus SERP features, ownership classifications, peer benchmarks, and time-series movement.
Yes. AIQ supports screenshot, CSV, and JSON export of all platform data. MCP querying support for leading AI models is in development.
