Paste each prompt into ChatGPT or Perplexity and check whether your brand appears in the answer. If it doesn't, that intent bucket is where you need content.
How to use it
- Enter your brand and your category. Write the category the way a buyer would say it out loud, not the way your positioning deck says it. “Project management software” beats “work orchestration platform” every time, because nobody types the second one.
- Add up to three competitors. Optional, but this is where the sharpest prompts come from. Leave it blank and the comparison questions use the generic word “competitors” instead of real names.
- Copy the list, either one group at a time or all of it at once as a plain list you can paste into a document or a spreadsheet.
- Run them yourself in ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini, and mark each one with whether your brand appeared, whether a competitor did, and which source the answer cited.
The list rebuilds as you type, so there is no generate button. With no competitors entered you get 29 prompts; adding three takes it to 33, because the comparison and alternatives groups fan out across the names you gave.
The five groups, and what a miss in each one means
The grouping is the useful part. Where your brand is absent tells you which piece of content is missing, and the fix is different for each group. Every prompt below is the literal output for a brand called Acme in project management software, with the competitor fields left blank:
| Group | Example prompt | If you are not in the answer |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery (7) | “What is the best project management software in 2026?” | You are not in the category consideration set at all. Usually this means no independent list or roundup includes you. This is the hardest gap and the one that matters most. |
| Comparison (6 to 8) | “Acme vs competitors: which is better?” | No comparison content exists that an engine can lift. Often your rival wrote the comparison page and it is their framing being quoted back at your buyer. |
| Recommendation (6) | “Is Acme worth it?” | Nobody outside your own site vouches for you. Engines lean on third-party opinion here, so your own pages rarely rescue this one. |
| Problem-solving (5) | “What’s the easiest project management software for non-technical users?” | You have product content but no problem-first content. This is the most fixable gap: it is a page you can write this week. |
| Alternatives (5 to 7) | “What are the best alternatives to competitors?” | You are missing from the “alternatives to X” pages that other people maintain. High-intent traffic, and almost entirely won off your own site. |
Run the whole list and the pattern usually shows up fast. Being present in comparison but absent in discovery is a different problem from being present in discovery but absent everywhere else, and the two need opposite responses.
How to keep the answers
A prompt you ran and forgot is worth nothing. Paste the copied list into a sheet and add four columns: the date, the engine, whether you were named, and which sources the answer cited. That last column is the one people skip and the one that pays: it tells you which specific pages the engine trusts in your category, and those pages are where your next mention needs to appear.
Rerun the same list on a fixed cadence, monthly is plenty, and always with the same wording. Changing the prompt between runs means you are measuring two different things. More on turning this into a repeatable measurement in how to measure AI search visibility.
What this generator does not do
- It does not run the prompts for you. There is no engine connection here at all. You paste them in yourself, which is slower and also the only way to see the answer your buyer actually sees.
- It does not tell you whether you are mentioned. It prepares the test; you grade it.
- These are templates, not measured demand. They are the shapes buyer questions take, filled in with your words. They are not scraped from real query logs and they carry no volume estimate. Anyone claiming to show you the real prompt volumes inside ChatGPT is guessing, and we would rather hand you a good checklist than a fake number.
- It does not know your product. It knows a brand name and a category string. If you have a feature nobody else has, add that prompt yourself.
- It sends nothing anywhere. No server call, no storage. Close the tab and the list is gone, so copy it before you do.
Reading the answers honestly
Two things will trip you up if nobody warns you. First, these engines are not deterministic: the same prompt can return a different answer an hour later, so one run is one sample, not a verdict. Ask three times before you conclude anything. Second, if you are signed in, the answer you get is shaped by your own history and location, and it is not what a stranger sees. Use a logged-out or private window when you actually want to know where you stand.
Worth knowing too: the engines disagree with each other far more than people expect. We asked four of them the same buying questions and found they overlapped on brands about a third of the time and almost never on sources, which is the whole do AI engines cite the same sources study. Practically, that means testing in one engine tells you about one engine.
When to run this
- Before you write a category page. Twenty minutes with this list tells you which question the page should answer, instead of guessing and writing the fourth version of a page that already exists.
- As a quarterly self-audit. Same list, same wording, four times a year. The trend is more informative than any single run.
- When a competitor launches something. Add their name and rerun the comparison and alternatives groups. You will see within a day whether the engines have picked up their launch narrative.
- Before a founder or sales call. Knowing what ChatGPT says about you, good or bad, is worth ten minutes when the person on the other end has probably already asked it.
Questions people ask
Are these the real questions people ask ChatGPT?
They are the standard shapes buyer questions take, filled in with your brand and category. Nobody outside OpenAI has the real query logs, so treat any tool that claims otherwise with suspicion. What this gives you is coverage: five intents, so you do not test only the flattering ones.
Why does it matter which group I am missing from?
Because the fixes are unrelated. A discovery gap is an authority problem that takes months. A problem-solving gap is a page you can publish this week. Treating them the same is how teams spend a quarter on the wrong work.
Should I add competitors?
Yes, if you know who they are. Real names make the comparison and alternatives prompts match what buyers actually type, and those two groups are where switching decisions get made.
Is my brand name stored anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is sent to us and nothing is written down.
My brand never appears. Where do I start?
Rule out the mechanical causes first, because they are quick and they invalidate everything else. Check that the crawlers can reach you with the AI Bot Checker, then check that your best page is shaped to be quoted with the AI Readiness Checker. After that it is an authority problem, and improving your brand visibility in AI search is the longer answer.
The other three tools
AI Bot Checker reads your robots.txt and tells you whether the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini are allowed in. AI Readiness Checker scores one live page out of 100 on the seven signals that make it quotable. llms.txt Generator builds a curated index of your best pages, with an honest note on whether it is worth doing.
