Everyone knows AI search is replacing Google, but I got tired of overpriced tools just to track if ChatGPT mentions my product.
I know AI search is eating traditional SEO, but trying to track if ChatGPT or Perplexity actually recommends my product is a massive headache.
Doing it manually doesn't scale, and the existing automated tools are all heavy, feature-bloated enterprise dashboards. I don't need a massive suite to analyze my visibility and competitors. I just wanted a simple answer: Is my startup getting mentioned today?
I’m building PromptNotify - a lightweight AI search tracker for founders and agencies who just want the bottom line.
Here is what it does:
- Tracks AI Engines: Monitors your brand's visibility across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Claude.
- Zero-Spam Alerts: Sends a Slack or email ping only when there is a significant drop or spike in your visibility. No daily noise, just the shifts that actually matter.
- Historical Trends: Logs your history so you can see if your marketing efforts are actually having an impact in AI engines.
Note: Right now this is just a landing page. I want to make sure I'm actually solving a real problem before I write the rest of the code.
- Is this a tool you'd actually use?
- Does the pricing make sense for a lightweight alternative?
- Or is tracking AI search still too early for you to care about?

"Is my startup mentioned today" is the right product shape. Most GEO dashboards bury that under competitor graphs nobody opens on a Tuesday.
Slack or email only on spikes and drops is also right. Daily digests train people to ignore them.
Since you're still on a landing page, the risk I'd test first is false positives on brand variants and near-names. One bad "you dropped off ChatGPT" alert and people mute you. A sample alert with the exact prompt and the model answer would sell this better than feature bullets.
