DESCOUT·The Record

Free AI audit · Any industry

Find out what AI tells people about your company.

When a customer, investor, or reporter asks ChatGPT or Perplexity about you, the answer is assembled from third-party sources you don't control — and nobody sends you a copy. The free audit shows you exactly what those answers say today, and what a kept record would change.

We run your company through ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity and send you what they get right, what they miss, and what they get wrong — with the sources those answers came from. No pitch.

Today it runs on the Abstract ecosystem — 160+ projects and founders, watched daily, each with source-cited coverage and a living dossier, published for people and readable by AI agents. Your industry is the next beat we're opening.

FAQ

Isn't this just AI-visibility / GEO?

GEO optimizes the content you control — about 9% of what AI cites. The other ~91% is third-party, which no GEO tool can author. We're the supply side they only measure.

Why not optimize our own site / use Profound?

Do — it grades your content. It can't change where citations come from, and they skew third-party. If AI cites a stale listing and a wrong thread, your website isn't the fix. We fix the upstream source.

Can't we do this ourselves / use Crunchbase?

Crunchbase is a static stub. DIY is 10+ hrs/week of monitoring, structuring, verifying and updating. The real alternative isn't "do it easily" — it's "don't," and random sources write your record instead.

Will AI actually cite us?

We make you the accurate, current record AI pulls from — being cited follows from being legible, but we won't promise a citation or a ranking.

How we keep it honest

The coverage is independent — paying keeps your record complete and current; it doesn't change what we conclude. We claim legibility, monitored while you build — not a ranking, not a citation. How we decide what to cover.
