Why I Built AEO Mantis
AI search is becoming a discovery channel, but most brands still cannot see why ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and other AI platforms mention them—or ignore them.
I built AEO Mantis to make that process measurable. It shows how AI platforms describe a brand, which sources they cite, where competitors are winning visibility, and what a team can do next.
Instead of stopping at a single score, AEO Mantis connects metrics to the underlying answers and trusted sources. The goal is simple: help brands turn AI visibility gaps into grounded, citable content.
AEO Mantis is available now with a free plan: https://www.aeomantis.com/?utm_source=indiehackers.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=directory_backlinks&utm_content=indie-hackers-launch-post
The interesting question for me is what happens after a team discovers a visibility gap. Measuring where AI mentions you seems fairly straightforward; the harder part may be whether the resulting insight actually changes what the team does. Have early users been using it mainly to monitor visibility, or to make specific content decisions?
