AEO Mantis is an AI visibility monitoring platform. It tracks when and how AI engines mention or cite a brand in their answers, and it measures that presence against named competitors. Covered engines are ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode and Bing Copilot.
The company's stated reasoning is that buying research is moving into AI answers, where a missed recommendation leaves no impression, click or analytics row. AEO Mantis positions itself as a measurement instrument for that surface, with an action layer of content and audits for closing the gaps it finds.
Users choose the prompts that matter to their business, such as comparison, category, trust and product questions. AEO Mantis runs them against the AI platforms on a schedule, stores the full answer text and every cited source, and turns that into citation rate, brand-mention rate, sentiment and competitor share of voice.
Because AI answers vary from run to run, the platform reports rates over scheduled runs instead of single snapshots. Any figure can be opened to the stored answer behind it. Each prompt can also be targeted to a language and region, so results reflect what buyers see in their own market.
The monitoring dashboard shows mention rate, citation rate, share of voice and sentiment, with a Visibility by Topic view and a ranked list of the domains AI platforms cite. A competitor view identifies battleground prompts where rivals win, and a prompt library organizes questions by topic, locale, intent and funnel stage.
For action, an opportunities feature recommends fixes, and a Content Kit generates articles, rewrites and comparison pages with references. The AI-readability site audit checks reachability, structure, metadata and citability, and scores findings by impact. Reports, CSV export on Pro and above, change history and team workspaces support ongoing workflows.
