Product: Gensiv — Become the brand AI recommends

---

Gensiv tracks how six AI engines (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude) answer the questions your buyers ask, and whether those answers mention your brand, your competitors and your website.

The Gensiv API gives you read access to the same data you see in the dashboard, so you can use it in your own reports, dashboards, data warehouse or AI assistant.

## What you can do [#what-you-can-do]

* **Report on visibility.** Get visibility, share of voice, average position and sentiment for your brand and every tracked competitor, for any date range and engine.
* **Build dashboards.** The daily metrics endpoint returns one flat row per day, engine and company, which you can load into a spreadsheet, data warehouse or BI tool.
* **Audit sources.** See which domains and pages AI engines cite when they answer your prompts.
* **Inspect individual answers.** List each AI response with the competitors it named and the sources it cited.
* **Compare prompt groups.** Split any metric by topic, tag, funnel stage or branded versus non-branded prompts.
* **Find Reddit threads.** List the Reddit threads AI engines cite and new threads where your brand could join the conversation, with each subreddit's rules on AI comments and promotion.
* **Act on lost prompts.** Read the action plan for each prompt a competitor wins, and the AI-written articles for a brand.
* **Follow changes.** List alerts for visibility drops, competitor overtakes and new sources citing a rival.
* **Measure AI traffic.** Get visits, key events and revenue from AI assistants per day, from the brand's Google Analytics 4 property.

## Before you start [#before-you-start]

The API is included in every paid plan: every **Pro** tier and **Enterprise**. API keys belong to a workspace, and a key can read every brand in that workspace. The API is read-only: you manage brands, prompts and competitors in the Gensiv app.
