  • which prompt was asked, on which engine and when
  • whether your brand was mentioned, and its position and sentiment
  • the other companies the answer named, with their position and sentiment
  • the sources the answer cited, in order

Two filters help you find answers worth acting on:

ParameterReturns
brandMentioned=falseAnswers that leave your brand out.
competitorId={id}Answers that name that tracked competitor.

Combine them to see the answers where a competitor is recommended and you are not:

curl "https://api.gensiv.com/v1/brands/$BRAND_ID/responses?brandMentioned=false&competitorId=$COMPETITOR_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GENSIV_API_KEY"

competitorId is null for companies the answer named that you do not track as competitors. They are useful for finding competitors you have not added yet.

The full answer text is not included in the API. You can read answers in the Gensiv dashboard.

Sources

AI engines often cite web pages to support their answers. Gensiv records every cited URL and its domain.

Pages that AI engines cite often are good places to be mentioned. If a domain is cited in answers where your competitors appear and you do not, it is a strong candidate for outreach, guest content or a listing.

Reddit opportunities

GET /brands/{brandId}/reddit/opportunities lists Reddit threads related to your brand:

TypeMeaning
aiThreads AI engines cited when answering your prompts.
outreachRecent threads where your brand could join the conversation.

status reflects what your team did with the thread in Gensiv: new, saved, dismissed, drafted or posted.
