👋 Hey Product Hunt!

I’m Johanna, co-founder of First Answer, and I’m excited to finally share what we’ve been building with you.

Over the past year, I’ve spoken with dozens of marketing leaders and founders, and I kept hearing the same frustration: “We don’t know what AI tools are saying about our brand, or if we’re even showing up.”

AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity are quietly becoming how millions of people discover brands and make decisions, but the answers they give are opaque, change constantly, and often prioritize competitors.

The problem: Traditional SEO tools don’t track AI-generated answers. Marketers are flying blind while user behavior shifts right under their feet.

Our solution: First Answer monitors how your brand is represented across the top AI platforms, so you can see exactly what’s being said, compare with competitors, and get clear, actionable steps to improve your visibility.

Here’s what you can do with it:

→ See real AI answers — just what users are actually seeing.

→ Compare with competitors — spot who’s being mentioned and where you stand.

→ Find opportunities — know exactly where to insert your brand into the conversation.

→ Act with clarity — get logical, data-backed steps to boost your presence.

Why now? Because AI search is growing at record speed, and visibility here will define the next winners.

We’d love for you to try First Answer and tell us what you think. 🚀

Special for PH: We’re offering an extended trial to everyone who comments today.

Thanks for checking us out, and I can’t wait to hear your feedback!

I really like this idea as an SEO trainer. Normal SEO tools show Google rankings, but they don’t show how AI platforms like ChatGPT or Perplexity talk about brands. That’s a big gap for marketers.

In today’s AI world, brand mentions are like the new backlinks. If your brand is not mentioned in AI answers, people may not even know you exist. First Answer is very useful because it shows when your brand is mentioned, how you compare with competitors, and where you can do better.

I will recommend this to the hundreds of students (I promise) I train, because learning about brand mentions in AI will soon be as important as learning about backlinks.

Johanna

@shahriardgm Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment! 🙌 You’re absolutely right, in the AI era, brand mentions are becoming the new backlinks. That’s exactly the gap we set out to fill with First Answer.

I’m here if you ever need any support. I’d also love to learn more about how I can help you educate your students around GEO, it’s a big mission for me and for First Answer to spread this knowledge and prepare the next generation of marketers for the AI search era.

Excited to keep in touch and support you however I can!

Congrats on the launch!
Really like the concept of tracking brand presence inside AI tools.
Does it let you track how competitors show up in AI tools as well, or is it mainly designed for monitoring your own brand?

Rodrigo Beckmann

@sohan_patil Thanks ! Really appreciate it.

Yes, you can definitely track competitors too. The platform shows not only how your brand is mentioned, but also how often and in what context your competitors appear across AI tools. That way you can benchmark side by side and spot gaps or opportunities. In fact, I’d say the competitor comparison is one of the strongest points, it really helps uncover where you’re ahead and where others might be gaining ground.

This is pretty sick - how does it work though?

Johanna

@aditha_jayasuriya Thanks!

First Answer monitors AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Bing Copilot.

We check the answers they generate for specific prompts and then show you:

When your brand is mentioned

How it’s being described (positive, negative, neutral).

Which links the AIs are using as references.

Who your competitors are in the same answers.

On top of that, the platform delivers an Action Plan, with clear steps on how to improve your content and visibility in AI results.

It’s like SEO analytics, but built for AI Search and GEO (AEO, AIO) instead of Google.
