24 alternatives to The AI 500

Hey HN, I've been trying to correct for one of the biggest difficulties with moving from SEO -> GEO, which is the lack of public data (in the same way that for SEO we had ahrefs/semrush/etc). To try and start fixing this, I've built a searchable database of 15k brands, across 500 different industries, with daily updates. Each morning, the tool goes out and queries 10k different prompts, and normalises the results to all the relevant brands.

    A few weeks ago I shared an early version of MentionedBy.ai — a tool we built to monitor how your brand is mentioned inside AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and other LLMs. We’re now officially live This started from our own frustration. Our startup wasn’t being mentioned in ChatGPT responses, even for queries where we were clearly relevant. Meanwhile, legacy or SEO-heavy brands kept showing up.
