A New York company has released a free tool that shows whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI answers mention your business, or send customers to rivals.
A company called AEOFast has launched a free checker that shows whether AI tools mention your business when people ask for recommendations. It looks at ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews in one place. The company announced it on November 4, 2026. Your first check needs only a brand name.
More people now ask AI tools which product to buy or which company to hire. The checker asks a set of questions written the way a buyer might ask them. It then reports what the AI answered.
If a location is known, the checker also adds local questions. That helps show whether a business appears in answers tied to a specific place.
The checker is free. Your first check needs no account and no website address. A free account allows up to 10 checks per day. Later checks let you watch for changes in mentions, competitors and cited sources over time.
The company aims the tool at businesses and agencies. A small business owner can use it to see whether AI answers point customers to them or to a competitor. The cited sources are a useful clue, because they show which websites the AI is leaning on.
AEOFast also sells a paid platform for agencies. It supports what the company calls AEO, short for Answer Engine Optimization. That means trying to get a brand mentioned and recommended in AI answers. The company says agencies can use it without an onboarding call or a long-term contract.
The announcement does not say how many questions each check uses. It does not explain how results are scored or how often they change. It gives no price for the paid platform. The company says its tool draws on data from 15 million pages of AI answers, but the material does not describe how that data was gathered. The details come from the company itself and have not been independently tested.
A free check takes only a brand name, so it is an easy way to see how AI answers treat your business, though the company's claims are untested.
