# AskWatch

> AI visibility tracking: which brands 6 AI engines name when buyers ask
> the questions of your category, where you sit inside those answers, and which
> pages they were built from.

AskWatch runs your prompts through 6 engines on a daily or weekly schedule. For
every prompt it records whether a brand is mentioned, where it sits inside the
answer, how it is described, and which sources the engine cited. Competitor and
source gaps show the pages and prompts where a competitor appears and you do
not.

## Pages
