Getting Started
Set up your first Prediction Audit in under 5 minutes
Overview
XAUDIENT helps you understand how OpenAI/ChatGPT, Anthropic/Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity predict and recommend your brand. Start with Setup to establish a trusted competitive baseline, then use Monitor to run ongoing Prediction Audits.
Before You Begin
To get the most from XAUDIENT, have the following ready:
- Brand name — Your company or product name as customers know it
- Website URL — Your primary domain (e.g., yourcompany.com)
- Focus area — What aspect of AI visibility matters most (general, product category, or specific use case)
The Onboarding Process
XAUDIENT uses two distinct flows. Complete the four-step Setup once for each brand, then use the three-step Monitor flow for ongoing analysis.
Setup
4 stepsSetup creates the brand record, audits the website and competitors, and gives you a final review before monitoring begins.
- 1Setup — Add the brand name, primary website, focus area, and industry context.
- 2Audit — XAUDIENT audits the brand site and establishes the initial visibility baseline.
- 3Audit competitors — Review the discovered competitors, resolve missing URLs, and audit the competitors you will track.
- 4Review — Review the score and competitive ranking, then confirm Setup.
Monitor
3 stepsMonitor uses the confirmed Setup baseline to refresh context, prepare queries, and launch a new Prediction Audit.
- 1Context — Review current pain points, intents, regions, market signals, and the confirmed Setup competitors.
- 2Queries — Review and select the questions that matter for this analysis.
- 3Launch — Send the selected queries to OpenAI/ChatGPT, Anthropic/Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, then follow progress from the workspace.
Analysis time depends on query volume.
