What a report is, and what it is not

Last updated 16 September 2026

These terms cover using this site and ordering a report. They are short because the service is: you give us a business name, we ask AI assistants a set of questions about it, and we give you a link to what we found. There are no accounts, no payments and no subscription. What we collect and how long we keep it is on the privacy page.

What the service is

aiSaysWhat produces a one-off report on how AI assistants answer questions about a business: how often they name it, which competitors they name instead, what they say about it and which sources they read. It is not monitoring, not a dashboard and not a subscription. Each report is a separate order and a separate measurement.

A report is a measurement, not advice

This is the part worth reading properly.

It measures the questions we asked, on the assistants we asked, on the day we asked them. It is not a measure of the whole internet, of every question a customer might ask, or of every assistant that exists.
Assistants do not give the same answer twice. The same questions run again on another day will produce different answers and different figures. That variation is a property of the assistants, not a fault in the report.
Earlier months are estimates. Where a report shows a trend running back before the date you ordered, those months are reconstructed by asking the models that were current then to answer as of that time. The report says so on its own face. They are an indication, not a record of what was true.
The list of brands is what the assistants named, not a list we curated. It can be incomplete, and it can include companies that are not really in the same business. Treat the names as evidence of what assistants say, not as a verified competitor set.
It is not professional advice. Nothing in a report is business, marketing, financial, investment or legal advice. Use your own judgement before acting on it.

Answers come from other companies

The answers in a report are produced by OpenAI, Google, Anthropic and Perplexity, and the sources are found through search services. We do not control, endorse or verify what those services say. A report can therefore contain statements that are out of date, mistaken or unflattering — about the business you asked about, and about other companies the assistants bring up. We reproduce what was said because the point of the report is what was said.

Other companies’ names

Reports name real businesses and show their trade marks and site icons, because a report about who gets recommended instead of you cannot avoid naming them. Those names belong to their owners and are used only to identify them. Nothing in a report implies any affiliation with, or endorsement by, anyone named in it.

Whose brand you may ask about

You do not have to own a business to order a report about it, and we do not check. You are responsible for what you do with a report about someone else’s business, including anything you publish from it.

If you are named in a report and want it taken down, write to us and we will withdraw the link. See the privacy page for what we hold and how to ask for it to be removed.

What you may submit

You can add your own questions to a report. They are sent to other companies’ services on our accounts, so:

Do not submit anything unlawful, abusive, hateful, sexual, or intended to harass anyone.
Do not use the form to try to make an assistant produce content of that kind, or to extract information about anyone else.
Do not submit anyone’s personal information.
Do not try to get around the limits below — no scripted, automated or bulk ordering.

Everything you type is screened before an order is accepted, and an order that fails screening, or that cannot be screened, is refused. We can refuse or withdraw any order, and we do not have to say why.

Fair use

Each report spends real money on other companies’ services, so the number of reports one address can start in an hour is limited, and the size of an order is capped. These limits exist to keep the service free and open; if you need more, ask.

Your report link

A finished report lives at a long, unguessable web address. It is not listed anywhere and search engines are told not to index it, but anyone who has the link can open it — there is no password. Treat it the way you would treat a private document link: share it with the people you mean to, and ask us if you want it withdrawn.

Reports are deleted after 6 months. After that the link explains that the report has expired rather than simply failing.

What you may do with your report

The report file is yours. You can read it, save it, print it and share it inside or outside your business. What we keep is the report’s design, wording and the way it is put together, which stay ours and are not licensed for reuse in another product.

It is a free beta

The service is free while it is in beta. It may change, and it may stop. We do not promise that the site will be available, that an order will be accepted, that a report will be produced, or that it will be produced in any particular time. Reports sometimes fail — an assistant is unavailable, or a run does not finish — and when that happens you can order again.

No warranty, and what we are liable for

The site and the reports are provided as they are, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including that a report is accurate, complete, or fit for any particular purpose.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from using the site or relying on a report, including lost profit, lost business or lost data. Nothing here limits liability for anything that cannot be limited by law, such as death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud.

Changes

When the service changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top moves. Using the site after a change means the current version applies.
