Domains cited in this response
For every prompt, see the source domains AI references when it answers. The authority signals you already track for SEO, mapped to the AEO answer.

friction AI is the first AEO tool that diagnoses where the gap is, not just that there is one. The Entity Recognition layer view tells me whether to fix Foundation, Training Data, or Web Search. From there, the per-prompt fix list goes straight to my writers. Three SaaS clients moved from under 20% to over 60% visibility in two months.
I used to copy-paste prompts into ChatGPT and Perplexity every week, screenshot the answers, and try to figure out why my competitors kept showing up instead of my products. friction AI does that tracking automatically, and the per-prompt fix list is the part I'd been missing. It tells me which keywords my pages need and which sources to chase.
Four metrics — visibility, sentiment, purchase intent, brand recognition — scored against your competitors every week. No setup required.

How well does AI know your brand before it searches the web? Three layers, scored independently. Foundation is what's in the LLM's base knowledge. Training Data is what's in fine-tuning and RLHF. Web Search is what AI finds when it looks you up live. Each layer behaves differently. Optimization for one doesn't optimize for the others. Entity Recognition tells you exactly which layer has the gap.
Every losing prompt comes with a recommendation built for your content team. The exact search keywords AI is matching. The source domains AI is citing for that prompt. A copy-paste-ready brief for your writer. Hand it off. No specialist required.
