AI Shopping Prompts
Track the prompts that decide what shoppers buy.
See whether ChatGPT and Gemini recognize your products, help shoppers find where to buy them, or recommend a competitor instead. Open the original answer behind every result.
Three buying moments
Test the product from recognition to purchase
Each tracked product is evaluated through three distinct customer questions, so you can see where it enters or drops out of the shopping journey.
Direct
01“Tell me about the Aster Trail Cloudline Jacket.”
Measure whether AI recognizes the exact product and describes it accurately when asked by name.
Buy path
02“Where can I buy the Aster Trail Cloudline Jacket?”
See whether AI sends purchase-ready shoppers toward the product and which shopping result appears.
Category
03“What is the best lightweight rain jacket under $250?”
Track whether the product enters the consideration set, receives the top recommendation, and outranks competitors.

How AI Shopping Prompts work
What are AI Shopping Prompts?
Shopping Prompts test how AI answers product and buying questions. friction AI checks whether AI recognizes the product, helps shoppers find where to buy it, recommends it in category questions, and shows it in shopping results.
Which AI platforms are supported for Shopping Prompts?
The current Shopping product measures ChatGPT and Gemini shopping answers. Shopping cards, product-feed evidence, and other shopping surfaces depend on the platform, market, account access, and what the response returns.
What is the difference between a category prompt and a buy-path prompt?
A category prompt asks which product is best for a broader need. A buy-path prompt tests whether AI routes a purchase-ready shopper to the specific product and where it can be bought.
Can I see the actual shopping response?
Yes. Open any prompt result to read the original answer and see whether the product appeared, whether it was recommended, where it ranked, which competitors appeared, and which sources or shopping details were available.
How do I add products?
You can begin from a product page URL or upload products by CSV. friction AI extracts the product information for review before tracking begins.
How often are Shopping Prompts refreshed?
Shopping products are refreshed weekly across the supported ChatGPT and Gemini prompt set.
