# Check AI search visibility: agent skill

AI search visibility API for an agent: it sends a prompt your buyers would ask and a country to a catalog endpoint and reads answer text, cited sources and brands mentioned back. Several providers sell the call, so the agent tries the cheapest first. You pay per call, and a failed call costs nothing.

## When it starts

- does ChatGPT mention our brand for this prompt
- what sources does the AI cite for best project management tools
- check how AI answers rank us against competitors

## What it asks for

- The prompt a buyer would ask
- The brand names to look for
- The country

## How it runs

- looot discover finds the endpoint
- looot inspect shows the price and the input schema
- looot run executes it, billed per call
- Endpoints in order: cloro-monitor-chatgpt, cloro-monitor-perplexity, cloro-monitor-gemini, brightdata-chatgpt-answer, searchapi-io-chatgpt, searchapi-io-perplexity, dataforseo-google-ai-mode-advanced, anyapi-run-google-ai-overview

## What comes back

- Answer text
- Cited sources
- Brands mentioned
- Shopping cards
- Search queries the engine ran

## Answer rule

Say which brands the answer named, in what order, and which sources it cited. One run is one sample, so say that answers vary.

## Install

Save the skill file as /agent-skills/ai-search-visibility/SKILL.md, or tell your agent: set up looot, then use /agent-skills/ai-search-visibility/SKILL.md.

## How do I check if AI answers mention my brand?

Run a set of buyer prompts through the AI engines and read the answers. Your agent returns each answer, the sources it cited and whether your brand name appears. Repeat it to see how stable the result is.

## Which AI engines can I check?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overview, through different endpoints. The notes above say which provider covers which engine.

## Why do the answers change between runs?

Language models generate text, so the wording and the sources change. Google regenerates the AI Overview for each search. Run each prompt several times and look for the pattern.

## Can I see which sources an engine cites?

Yes. Most endpoints return the cited sources with the answer. Your agent can list the domains cited most often, which shows where you would need to be mentioned.

## Does this track my visibility over time?

It gives you a snapshot each time you run it. Running the set on a timer needs scheduled runs, not available yet, so ask your agent to run it whenever you want a fresh reading.

## How much does one prompt cost?

You pay per call, and the price depends on the provider your agent picks. This page reads the cheapest live price from the catalog and shows no number when the catalog is unreachable.
