What This Compares
The unit is the competitor set. Give the analyzer your domain, two or three competitors, and the prompts your buyers would ask. It runs each prompt against AI engines and records who was cited, which specific page was cited, and what the engine used that page for.
The output is not a score. It is a list of pages that are winning citations you are not, with the prompt attached to each, which is as close to a content brief as any diagnostic tool produces.

GAPS BY THEME
agency-size positioning 2 prompts, 0 citations
billing workflows 1 prompt, 0 citations
pricing 1 prompt, 1 citation
Read the theme block, not the row list. Two prompts about agency size with no citation is a pattern: engines have no page from you that connects your product to a team of that size. One prompt about billing is a single data point and may mean nothing.
The pricing row is the useful control. You are cited there, which proves nothing is structurally blocking you, and narrows the problem to coverage rather than crawlability or trust.
What a Gap Actually Means
Usually it means a page does not exist. Sometimes it means the page exists but argues a different point, or buries the answer, or is written for a persona the prompt does not describe. Occasionally the competitor is cited because a third party wrote about them and the engine is quoting that, in which case the fix is not on your site at all.
None of this can be forced. There is no way to make an engine cite you, and the gap list is a research output rather than a lever. What it does is replace a vague sense that competitors are doing better with a specific set of pages you could write.
The equivalent analysis for traditional search, keywords competitors rank for in Google that you do not, is the Google equivalent of this tool. They answer different questions and both are worth running.
Questions
How many prompts should I run?
Enough to see themes rather than rows. Under five and you are reading noise.
Do I need to know my competitors first?
Yes. This compares named domains. If you do not know who you are up against in AI answers, run the free visibility checker first and see who gets named.
Will closing a gap get me cited?
Not reliably. It removes the reason you cannot be, which is the only part within your control.
What does it cost?
It runs on credits, not a subscription, and credits never expire.
Start with two or three competitors you already lose to. The prompts where they get cited and you do not are the ones worth acting on.
