Hello everyone, I’m Lionel.

I’ve spent many years running an established UK business and have recently built AI‑Tracker after noticing a significant change in how customers find suppliers.

Instead of searching through conventional results, people are increasingly asking ChatGPT, Google Gemini or Claude which business they should choose.

AI‑Tracker measures whether those assistants independently recommend a particular business. It creates 20 realistic customer questions without initially naming the company, tests them across all three AI providers and analyses the resulting 60 responses.

The report shows whether the business appeared, which competitors were selected and what evidence may be influencing those recommendations.

I joined to meet other founders, learn how they are approaching this shift and get honest feedback on both the product and its blind-testing methodology.

The website is https://getaitracker.com.

I’d be particularly interested to know whether anyone here has already received customers who found them through an AI assistant.

Welcome to Startup Networks, Lionel! 👋

Thanks for introducing yourself. AI is definitely changing how people discover businesses, so this is a really interesting space to be building in.

Looking forward to seeing the discussions around AI search and how other founders are adapting. Wishing you all the best with AI-Tracker, and I hope you get some valuable feedback from the community!

Welcome Lionel,

I meant to welcome you yesterday but was dragged away from my desk all day, same as today..

What you're building is pretty neat! Customer acquisition is so important, I've worked on many businesses where it's been a NIGHTMARE finding where they're coming from, same with suppliers, and everything really!

Look forward to hearing more about you and I checked out your website, love the look of it!
