What is Klarvu?
Klarvu shows how AI assistants mention and recommend your brand. Track your visibility, compare against competitors, and find opportunities to improve.
Updated
Klarvu helps you understand what AI assistants say about your business when potential customers ask them for advice.
More buying journeys now start with an AI-generated answer rather than a traditional search results page. Klarvu shows you whether your business is part of those answers and helps you understand what to do next.
How it works
Choose the questions you want to track
You select the questions your potential customers might ask AI. We call these prompts. Organize them by topic to track different products, services, or areas of your business.
Klarvu asks the AI platforms
Klarvu sends your questions to the selected AI platforms in your market on a regular schedule. During the trial, this happens every night at 00:01 in your time zone. On paid plans, the frequency depends on your configuration, typically daily.
We analyze the answers
Each answer is analyzed. Is your brand mentioned? Where does it appear? Is the sentiment positive or negative? Which competitors show up, and which sources does the AI cite?
See the results in one place
Everything comes together in a dashboard. You can follow changes over time, compare your visibility with competitors, and explore recommendations for what to work on next.
AI engines we track
Klarvu tracks five AI platforms:
- ChatGPT
- Gemini
- Google AI Overviews
- Perplexity
- Claude
The 7-day free trial includes ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews in one market (country and language). Perplexity and Claude are also available on paid plans.
