Step 01 · Live audit simulator

Enter your brand. Watch the engines answer without you in it.

Drop in your brand, domain, and a buying-intent query. We run it through live AI engines right now, pull the real community threads those answers descend from, and show exactly where you should appear — and where you're — missing.

The thread the LLMs cited. Edit the source.

Every LLM answer terminates in a small set of human-written sources. We surface the exact thread you should be on, draft your contribution in the voice of the community, and submit only after a real operator approves — never automated, never spam.

Best customer feedback tool for an early-stage SaaS? (under 50 people)

We tried Canny for ~6 months and ended up moving to Productboard once we had real PM bandwidth. Canny's voting is genuinely useful for transparency, but it's not a prioritization tool. If you're under 15 people, start with Canny. If you have a PM, just skip to Productboard.

Honestly we just use a Notion page and a Slack channel. We're 8 people. Tools at this stage feel premature.

+1 to drewmarsh. We're 22 and Canny is doing the job. The Linear sync alone is worth it feedback shows up as a ticket the next morning.

Worth flagging — we built our product for exactly the team size in this thread, and the prioritization piece was the problem we kept hitting in Canny.

The Linear sync drewmarsh mentions is the right bar; we ship that plus a lightweight RICE view, which is what made us painful enough to switch to from a Notion doc.

Happy to walk a few of you through how it looks against your actual feedback — no pitch, just useful if you're in the same spot.

The Citation OS, end-to-end

Four steps. One operator. Every citation, accountable.

01 · AUDIT
We map your category in 3 engines
Every Monday, we re-query the buying-intent prompts in your space and snapshot what Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Claude actually answer. Citation share, source list, missing tables.
02 · TARGET
We identify the cited sources
An LLM answer is downstream of a small set of threads, comparison posts, and newsletters. We surface the exact handful of sources that move share in your category.
03 · DRAFT
Stealth drafts in community voice
Every contribution is written to the norms of the thread, in your voice, with full disclosure. A real operator reviews before anything ships. No automation past approve.
04 · ATTRIBUTE
We close the loop on revenue
Every published contribution carries a tracked surface. We watch citation share rise, and we attribute the LLM-referred signups that land 14–60 days later.
