## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## AI Brand Visibility Tracker (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini)

Ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity the questions your buyers ask, and see which brands each AI recommends. For every answer you get the brands named in order, whether your brand appears and in what position, whether your website is cited, the sources the AI used, and the full answer.

**Price: US$0.025 per ChatGPT or Claude answer, US$0.012 per Perplexity answer, US$0.008 per Gemini answer.** One prompt on all four costs US$0.07.

### What people use it for

- **AI search visibility (GEO):** track whether AI assistants recommend your brand for the questions that bring you customers.
- **Competitor tracking:** see which competitors each AI names first, and how that changes week by week.
- **Content and PR planning:** the cited sources show which sites the AIs trust. Get mentioned there.
- **Agency reporting:** run the same prompt list for each client on a schedule and chart the results.

### Example output

```json
{
  "prompt": "What are the best CRM tools for a small business?",
  "platform": "perplexity",
  "model": "sonar",
  "webSearch": true,
  "brand": "HubSpot",
  "brandMentioned": true,
  "brandRank": 1,
  "brandsMentioned": ["HubSpot", "Zoho", "Freshsales", "Pipedrive", "Salesforce"],
  "domainCited": null,
  "citations": [{"title": "...", "url": "https://www.capterra.com/...", "domain": "capterra.com"}],
  "answer": "The best CRM depends on your team's size, sales process, and budget. For most small businesses, HubSpot CRM, Zoho CRM, Freshsales, Pipedrive, and Salesforce ...",
  "checkedAt": "2026-10-28T17:11:09+00:00"
}
```

`brandRank` is the position of your brand among the tracked brands, by first mention in the answer. `domainCited` is empty when you leave `domain` blank.

### Input

| Field | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `prompts` | Questions a buyer would ask, up to 50, 500 characters each. | 1 sample |
| `brand` | Your brand name. | sample |
| `competitors` | Other brands to look for, up to 30. | samples |
| `domain` | Your website, to check whether the AIs cite it. | none |
| `platforms` | Any of `chatgpt`, `claude`, `gemini`, `perplexity`. | all four |

### Which models answer

| Platform | Model | Web search |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | gpt-5.4-nano | yes |
| Claude | claude-haiku-5-5 | yes |
| Gemini | gemini-3.6-flash | no: answers from its own knowledge |
| Perplexity | sonar | yes |
These are the fast models each provider offers through its API. The free consumer apps may use other models, so treat results as a strong signal and track them over time.

### Pricing

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| ChatGPT answer | US$0.025 |
| Claude answer | US$0.025 |
| Perplexity answer | US$0.012 |
| Gemini answer | US$0.008 |

Examples: 10 prompts on all four cost US$0.70. 10 prompts on Perplexity and Gemini only cost US$0.20. Answers that fail or come back empty are listed and not charged.

### Limits

- AI answers vary from run to run, even for the same prompt. Run each prompt on a schedule and look at the trend.
- Brand matching is by whole word and ignores case. Brands with very common names may need a more specific spelling.
- Free Apify plan: one prompt on Gemini and Perplexity. A run with the prefilled example input returns a stored, dated sample (marked `cachedExample: true`) at no charge.

### FAQ

**Does this use the real ChatGPT?** It uses OpenAI's, Anthropic's, Google's and Perplexity's official APIs through a licensed data provider, with web search where the platform supports it.

**Can an AI agent call it?** Yes. Pass prompts and brands, get compact JSON back, and pay per answer.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,psypherz/ai-brand-visibility"
        }
    }

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
