directree, an independent software discovery platform, today launched GEO Monitor, a weekly tracking tool that tells software companies whether AI answer engines name their brand when buyers ask category questions, and which competitors get named instead. GEO Monitor sends brand-free buyer questions to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews, stores the raw answers, and reports what each engine said. Questions cannot contain the vendor's own product name or domain. The launch follows a change in how software buyers search. "Every founder I talk to has a rankings dashboard and no idea what an AI tells a buyer who asks about their category," said Henrik Åberg, founder of directree. How GEO Monitor works includes weekly scans, plus one manual re-scan a month. Both paid plans scan automatically once a week and allow one additional manual re-scan every 30 days. Starter tracks 15 buyer questions across three engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Pro tracks 50 questions across five, adding Gemini and Claude. Features include a visibility score, competitor share of voice, and citation intelligence.
