THE DISCOVERY FUNNEL HAS CHANGED

Is AI Recommending Your App?

Half of users now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity for app recommendations before they ever open the store. Traditional ASO tools don't measure this. Apptonomy does — and ships recommendations you can act on.

What we measure

  • Whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity actually recommend your app for category-relevant prompts
  • Your share of voice vs. competitors across a battery of real user-intent prompts
  • Which intents you win, which you lose, and to whom
  • The sentiment and framing AI uses when it does mention you
  • Recommended listing changes that make AI more likely to cite and recommend you

Traditional discovery is no longer the whole funnel

Users increasingly form intent before they reach the store. The audit needs to see both paths.

Traditional Discovery

User has a need

Opens App Store / Google Play

Searches keywords

Browses results

AI-Powered Discovery

Live measurement today, with the rest of the AI-first discovery workflow being built into the platform.

AI Discoverability Engine

Live

See if AI recommends your app

Queries ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity with category-relevant prompts. Measures share of voice vs. competitors. Identifies which user intents you're winning — and which you're losing.

Intent Mapping

Coming Soon

From keywords to user intents

LLMs don't match keywords — they match problems to solutions. Intent Mapping analyzes your listing and maps it to the user problems your app actually solves, revealing gaps competitors haven't filled.

LLM-Optimized Content Generation

Coming Soon

Descriptions that AI wants to cite

Generates long descriptions with factual grounding, semantic coverage, and problem-solution framing — the framework proven to increase AI referral traffic.

Factual Grounding Checker

Coming Soon

Kill the claims AI won't trust

Flags unverifiable claims, dubious superlatives, and language that makes LLMs less likely to recommend your app. Suggests credibility-safe alternatives.

First Mover Advantage

No mainstream ASO tool automates this today. The established platforms are talking about it; specialized consultancies are doing it manually. Apptonomy is building it into the platform.
