I built a tool to help solo founders see where AI talks about them (launching May 5th)

Hey everyone,

I'm Mohamed, a solo founder building in public.

Here's what I noticed: AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude are becoming the new discovery layer. When someone asks "what's the best tool for X?" AI gives an answer. And if your product isn't in that answer, you're invisible.

The problem? Most solo founders have no idea where (or if) AI mentions their product. The big players have teams monitoring this. We don't.

So I built AIRankCite, a tool that scans Reddit, Hacker News, and niche forums to show you exactly where AI is picking up signals about your product, where your competitors are getting mentioned instead, and what you can do about it.

This isn't just another SEO tool. It's about giving solo founders the same competitive intelligence that funded startups take for granted. The AI recommendation layer is the new battleground for distribution, and we shouldn't be flying blind.

What it does:

- Paste your URL, get an AI visibility report in minutes

- See which threads and forums mention you (and which don't)

- Discover "citation gaps" where competitors show up but you don't

- Get actionable fixes to improve your AI visibility

Free scan available, no signup needed to try it: https://airankcite.com

We're launching on Product Hunt on May 5th. Would love your support and feedback. If you've ever wondered "Does AI even know my product exists?" this is for you.

What's your experience with AI recommendations? Are you seeing AI drive traffic to your product, or are you invisible too?
