How does AIQ monitor AI narratives?

For each topic, AIQ runs the user’s prompts against each of the eight tracked engines – ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode – on a daily polling schedule. The full response is captured, the cited sources are extracted and classified, the sentiment is scored, and the narrative themes are tagged. The result is a longitudinal record: not just what each engine said today, but how the story has shifted week over week, which sources are gaining weight, and where the engines diverge from each other. That last point matters – the same prompt to the same brand can return materially different answers across the eight engines, and AIQ is built specifically to expose those differences.
