Every tool in this category, compared.
Including where they beat us.
Most of the products below do real work: premium editorial retainers, AI drafting tools, scorers that grade what your writer produced, dashboards that read the AI-answer surface. Found by AI is a white-label AI-search content programme sold through agencies. The monitoring is not a dashboard - it is the brief. Detection is where other tools stop; the production is what we own. Below: honest comparisons, each one clear about when the other tool is the right answer.
Stop at the dashboard.
Show the gap. Don't address it with content production. A client looking at a monitoring dashboard with no content production is not a recurring conversation; it's a quarterly question.
Write briefs from keyword tools.
Briefs come from search-volume guesswork. They produce useful articles, but the priorities don't reflect what AI assistants are actually citing for the client's category.
Turn monitoring evidence into the next brief.
Last month's monitoring evidence, competitor appearances, citation gaps, missing facts, weak topics, is where next month's topics are chosen from. Then the Monthly AI-Search Visibility Report shows what changed.
The wedge is the loop, not any single layer of it.
Deliberately no price table anywhere on these pages. Competitor packaging changes, and a stale figure on our page would be worse for you than no figure at all - check anything commercial on the vendor's own site. What we compare is the difference in shape, which doesn't go out of date. Our own pricing is a partner conversation, not a web page.
AI-native content tools
Compared to AI content tools
AI-native generators, optimisers and drafting tools. They hand your team drafts or grade what your team wrote. We take the brief through to a published article with a named editor from your team or your client's behind it, under your agency's brand.
AI programmatic content
Found by AI vs Daydream
Generates programmatic pages at scale for the client to run. We run a loop instead: monitoring becomes the brief, and we write and publish against it.
AI content optimization
Found by AI vs AthenaHQ
Optimises a site that already exists for AI answers. We produce and publish the articles that answer the questions the site is missing.
Content optimization tool
Found by AI vs Surfer SEO
Scores a draft and tells your writer what to add. We take it to publication - a finished article, signed by a named editor from your team or your client's.
AI drafting volume
Found by AI vs Writesonic
Drafts at volume for your team to finish. We deliver finished articles with a named editor from your team or your client's on the byline.
AI content generation
Found by AI vs Goodie AI
Generates content for your team to publish. We publish it, to a blog we host on the client's own domain, under your agency's brand.
AI content credits
Found by AI vs Trakkr
Tracking bundled with AI drafts for your editor to finish. We take the last mile: review, byline, publication and the monthly report.
Traditional content services
Compared to content marketing agencies
Retainer content agencies and productized content services. They sell editorial directly to the brand. We only sell through agencies - you resell the programme, we run it, and every surface the client sees carries your brand.
Productized content service
Found by AI vs Embarque
A productized content service selling direct. We sell only through agencies, white-labelled, with monitoring driving the brief.
Premium content agency
Found by AI vs Animalz
Premium human editorial, sold direct to the brand. Different rung of the ladder - and genuinely better when depth is the purchase.
SMB productized blog
Found by AI vs Audience Ops
Productized blog content for small teams. We are a white-label programme an agency resells, driven by AI-answer monitoring.
B2B SaaS content agency
Found by AI vs Omniscient Digital
Integrated content and SEO programmes for B2B SaaS, sold direct. We are the supplier behind an agency rather than the agency.
Premium content retainer
Found by AI vs Siege Media
Premium retainers with long commitments, sold direct. We are white-label: your brand on the portal, the report and the emails.
Distribution-led content
Found by AI vs Foundation Inc
Distribution-first content strategy, sold direct. Our thesis is the loop: monitoring becomes the brief, we write and publish.

AI Visibility Hub
AI visibility tool comparisons →
AI visibility tools tell you where a client appears in AI answers and where they don't. Almost all of them stop at detection. Found by AI treats the monitoring as the brief and produces the articles that change the answer - under your agency's brand. Each comparison on the hub is honest about which one fits, including when the other tool is the better answer.
Where each one sits
On the content side: Daydream generates programmatic pages at scale. AthenaHQ and Surfer optimise and grade content that already exists. Writesonic, Goodie and Trakkr produce AI drafts for your team to finish. Animalz, Siege, Omniscient and Foundation are human editorial retainers sold direct to the brand - and where senior editorial depth is the purchase, they are genuinely better than us. Embarque and Audience Ops are productized services for smaller teams.
On the visibility side: Profound, Peec AI, Otterly, PromptMonitor, BrightEdge and Conductor read where a brand appears in AI answers. Adobe LLM Optimizer, Bluefish and Scrunch sit at the enterprise end. Triple Whale reads the shopping surface inside an ecommerce analytics platform. Trakkr, Goodie and Writesonic appear on both sides - they bridge the categories.
Found by AI is a white-label AI-search content programme sold through agencies. The loop is the product: monitoring identifies the buying questions leading AI assistants answer without your client in them, those gaps become the month's brief, and we write, publish and measure the content that answers them. Articles can carry a named editor from your team or your client's - a real person, their job title and a public professional profile, with written-by and reviewed-by bylines and structured author data. Review before publish is the default for every new client brand, with a 7-day review window; publishing immediately after our quality gate is opt-in per client; dark until reviewed is available on request, and the client's own writers can publish alongside the articles the programme produces. Portal, Monthly AI-Search Visibility Report and emails carry your agency's brand, and we never solicit a partner's clients. We promise the process, not an outcome.
See the programmeNext step
Run the loop on one client. Judge us on three reports.
Bring one retained client. We show you the monitoring, the articles it produced, the review flow and a real report. Three monthly reports later, you decide.
No minimum on standard monthly terms; founder terms carry a 12-month agreement per client brand.
Founder terms, for agencies signing up through 31 December 2026: the founder rate is locked when you claim it and runs on a 12-month agreement per client brand, with one brand swap inside the term. Your first client brand is the trial: one retained client, three monthly report cycles, then decide at the third report. Roll out on the founder term, or stop there and take a full export. No minimum on standard monthly terms. No per-brand setup fee; a one-time partner onboarding fee applies, waived for founding partners.
Not an agency? Then we're not the right people to buy from, but your agency might be. Get in touch and we'll tell you plainly whether there's a partner for you.
