An analytics platform you operate.
A programme we run for you.
Kime.ai is a European AI-visibility analytics platform: high-cadence scanning, competitor tracking, share-of-voice and citation analytics, with multi-seat plans aimed squarely at teams and agencies. If your agency has people who will live in a dashboard and turn what they see into published work, Kime is a credible choice and this page is not an argument against it. Found by AI is a different shape of thing: a white-label AI-search content programme you resell. 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 - under your agency's brand.
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.
Analytics, or delivery
Kime gives your team the numbers.
We are the team that does the work.
Kime is a focused analytics product and a well-built one: frequent scanning, competitor tracking, citation and share-of-voice analytics, presented in a dashboard designed for people who will use it often. The multi-seat, agency-oriented packaging is deliberate and sensible - it is built for a team that wants its own visibility layer across a client roster. Where the analytics are the bottleneck, Kime is genuinely stronger than we are, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
Found by AI is for the agency whose bottleneck is downstream of the numbers. We don't compete on dashboard depth or scan cadence. We run the loop: the monitoring is the brief, we write the articles against it, we publish them to a blog on the client's subdomain or your white-label domain - one DNS record either way, and the Monthly AI-Search Visibility Report documents what changed. Articles can carry a named editor from your team or your client's with written-by and reviewed-by bylines, 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 portal, report and emails carry your agency's brand. We never solicit your clients.
Where each one sits
Where Kime.ai sits
- A European AI-visibility analytics platform with frequent scanning, competitor tracking and citation and share-of-voice analytics
- Multi-seat, team-oriented packaging including an agency-facing plan - built for a roster, not a single brand
- Genuinely stronger than us on analytics depth and cadence. If the dashboard is the thing you are buying, buy the dashboard
Where Found by AI sits
- One programme, sold only through agency partners - you resell it, we run it, your brand is on it
- The monitoring is not a deliverable, it is the brief: the buying questions leading AI assistants answer without your client become the month's articles
- Written, reviewed and published for you - a named editor from your team or your client's on written-by and reviewed-by bylines, review before publish the default and publishing immediately opt-in per client
The operating difference
Detection is where most tools stop. The production is what we own.
Found by AI runs one loop for agency partners. Every week we put your client's buying questions to AI assistants, for example ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, and record who gets named. The questions your client is missing from are where the month's topics are chosen; then we write, publish and measure the content that answers them, and the Monthly AI-Search Visibility Report documents what changed. The monitoring is not a dashboard: it is the brief. All of it ships under your agency's brand.
| Generates content? | Publishes for you? | Publishing surface | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kime.ai | No | No | None |
| Found by AI | Yes | Yes | A blog we host on the client's subdomain or your white-label domain, one DNS record, agency-branded; the same articles over the Content Delivery API or our WordPress connector |
Kime.ai
Found by AI
AI does the research and the first draft; a named person from your team or your client's reviews, edits and signs it before it goes out. Articles the programme produces can carry the name of the person who reviewed them; posts your client's team write name their writer. Three publish modes, chosen per client: 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. Translations follow the same mode as the original. The client's own writers can publish alongside the articles the programme produces. We never solicit a partner's clients.
Structural comparison
Deliberately no plan or price table. Their packaging changes, and a stale figure on our page would be worse for you than no figure at all - check anything commercial on Kime.ai's own site. What follows is the difference in shape, which doesn't go out of date.
| Found by AI | Kime.ai | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A delivered AI-search content programme, resold by agencies | A European AI-visibility analytics platform, operated by your team |
| What arrives each month | Published articles briefed from the monitoring, plus a report on what moved | Scans, analytics and competitor movement for your team to interpret |
| Who writes the articles | We do - briefed from the monitoring, signed off by a named editor from your team or your client's | Your team, or the client’s |
| Who publishes | We do - to a blog on the client's subdomain or your white-label domain - one DNS record either way | Your team, wherever the client’s site lives |
| Author accountability | A named reviewer from your team or your client's - real job title, public profile linked - with role-accurate written-by / reviewed-by credits and structured author data | Not applicable - Kime is not the publisher |
| Review before publish | Three modes per client: review window (the default, 7 days), publish immediately (opt-in), dark until reviewed (on request); the client's own writers can publish alongside the articles the programme produces | Your team's own editorial process |
| Whose brand the client sees | Yours - portal, monthly report and emails are white-labelled | Kime's, unless you rebuild the reporting yourself |
| Analytics depth and cadence | Deliberately narrow - enough to brief the month, not a dashboard to live in | Deeper and more frequent. This is their core strength and their reason to exist |
Key differences
Choose Kime.ai if…
- Analytics is what you are actually short of: you have writers, and what you lack is a clear read across a client roster
- You want seats for your team in a tool you control, and you would rather own the visibility layer than outsource it
- Scan cadence and dashboard depth matter to how you work. Kime does both better than we do, at a price you can check on their own site
Choose Found by AI if…
- You run an agency without spare editorial capacity, and the gap between seeing the problem and shipping something about it is where client retainers stall
- You want a monthly artifact that makes the retainer defensible: what AI assistants said, what we published about it, what changed
- You want it under your own brand, sold on your paper, with no risk of us going around you to your client
An agency can sensibly buy both: Kime as the analytics layer your team operates, us as the production loop for the clients where you have sold it. They are different purchases.
Frequently asked questions
Is Found by AI a replacement for Kime.ai?
Not really - we are different products. Kime is an analytics platform your team operates: frequent scanning, competitor tracking, citation and share-of-voice data. We run one programme for agency partners: 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 under your brand. If your gap is the numbers, buy Kime. If your gap is the writing, that is us.
Why not compete on dashboard depth?
Because it would not be honest. Kime is an analytics product and puts its effort there; our monitoring exists to produce a brief, not to be a place your team lives. We would rather be plain about that than claim parity on a surface we deliberately keep narrow.
Does Kime produce the content?
No - it is analytics, and acting on the data is your team's job. That is the whole difference. We take the monitoring as a brief, write the articles, put them through a review step you configure per client, and publish them to a blog we host on the client's subdomain or your white-label domain - one DNS record either way, with a named editor from your team or your client's on written-by and reviewed-by bylines.
Both are European. Does that matter?
Practically, a little: VAT handling, data residency and timezone-aligned support are simpler when vendor and buyer are both in the EU. But it is a smaller factor than the product shape. The real question is whether you need a platform your team operates or a programme delivered on your behalf.
Bottom line
Kime.ai is a capable analytics platform and better than us at analytics - if your agency has writers and needs a clearer read across a roster, buy it. Found by AI exists for the other case: the monitoring becomes the brief, we write and publish the content, and the monthly report documents what changed - under your agency's brand, with a standing promise that we never approach your clients. We promise the process, not an outcome. Plenty of agencies could sensibly run both.

Next 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.
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.
