Show up when customers ask AI what to buy.

Free, and it runs on your own computer. Private beta.

An example of the AnswerHog app for a made-up brand, Fernhill Coffee. It was named in 9 of 24 AI answers. Bluepeak Roasters and Ember & Oak were named more often. The next step is a content brief for the question "Best coffee subscription for espresso".
What you see for each brand. These brands are made up.
Everything you need to get recommended by AI.
Know if AI recommends you.
AnswerHog asks AI the questions your customers ask, every week, and shows how often you're named, by which assistant, and whether it's going up.
See who it picks instead, and why.
Read every answer with the rivals named in your place and the exact pages AI quotes. Now you know where you need to be mentioned.
Catch what AI gets wrong about you.
See how AI describes your brand and the reasons it gives against you. Claims are checked against your real facts, so wrong prices or missing products stand out.
Get a to-do list, not another dashboard.
Everything becomes one plan, most useful step first. Missing from an answer? You get a content brief for exactly that question.
Make your website easy for AI to read.
A checkup built for AI: can its crawlers get in, can it find a clear answer on your pages, and does it trust who you are. Each problem comes with the fix.
Prove it worked.
After you publish a fix, AnswerHog asks the same question again and shows whether the answer changed. You also see the visits AI assistants send to your site.
Hugs keeps checking while you work.
AnswerHog asks your questions again every day or week, and only alerts you when something really changes, not every time a number wobbles.
Free. Private. Honest about its numbers.
No subscription
AnswerHog is free. You pay the AI companies only for the questions you check, and free tiers or a model on your own computer cost nothing.
Your data stays with you
It runs on your computer. Your brands, answers and keys are stored only there, and your questions go only to the AI you pick.
Numbers you can believe
Every number says where it came from, small samples show “3 of 7” instead of a big percentage, and answers that misread the question are left out.

Questions
What is AEO or GEO?
Answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO) are two names for the same work: getting your brand mentioned and cited when people ask AI assistants for advice.
Which AI assistants does it check?
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok and DeepSeek, through their official APIs or one OpenRouter key, plus local models through Ollama. Answers from ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Copilot in your browser can be saved with a capture button you click yourself.
Is it really free?
Yes. AnswerHog itself costs nothing and has no subscription. You pay the AI providers you choose for the questions you check, and free tiers or a local model can bring that to zero.
Do I need to know how to code?
Not to use it. Installing it today takes Node.js and one command in a terminal, and the setup screen walks you through the rest.
Does it scrape ChatGPT?
No. It uses each provider's official API. For the consumer apps, you click the capture button on an answer you are reading, and AnswerHog saves that one answer. It never automates those apps.
Who is the mascot?
That's Hugs. It hugs the answer it found and won't let go, which is what we want for your brand: when someone asks AI, the answer should be yours. The hog in AnswerHog is a verb.
How do I get it?
AnswerHog is in private beta. Leave your email and we will send you access when your spot opens.
