  • 5W Public Relations Qualified

    The GEO practice explicitly hands sentiment work to a different 5W practice, so attribute-level perception is not part of the citation program a buyer signs for; a separate published Reputation Index scores sentiment for named individuals.

    Checked 2026-09-10

  • Addlly AI Yes

    Sentiment analysis is bundled from the entry plan up and is scored alongside visibility and share of voice in the dashboard.

    Checked 2026-09-10

  • Adobe Brand Visibility Yes

    Sentiment is scored per aspect of the brand inside a single answer, so one response can read positive on one attribute and negative on another.

    Checked 2026-09-12

  • AEO Engine Yes

    Sentiment is one weighted input to the vendor's composite AI visibility score, so tone is measured, though no per-attribute breakdown of what engines associate with the brand is shown.

    Checked 2026-09-10

  • AEOlens Yes

    Each simulated answer is classified positive, neutral or negative per engine, and daily community monitoring adds sentiment signals from X, Reddit, Hacker News and Product Hunt.

    Each simulated run logs sentiment and how the model frames the brand, and sentiment drift is reported per assistant over time.

    Checked 2026-09-08

  • Ahrefs Brand Radar Qualified

    You get the topics AI associates with the brand and the raw responses to read, but the documented metric set is share of voice, mentions, citations and impressions, with no sentiment or attribute score.

    Checked 2026-09-19

  • AIclicks Qualified

    Sentiment themes show which recurring attributes AI answers attach to the brand, but the dashboard is withheld on Starter, which only sees mock data.

    Checked 2026-10-04

  • AI Search Watcher Qualified

    Vendor promises a view of how models describe the brand, but publishes no sentiment score or named attribute set, so the depth of that reporting is unstated.

    Checked 2026-09-17

  • AI Sightline Qualified

    A sentiment (BSI) score ships on every tier, but its trend line needs Starter and competitor BSI needs Pro; no attribute-level perception breakdown is documented.

    Checked 2026-09-20

  • Archytas AISpy Yes

    Entity and language analysis reports the people, organisations, products and topics engines attach to your prompts over time; sentiment is not a built-in score, you obtain it by firing a follow-on question at a model of your choice.

    Checked 2026-10-04

  • Bloomiro Qualified

    A 0-100 tone score is produced from sentences containing the detected mention, which is sentiment only; no attribute or trait association is described anywhere on the site.

    Sentiment scoring exists with per-verdict source quotes across three engines, but the vendor labels it experimental, ships it off by default and requires a third-party TypeSafe key.

    Checked 2026-10-03

  • CheckThat.ai Qualified

    Sentiment is claimed once on the Overview page and rendered as a positive or negative marker on brand cards, but no attribute-level perception analysis is described and the paid platform's docs never mention sentiment at all.

    Checked 2026-09-11

  • CisionOne AI Visibility Yes

    Checked 2026-09-26

The population

122 listings in this index are Published. This is the population as of 2026-10-13. 122 of the 122 published listings in this index carry a settled answer for “How AI describes you”. That row asks: Does it show which attributes AI associates with the brand, and why? Every listing in the index is settled on this row, so nothing is left out.

Findings

  1. 64 of the 122 settled listings answer “Yes” for “How AI describes you”. That is 52% of the settled set.

  2. 41 of the 122 settled listings answer “Qualified” for “How AI describes you”. That is 34% of the settled set.

  3. 12 of the 122 settled listings answer “No” for “How AI describes you”. That is 10% of the settled set.

  4. 5 of the 122 settled listings answer “Not established” for “How AI describes you”. That is 4% of the settled set.

1 of those yes answers is Rankshift, which still answers yes for “How AI describes you”. Its listing carries the stored answer and links to the source recorded for it. This is one worked example, not an independent audit of every source in the census.

What we counted, and how

Each figure above is a count over the “How AI describes you” row of the listing datasheet, taken from the same stored answer the listing page renders. The denominator is the 122 listings whose answer is settled, meaning one of yes, qualified, no, does not apply, not established. On this row that is the whole index, because every listing has a recognised stored answer. Every number here is stored with the read-only query that reproduces it and re-run every sixty seconds against the live corpus, so a figure that stops reproducing surfaces as drift rather than as a stale sentence nobody notices. Our full method covers how a datasheet row is settled in the first place.

Limitations

This counts stored datasheet answers, not independently tested capabilities. A sourced answer can record a vendor statement or our reading of published evidence; this census does not re-fetch those sources. “Not established” means we have not established an answer. That can reflect vendor nondisclosure, blocked evidence, or unfinished research, not a no. An absent or unrecognised answer is excluded rather than treated as a researched finding. The figures are restated when the stored corpus changes; the date above is the count used for this published version, not a new verification of the vendors.
