Sleepwalker

What is Sleepwalker?

Sleepwalker is an AI-visibility and content-intelligence toolkit reachable natively through MCP, a REST API, a CLI and a web console, rather than a dashboard-only app. It runs prompts against ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok and Gemini to show how a brand appears in AI answers, and separately scores and serializes any public page for AI-search readiness. Pricing is pure pay-as-you-go credits, €0.02 each, €5 minimum top-up (250 credits), with 10 free credits on signup and no credit card required, rather than a subscription tier. The GitHub repo behind it is maintained by a single developer, Anton Gorobets.

What does Sleepwalker do?

A user creates a free account, generates an API key, and either scripts checks through the REST API or CLI, or connects Sleepwalker's MCP server so an agent (for example Claude) can run actions directly inside a conversation. An AI Visibility Run fires a chosen prompt at ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok and Gemini and returns each engine's full response plus which domains were cited and whether the tracked brand or its named competitors were mentioned, at 1 credit per engine checked. A separate Content Intelligence Run (2-6 credits) scores a public URL's topical coverage and freshness, flags gaps against what AI search currently rewards, and stores the report in the account console. Two smaller utilities round things out: Trend Discovery surfaces the themes AI search already cites around a page, category or market, and Page Serialization converts any URL into clean, structured markdown for an agent or workflow to consume. That serialization step, run via the CLI's okf export command, is free, requires no account or API key, and works entirely locally. Reading back any stored run or report is free; only the actions that actually call an AI model cost credits.

How Sleepwalker works

1. 1Create a free account and generate an API key, then script checks through the REST API or CLI, or connect Sleepwalker's MCP server so an agent like Claude can run actions directly inside a conversation.
2. 2An AI Visibility Run fires a chosen prompt at ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok and Gemini and returns each engine's full response plus which domains were cited and whether the brand or named competitors were mentioned, at 1 credit per engine checked.
3. 3A Content Intelligence Run scores a public URL's topical coverage and freshness and flags gaps against what AI search currently rewards.
4. 4Run the free, local okf export command to convert any URL into clean, structured markdown with zero credits, account or API key required — reading back any stored run or report is also free.

Who is Sleepwalker for?

• Developers and AI-agent-building teams that want AI-visibility checks and content scoring reachable natively through MCP, a REST API or a CLI, without a monthly subscription.
• Teams that want a free, local, credential-free way to see exactly what an AI crawler would extract from a page before spending any money on a full visibility check.
• Budget-conscious teams that want cost to scale directly with usage — pure pay-as-you-go credits at €0.02 each — rather than a flat monthly seat.

Key features

• MCP + API + CLI native: Visibility runs, content reports and page serialization are all reachable through an MCP server, a REST API and a terminal CLI, not bolted onto a web dashboard as an afterthought.
• Free local OKF export: sleepwalker okf export converts any public URL into structured markdown locally, with zero credits, account or API key required.
• Multi-engine AI Visibility Run: Fires one prompt at ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok and Gemini in a single run and reports citations, brand mentions and competitor mentions per engine.
• Content Intelligence scoring: Scores a page's topical coverage and freshness and stores the full report in the console, separate from the visibility-check workflow.
• Pay-as-you-go credits, no subscription: €0.02 per credit with a €5 minimum top-up and no recurring plan, cost scales with actual usage rather than a flat monthly seat.

What are Sleepwalker's use cases?

• Agent-triggered visibility check: A developer wires Sleepwalker's MCP server into Claude so an agent can check brand visibility on demand mid-conversation, without opening a separate dashboard.
• CI-scripted brand monitoring: A team scripts a periodic sleepwalker visibility run call into an existing CI or cron job to log ChatGPT/Perplexity/Grok/Gemini mentions alongside its other automated reports.
• Zero-cost content check before publishing: A writer runs the free local okf export on a draft URL to see the exact structured content an AI crawler would extract, before spending any credits on a full Content Intelligence score.

What does Sleepwalker integrate with?

• Claude (MCP)

Why use Sleepwalker?

• Native MCP + API + CLI access from day one, most competitors in this directory gate programmatic access behind a paid or Enterprise tier; here it's core to every account.
• Pay-as-you-go credits (€0.02 each, €5 minimum) mean no forced monthly subscription, cost scales with actual usage.
• A free, local, credential-free CLI export (okf export) shows how an AI crawler would read a page before spending a single credit.
• 10 free credits on signup, no credit card required, cover one full 4-engine brand check.

Sleepwalker review

Sleepwalker's real differentiator is how you reach it: MCP, a REST API and a CLI are the native interface, not an add-on bolted onto a dashboard, and pure pay-as-you-go credits (€0.02 each, €5 minimum) mean there's no forced monthly seat. A free, local okf export command that needs no account is a genuinely useful zero-cost utility on its own. But the product is thin on the trust side: no G2, Capterra, Trustpilot or Product Hunt listing exists anywhere, there's no published team or company page, and it tracks four engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, Gemini), missing Claude and Copilot, which LLM Pulse and AIclicks both cover. It suits a developer or agent-building team that wants programmatic-first access and is comfortable vetting a very new, single-maintainer product; a buyer who wants a proven, GUI-first tool with a track record should look at GeoRankers or AthenaHQ instead.

Listed for genuinely API/MCP/CLI-native access and pay-as-you-go pricing in a category still dominated by dashboard-first, subscription-only tools, flagged for zero independent reviews and no published team information at verification time.
