# Sleepwalker AI — Pay-as-you-go AI visibility and content intelligence runs via Console, API, MCP and CLI. > Source: CitedIndex — https://citedindex.com/sleepwalker (structured, researched, re-verified) > Facts last verified: 2026-10-09 Sleepwalker AI is a credit-metered toolkit that probes AI answer platforms with prompts for a target brand and returns mentions, competitors and cited sources. The same actions also serialize pages, discover trends and score content, reachable from a console, API, MCP server or CLI. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Website | https://www.sleepwalker.ai | | Price | from €5/month pay-as-you-go | | Free trial | Partly | 10 free credits granted on signup with no credit card required, enough for roughly one default run across all four platforms (11 credits for a four-platform default run). Reading results, listing runs and polling status are normally unmetered. There is no standing free plan beyond the one-off grant. ## What it does **Monitors AI answers** · Yes — Core product: it sends prompts to AI platforms for a named brand and reports whether the brand was mentioned in the answers, per platform and market. > AI Visibility measures how AI systems answer prompts about a market, brand, product, category, or problem. > — https://www.sleepwalker.ai/docs/workflows/ai-visibility/ · AI Visibility page, opening sentence above the Probes section **Optimises your content** · Yes — Content Intelligence scores an existing URL for topical coverage, sufficiency and freshness and returns up to three prioritised recommendations on what to change. > Content Intelligence analyzes whether a page is strong enough for AI search and AI answer engines. > — https://www.sleepwalker.ai/docs/workflows/content-intelligence/ · Content Intelligence Workflow, intro line above the Main Steps table **Generates content** · No — The vendor's own inventory of what the product does stops at measuring, serializing, scoring and reporting;
