Sonde – Open-source LLM analytics (track brand mentions across LLMs)
Fills genuine pain: 'found via ChatGPT' can't be measured with old SEO tools—self-host or SaaS.

Browser-based querying bypasses anti-bot detection where APIs fail.

Yeah, this category smells a bit like a grift, same as early SEO. And I think over time it will become just SEO again, and become about good content. The tool just helps you monitor over time.
It queries the browser products through real browser sessions, not APIs, runs on Docker, with an MCP server so you can query your own data through an LLM.
No business model, Apache 2.0, self hosted. If you use a residential proxy instead of running the browser locally I get a few cents via referral, not even enough to cover my token costs.

Long on-and-off project, finally happy to show it. Feedback welcome.

Brand Entity Kit fixes LLM hallucinations when Prolific and AirOps just track rankings.
Solves a real new problem, but the market is barely formed and validation is weak.
Tracks AI citations over time when BrightData and Olostep only offer raw scraping.
WildChat dataset matching for AI brand visibility, but e-commerce focus limits appeal.
Cross-checks ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI for whether they cite your site, then surfaces the exact buyer questions you're missing and auto-generates 'fix pages' with tables, FAQ blocks and Schema.org-ready markup. It even gives shareable report URLs and an OpenClaw skill to prove visibility to stakeholders — clever, practical tooling for anyone worried about LLM-driven referral loss, though expect churn from changing model answers and API limits.
