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

Strengths
  • Real browser sessions capture what users actually see, not API approximations.
  • MCP server integration enables conversational queries on brand data.
  • Self-hosted Docker deployment with residential proxy option.
Weaknesses
  • Brand monitoring category already has established SEO tools.
  • Running browser sessions at scale requires proxy costs or IP risk.

Post Description

I built TraceAIO, an open-source tool that prompts LLMs on your behalf and tells you whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini mention your brand — and which competitors and sources show up instead.

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.

CabbageSEO: Check if AI mentions your business, then fix it if not

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.
