Does AI recommend your brand, or your competitor? I’m Robert Hu. I built Recoscope to make those answers visible. We ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity consistent shopper questions. Then we publish what they said. A brand can be mentioned most often without ranking first. In our protein powder snapshot, three ranked comparisons produced three different first choices. We separate brand mentions from explicit rankings, and show the dates, prompts and collection notes. These are captured answers, not product-quality ratings. Subscribe for benchmark briefs. Explore benchmark at getrecoscope.com.
Example: Protein Powder · October 27, 2026 · 12 usable answers · Four AI assistants · Three prompt types. Claude’s comparative answer was unranked. Narration uses Robert Hu’s authorized AI voice clone.

“Recent” means published within 45 days. Dates show when answers were collected; reports are snapshots, not continuous monitoring.
Browse all categories →How it works
From shopper question to inspectable evidence.
01
Ask consistent questions
Three prompt types cover broad discovery, a budget constraint, and a brand comparison. Repeat collections reuse the saved persona and wording.
02
Keep the answer and its context
Responses are recorded from consumer interfaces, with collection failures, model settings, and usable-answer coverage kept explicit.
03
Separate presence from preference
A brand counts once per usable answer. Only explicitly supported positions become numeric ranks; alternatives and criticism remain visible.
