Open source

What is AI Visibility Monitor?

AI Visibility Monitor, or AVM, is a free command-line tool from Work Smart AI. It takes the questions your buyers might ask AI assistants and runs them against ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity using your own API keys. Instead of only reporting whether you are cited, it scores neighboring queries the authors believe you could realistically win within a couple of months, shows which competitors own the citation on each query, and classifies which kinds of sources drive citations in your category, such as press, blogs, forums or communities. It also tracks visibility week over week, and Google Search Console is among the topics the repo lists. Everything runs locally and the data stays with you. It is MIT licensed and written in Python, so it suits technically comfortable marketers and developers.
