What is new in Variask

New features and improvements, as they ship.

  1. Brand perception, objections and personas

    • Brand perception: the qualities AI ties to you and to each rival, with every score linked to the answers behind it.
    • Objections: the reasons AI gives against choosing you, with a suggested fix for each.
    • Brand map: every tracked brand by visibility and sentiment, on the Competitors page.
    • Personas: ask any prompt as a type of buyer, such as a CFO or a student.
    • Read but not cited: the pages AI read while answering and passed over, including your own.

  2. Five new free tools and a library of guides

    • What AI sees: read any page the way AI crawlers do, without JavaScript.
    • AI citation readiness checker, AI prompt idea generator, FAQ schema generator and an AI visibility ROI calculator.
    • New guides on AEO vs SEO, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Mode, AI traffic in GA4, ChatGPT Shopping and fixing wrong AI facts.
    • Industry, country and AI engine pages, free templates, and live research on the sites AI cites most.

  3. Variask University, glossary, blog and MCP

    • Variask University with free courses on AI search.
    • An AI search glossary with 47 terms, and the Variask blog.
    • Variask MCP server, so Claude, Cursor and other AI tools can use your Variask data.
    • UCP readiness checker for stores preparing for AI shopping agents.
    • Monthly plans start with a 7 day trial for $1. Custom plans for enterprise and agency teams.

  4. A new Variask Agent and dashboard

    • The Variask Agent was rebuilt to answer questions about your AI visibility and suggest next steps.
    • A calmer dashboard with dark mode, an overview greeting, compact filters and a KPI strip.
    • Track a primary market for each brand.

  5. Local taxes and currencies at checkout

    • Payments moved to Dodo Payments, with local taxes and currencies at checkout.

  6. AI crawler rules and llms-full.txt

    • AI crawler guidance for robots.txt, page level schema and page FAQs across the site.

  7. Private AI requests

    • AI requests are only sent to providers that do not store or train on your prompts, where the engine offers that choice.

  8. Likely ranges, smart alerts and brand accuracy

    • Every visibility score shows a likely range, and every change is judged as real or normal noise.
    • Repeat answers per prompt, so one odd answer does not swing a score.
    • Smart alerts and a brand accuracy monitor that catches wrong facts.
    • AI shopping view, and LLM analytics: crawl to click, bot types, coverage and visitors from AI.
    • Markets by country, city and language for every brand.

  9. Variask launches

    • AI visibility tracking across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode.
    • Prompts with bulk edit, import and export, query fan out capture, sources and competitors.
    • Content tools with a readiness score, site audit with an issues manager, and one click fixes.

    • Team seats, yearly billing and step by step onboarding.
