Citaition

Citaition is an AI visibility monitoring platform built for marketing agencies and marketing teams. It tracks how brands are mentioned, positioned, and recommended across five AI surfaces - ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode - using API-based queries with web search enabled. Every brand analysis runs hundreds of queries across all monitored providers, covering the full buying journey: category searches, comparison queries, feature-specific questions, and use-case queries. Each AI response is analysed for brand mentions, recommendation strength, sentiment, competitive positioning, winner identification, and citation sources. Every brand added to the platform then gets specific, actionable tasks assigned to them and these tasks have been selected by data and strongly correlated with improvements in AI Visibility.

CitApp

CitApp is a citation and reference management tool built for students. You paste a link, a DOI or an ISBN, and CitApp reads the title, author, publication date and publisher from the page or the PDF, then formats a reference in any of 149 citation styles, including APA, MLA, Harvard, Chicago, Vancouver, IEEE and Oxford footnotes, plus the full CSL journal library and any style you build yourself. Sources are organised into projects and folders, and the finished reference list is generated for you. A browser extension saves a source from any page in one click, and a Google Docs add on inserts citations at your cursor and rebuilds the reference list as you write. Two features are specific to CitApp. The Academic Shield checks a paragraph a student has written against the source it cites, reporting how close it sits to the original wording, whether it fits the section it appears in, and whether the source actually supports the claim. The work log shows when a student collected their sources over time, which teachers can use as evidence of process rather than a finished bibliography appearing overnight. Saving sources in the web app is unlimited and free, and so is the full reference list and every export.
