About

An independent bureau of record.

RecommendedByAI is a small, independent project building the verification layer between what AI assistants recommend and commerce. Our credibility is the method, not our size.

01 Why this exists

A new shelf, unmeasured.

When a shopper asks an assistant what to buy, a few products make the list and the rest disappear. That list is a real distribution channel — invisible, changing per query, and until now unverifiable. We exist to make it measurable, provable and honest.

02 What we are — and aren't

Verification, not visibility.

We are a verification bureau: we measure recommendation — what an assistant actually tells a buyer to buy — and make it auditable. We are not an SEO tool, an "AI visibility" dashboard, or an agency that promises to make AI recommend you. We can't promise that, and we don't sell it.

03 Principles of honesty

The rules we hold ourselves to.

  • Earned, not bought. No payment changes eligibility, ever.
  • Factual claims only. Observed frequency, with a denominator, date and scope — never "the best".
  • Independent. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OpenAI, Google, Perplexity, or any provider.
  • No fabricated proof. No invented logos, testimonials, awards or scale. No brand appears as verified before its evidence does.
  • Auditable or it doesn't ship. Every record is reproducible from its raw observations.
  • Revocable. Signal that drifts is retired automatically, not kept.
04 Where we are

Honest about the stage.

The site is staging. The method is at v0.2.2 and thresholds are provisional. The worked example (Carets · office) uses our own measured data. We are building end-to-end for a single real case before publishing externally — deliberately, not at scale.
