Built because buyers stopped searching and started asking

The problem

Search used to mean a list of blue links you could rank in. Now a growing share of buyers just ask an AI assistant "what's the best X" and act on whatever it says — often without clicking through to a single website. If your brand isn't in that answer, you're invisible to that buyer, no matter how well you rank on Google.

There wasn't a fast, free, honest way to check that. So we built one.

What we actually check

Mentioned asks Claude 5 realistic buyer questions about your category and reports, plainly, how many of the 5 answers mentioned your brand — with the exact quote when you're there, and the names of who got recommended instead when you're not. See the full methodology.

We check Claude only today. We're not going to tell you it checks more than that — see the next section.

Why honesty is the whole product

A citation checker is worthless if you can't trust its results. That shapes every decision here:

• Every mention, snippet, and competitor name in your results is a real substring of what the AI actually said — never fabricated, never hand-tuned.
• Marketing copy states current provider coverage accurately. We check Claude; we say we check Claude.
• If a paid plan exists, it buys quota and features — never a better score or a suppressed competitor.
• The free tier stays genuinely useful. It isn't a bait-and-switch teaser for a paid plan.

Where this is headed

Next up, roughly in order: more AI providers beyond Claude, saved check history, and the Pro plan for teams that want to run checks continuously instead of 5 times a day. Nothing here is promised on a date — we'd rather ship it and update this page than announce it early.

Who's building it

Mentioned is built by Alejandro Rioja. It runs on Cloudflare Workers with Claude as the AI provider, and it's a small, focused product — not a large team pretending to be one.
