Problem
As AI assistants increasingly become the primary source of information for buyers, voters, journalists, and regulators, organizations are losing control of their narratives. AI-generated answers are built from whatever content the assistant can find and trust, meaning competitors, opponents, or outdated sources can define an organization's reputation at machine scale, often without the organization's knowledge or input.
Solution
Suede provides a comprehensive AI optimization and monitoring platform that tracks how major AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, Grok, and Perplexity describe an organization, its products, issues, and competitors. The platform runs millions of persona-specific prompts daily to capture AI responses, analyzes the sources and entity signals driving those answers, and pinpoints the content fixes needed to improve AI visibility and citation. Suede also deploys autonomous agents that monitor narratives around the clock, draft rapid-response content and corrections, and publish updates directly to CMS systems, closing the loop between insight and action. This enables organizations to move AI answers in their favor, whether for corporate reputation, public affairs, campaigns, or regulated industries.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprise organizations, including public affairs and policy teams, political campaigns and advocacy groups, corporations in regulated industries, and government contractors who need to manage their reputation and narrative in AI-generated answers.
