Frequently asked questions
What does AI answer monitoring actually look at?
Public AI assistants, AI search summaries, customer service chatbots, distributor and ecommerce chatbots, and how all of these answer real product questions across regions and languages.
How is this different from SEO or GEO?
SEO and GEO focus on visibility and ranking. AI answer monitoring focuses on the accuracy, safety, completeness, and regional appropriateness of the answer itself.
Can findings be reviewed against our IFUs and labeling?
Yes. Observed answers can be compared against approved labeling, IFUs, and product claims you provide, with traceability in each finding.
Does this replace post-market surveillance?
No. Findings are designed to support internal review and decision-making. They do not replace required complaint handling, PMS, regulatory, or quality system processes.
Can monitoring run on a recurring cycle?
Yes. Monitoring can be scoped as a one-time audit or run on monthly or quarterly cycles with trend reporting.
