AI Search Tools Free AI Search Tools\ Can AI Assistants Find And Recommend You? ========================================= For Teams Who Want To Be Named When A Buyer Asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini Or Perplexity. These tools are for marketers, founders and SEO teams who want their business named when a buyer asks an AI assistant for a recommendation. Two things have to be true for that to happen: the assistants’ crawlers can read your site, and the assistants name you in their answers. These tools check both, and show you what each assistant actually receives and says. ## The AI Search Tools - ### [AI Visibility Checker](https://groas.com/free-tools/ai-visibility-checker) Ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Grok the question your customers ask, and see whether they recommend you or a competitor.

Two things. First, access: whether the crawlers that ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google’s AI use are allowed to read your page, and what they receive when they do. Second, the answers: whether an assistant names you or a competitor when it is asked the question your customers ask. ### If AI crawlers can read my site, will AI assistants recommend me? Not necessarily. Access is the first condition, not the result. An assistant that can read your site may still name a competitor, and that is what the AI Visibility Checker shows you. ### What is an llms.txt file? It is a plain-text file at the top of a website, yoursite.com/llms.txt, that tells AI tools what the site is and where its most useful pages are. It is a guide, not a second sitemap, and there is no evidence that it improves how an assistant ranks you. Treat it as a cheap, tidy signpost. ### What do the AI search tools cost? A work email opens every free tool on the site, and you give it once. Personal mailboxes are not accepted. The AI Crawler Checker and the llms.txt Generator cost nothing more. The AI Visibility Checker asks five assistants on your own OpenRouter account, so you pay the AI companies directly: a full check costs about 10 to 35 cents, and groas adds nothing on top. ## More Free Tools - [Google Ads Tools7 toolsFind wasted spend, check your tracking and work out what a budget buys.See The Tools](https://groas.com/free-tools/google-ads-tools) - [Meta Ads Tools4 toolsSee which Facebook and Instagram ads are worn out, what competitors run and what to say next.See The Tools](https://groas.com/free-tools/meta-ads-tools) - [Competitor And Customer Research Tools2 toolsLearn what competitors run and what customers say, in their own words.See The Tools](https://groas.com/free-tools/competitor-research-tools) - [Ad Budget Calculators2 toolsWork out what clicks cost, what a budget buys and the return you need to break even.See The Tools](https://groas.com/free-tools/ad-calculators) - [All Free Tools12 toolsEvery free tool from groas on one page, sorted by what it is for.See The Tools](https://groas.com/free-tools) ## Paid Ads & SEO, Run For You Book a consultation: groas looks at your accounts and builds a plan and a fixed monthly fee around them. 7-day money-back guarantee.
