Profound
AI marketing platform that tracks brand visibility in AI answers and runs content agents
What is Profound?
Profound is an AI marketing platform built around AI search. Its Answer Engine Insights tracks how a brand and its competitors appear in answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and other engines, and Prompt Volumes estimates what people ask AI assistants. An agent called AI Marketer uses that data to research, write and report, and Agent Analytics tracks traffic from AI sources across your domains.
