Frequently Asked Questions

Brand Presence Intelligence is the continuous practice of monitoring, shaping, and acting on how your brand exists in the world's discovery systems - LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude, AI Overviews, Perplexity, and traditional search. DataEase AI is the operating-system layer that makes it a discipline a single founder can run.

DataEase AI is an AI-powered discovery and growth platform for founder-led businesses, built on Brand Presence Intelligence. It identifies where buyers overlook your brand across AI search, prioritizes the opportunities that matter, and puts AI agents to work preparing improvements, with you in control. Brand Intelligence is the core surface (the presence score); Pages, Dashboard, FormsAI and AI Agents support it.

Discovery has collapsed into a single AI-generated answer. When a customer asks "what's the best [thing] in my category?", they get one paragraph naming two or three companies - no second page, no scrolling. If you're not in the answer, you don't exist.

LLMs are trained on the past. New companies aren't in the citation graph, so when someone asks an AI about your category, it names incumbents that existed when the model was trained - like Linear, Notion, and Vercel. New entrants face a structural disadvantage that "build a great product" no longer solves.

(1) Brand Readiness - fundamentals and identity, scored across 7 pillars (Name, Digital Presence, Visual Identity, Messaging, Trust, AI Readiness, Authority). The foundation. (2) Web Presence - domain authority and AI referral traffic. (3) AI Visibility - whether AI engines name the brand in category answers, in what context, against which competitors. The three roll up into a composite Brand Presence Score.

Founders. Enterprise BPI tooling costs $30k/year and needs a team to run. DataEase AI is built so a solo founder can operate brand presence intelligence as a discipline - runs in the background, generates one-click actions, treats presence as integral to the rest of the company.

DataEase AI has no perpetual free tier, but your workspace shows the available onboarding credits and your workspace shows the available balance before you run a scan. After that, Pay As You Go is $20 per 50 credits with no subscription, or a plan starts at $79/mo billed monthly. See the pricing page.

Mission control for brand presence. Watch your Brand Presence Score, citations earned across LLMs, AI mentions, perception sentiment, and category rank - the metric founders watch like MRR.

The citation funnel input layer. FormsAI captures leads who discovered you through AI - tagging which LLM, which query, which citation drove them. Every response also becomes FAQ schema that lifts your AI legibility.

FormsAI captures how each lead discovered you and your Dashboard aggregates it - which LLM, which query, what it said - so you can score leads by citation channel and convert brand presence into measurable revenue.

The core BPI surface. Brand Presence Score rolled up across all 3 BPI components (Brand Readiness with its 7 pillars, Web Presence, and AI Visibility), strategy wizard, citation network manager, presence calendar, and the AI Presence Advisor that watches what LLMs say about you and recommends one-click actions.

Yes, once you improve AI brand visibility there is traffic to capture. Brand Intelligence includes branded, embeddable lead-capture forms that turn the traffic you earn from AI answers and search into first-party leads you own. Captured leads show up as a dedicated "Leads you captured" metric beside your AI Traffic Funnel, and the forms keep working even when Google Analytics is disconnected.

The citable corpus AI engines learn from. Schema-tagged white papers, case studies, FAQs, and pitch decks LLMs can parse and quote - the source material that shapes how you're described. Also covers proposals, contracts, and investor updates with live data bindings.

Your public-facing brand presence surface. Schema-first pages with FAQ, HowTo, and comparison markup baked in - the surface LLMs scan, AI Overviews cite, and Perplexity quotes. Citation-ready by default.

The autonomous presence layer. Agents monitor what ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini say about you, find citation gaps, and draft fixes when an LLM describes you wrong. DataEase AI orchestrates your agents and reports back in a daily Founder Digest - and drafts wait for your approval by default. Where Sites is enabled, you can explicitly opt into auto-publishing for blog posts or site pages.

A daily or weekly summary from DataEase AI, the platform that runs your agents. It reports what each agent found and fixed - visibility moves, new mentions, AI readiness gaps, and drafted pages awaiting approval - in one read instead of a raw activity log. Drafts wait for approval by default. Where Sites is enabled, auto-publishing is an explicit setting you control.

A free AI-powered tool at logos.dataease.ai that creates professional logos for startups in seconds.

A free tool at brands.dataease.ai that scores your Brand Presence across all 7 Brand Readiness pillars plus an AI Visibility composite (Visibility, Trust, Recommendation), and runs free head-to-head brand comparisons. The AI Visibility score reads your public signals to predict whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews are likely to recommend you, rather than querying the models live.

No, the Logo Generator and Brand Analyzer are completely free and require no signup.

Contribute anonymized data to the DataEase AI network and earn credits. Spend credits to enrich contacts with company info, job titles, and social profiles.

Yes. DataEase AI uses industry-standard encryption and security practices. Your data is never shared without your consent.

Yes, export contacts, form submissions, and documents anytime via CSV or API.

Credits are the usage unit and you choose how to buy them. Your workspace shows the available onboarding credits. Pay As You Go is $20 per 50 credits with no subscription. Starter is $79/mo for 300 credits, 1 brand, 1 seat and limited scheduled checks; billing is monthly-only. Growth is $199/mo for 900 credits, 3 brands, and 5 seats. Business is $399/mo for 2,000 credits, unlimited brands, and unlimited seats. Growth and Business yearly billing gives 2 months free - $1,990 a year for Growth and $3,990 for Business. Full details on the pricing page.

Every plan monitors 3 engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. The Business plan adds Claude and Grok for 5 in total. Each engine you track is scored the same way - whether you are named, how you are described, and how you compare to the competitors named alongside you. See the pricing page for per-plan limits.

Plan credits do not roll over - unused Growth or Business credits reset at each billing cycle. Credits you buy separately in a credit pack do roll over and stay in your balance until you spend them, on Pay As You Go and on plans alike.

There is no time-limited trial. Instead, your workspace shows the available onboarding credits with no credit card required, so you can run real scans and only buy more credits when you need them.

We offer special pricing for early-stage startups. Contact us to learn more.

It is one less password to manage and no verification email to chase. Your DataEase AI account is created the first time you continue with Google, so there is no separate sign-up form, and we never ask for or store a password.

Brand discovery, which works out your competitors, personas and the questions buyers ask, is free and does not touch them. Your credits go to the scans: choose an AI visibility run on ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini or an audit of your brand site within your available balance. Every scan shows its price before it runs.

Scans, page audits and generated content, never the dashboards or the reporting. Your balance and full history are visible in the app, each scan shows its price before it runs, and a failed run is refunded automatically. Re-auditing a single fixed page costs 1 credit.

Continue with Google at app.dataease.ai/register and add your brand domain. Your workspace shows your available onboarding credits. Brand discovery then baselines your competitors and buyer questions for 0 credits, and you bring in the supporting capabilities (FormsAI, Pages, Dashboard, AI Agents) as you need them. No credit card, no trial timer.

Yes, import contacts via CSV, connect forms, and migrate documents easily.

DataEase AI provides API access for integrations and custom workflows.

No. DataEase AI (dataease.ai) is a Brand Presence Intelligence platform for founders. It is unrelated to DataEase, the open-source business intelligence and data visualization tool, to the Shopify app of the same name, and to the 1980s DataEase database. If you are looking for dashboards over a SQL database, you want one of those projects, not us.

DataEase AI is an early-stage product, so there are not yet third-party review listings to point you to. The most honest picture today is the public changelog, which records what shipped and when, and the free Brand Analyzer, which lets you test the scoring on your own brand before creating an account. If you want to speak to a customer, contact us and we will arrange it.
