namedly: the tool behind our own study.

namedly is bytebrise’s own SaaS product for AI visibility audits: it checks across three AI engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) with eight purchase-intent prompts whether a business appears in AI answers. Live on namedly.io, with a free lite check. On this basis we ran our own study of 20 businesses and 1,200 queries.

Starting point

Being visible on Google is no longer enough. More and more people ask ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini directly for a recommendation, a dentist, a trade business, a law firm, and the AI answer decides which name comes up at all. For most businesses, it’s unclear whether they ever appear in these answers.

We wanted to measure this instead of just claiming it, so we built namedly.

Concept & Design

A business isn’t asked just once, it’s checked across several AI models and several realistic purchase-intent questions at the same time. Every run covers three engines, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, with eight different questions each, making 24 individual checks per business.

Anyone who first just wants to know where they stand can start with the free lite check, no payment required.

Build

namedly is a web app: enter your website and industry, an automated query runs across the three AI engines, and the result is evaluated by mention rate. No manual copying between tools, one run, one result.

Live Operation

namedly runs live at namedly.io. We built the measurement for our own study on this tool, most recently in October 2026: 20 real businesses across 10 industries, 1,200 queries. Without web search the AI named none of the businesses, with web search 6 of 20. The full methodology and all the figures are in the AI Visibility Study.

What we take from it

Our own study was the first real stress test for namedly, not a demo run. The evaluation logic and report structure that came out of it now feed into every client audit.
