How do AI systems describe your competitors vs your brand?
Your competitor just got mentioned in ChatGPT. You didn't. That's not random—and now you can understand exactly why.
Competitive Intelligence is VectorGap's system for monitoring how AI perceives your competitors compared to your brand. When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity for product recommendations, these AI systems mention a limited number of options—AI visibility is zero-sum. Some brands actively optimize their AI presence through structured content, comprehensive documentation, and authoritative source mentions. They get recommended while competitors wonder why leads dried up. VectorGap runs the same perception audits on competitors that you run on yourself, providing side-by-side comparisons across all metrics: visibility, sentiment, accuracy, coverage, credibility, and recommendation rate. The 5-dimension diagnostic shows exactly why competitors rank higher—whether it's Entity Health, Source Presence, or Content Structure—so you know precisely what gaps to close.
Why is AI visibility a zero-sum game?
When someone asks "What's the best CRM for startups?", AI mentions a few options. Not all of them. Visibility is limited real estate, and your competitors are fighting for it.
Some brands actively optimize their AI presence—creating structured content, building comprehensive documentation, getting mentioned in authoritative sources. They show up. Others wonder why leads dried up.
Competitive intelligence shows you exactly where you stand, who's winning, and where the gaps are.

Frequently Asked Questions about Competitive Intelligence
AI Competitive Intelligence monitors how AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity perceive and recommend your competitors compared to your brand. It matters because AI visibility is zero-sum—when someone asks "What's the best CRM for startups?", AI mentions a few options, not all. If competitors actively optimize their AI presence while you don't, they capture the limited visibility real estate. Understanding the competitive landscape helps you identify gaps and prioritize optimization efforts.
VectorGap runs the same perception audits on competitors that it runs on your brand—same metrics (Visibility, Sentiment, Accuracy, Coverage, Credibility, Recommendation), same AI platforms, same methodology. You get side-by-side comparisons showing exactly where competitors outperform you and why. The 5-dimension diagnostic (Technical, Entity Health, Content Structure, Source Presence, Consistency) identifies specific gaps you can close.
