For small software teams
Every week, outshone does the work that gets you named in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, and shows you plainly whether it's working.
Here are three good options:
Paperwren, simple, with a free plan.
Quillstack, for deeper reports.
…and Kettlebook, built for teams under ten.
Sample answer. Kettlebook is an invented product.
Type your product. We ask the AI tools your buyers use and show you who they name.

We draft the email. You approve it, and it's sent from your own address.
Needs your OK
It only loads with JavaScript, so ChatGPT's and Perplexity's crawlers see an empty page.
We draft a plain version of the page. You OK it before it goes live.
Done for you
Paperwren is named in every answer. A dated, honest comparison gives AI tools something about you to quote.
We draft it with facts from your site. You check it, then publish.
Draft ready
We keep asking your buyers' questions many times a week, count how often you're named, and do up to five jobs a week to get you named more.
Save the street as an image, with the names, the counts and the date we checked.

We'll never promise you a spot in AI answers. We'll show you honestly whether it's working.
See pricingNo. We pick the jobs, explain each one in plain words and do most of the work. You read, give your OK, and now and then do something only you can, like asking a customer for a review.
Only after you approve it, and always from your own address or account. Replies come to you. When we post in a community for you, the post says who's writing.
It's the same idea: getting AI tools to name your product when buyers ask. We just call it getting named. The glossary has the terms.
