drop your SaaS. i’ll test whether AI thinks of it before you tell it the name

not another landing page roast.

i’ve been testing something a little stranger.

marketing has this old concept called “mental availability” — basically, knowing a brand exists is different from actually thinking of it when a buying situation happens.

i’m starting to think AI assistants now have their own version of that.

ChatGPT can know exactly what your product does when you give it the name…

and still never think of you when someone just describes the problem.

so drop your SaaS below.

for the first ~10-15 I’ll:

look at the site first and figure out who the actual buyer seems to be

come up with a few situations where that person would realistically start looking for something like it

ask ChatGPT / Gemini / Claude / Perplexity without mentioning your company

and reply here with:

whether you appeared

who showed up instead

whether the models understood your category properly

and the most interesting gap I can see

no need to sign up for anything.

just drop:

url + one sentence on who you think buys it

also full disclosure because reddit is reddit: I’m building a product around this methodology. but I’d rather make the thread useful on its own than turn it into a pitch.

curious how many products are technically “known” by AI but completely absent from the situations where somebody would actually discover them.
