# Perciva

> Perciva is an AI Buyer Perception Monitor for B2B SaaS companies. It tracks what AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude) say about your brand on buyer-intent prompts and alerts you to risky claims, competitor displacement, and citation loss.

## What Is AI Buyer Perception Monitoring?

AI Buyer Perception Monitoring is the practice of systematically tracking how AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude describe your product to potential buyers on comparison, pricing, and evaluation prompts. Unlike traditional brand monitoring, it focuses on the exact AI-generated answers that influence B2B purchasing decisions.

## What Perciva Does

Perciva monitors AI-generated answers on real buyer-intent prompts — the exact questions potential customers ask AI when evaluating software. It extracts claims about your pricing, integrations, security, and competitors, then alerts you when something changes or is incorrect.

## Key Features

- **Prompt Pack Monitoring**: Track curated sets of buyer-intent prompts across categories like pricing, integrations, security, and competitor comparisons.
- **Answer Capture & Diffs**: Full AI answer snapshots with side-by-side diff views showing exactly what changed between monitoring cycles.
- **Claim Extraction**: Automatically extract and classify claims AI makes about your brand as accurate, outdated, or false.
- **Risk Flags**: Instant alerts for incorrect claims, weakened positioning, or competitor displacement.
- **Competitor Displacement Alerts**: Get notified when a competitor starts appearing in your brand's AI answers.
- **Citation Tracking**: Monitor which sources AI engines cite when discussing your brand.
- **Multi-Engine Coverage**: Monitor ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude simultaneously.
- **Action Hints**: Each alert includes a recommended fix: which page to update and what to add.
- **AI Buyer Perception Snapshots**: Free one-time reports showing how AI currently represents your brand.

## Common Questions

**Q: Why should I care what AI says about my product?**
A: Because 85% of B2B buyers now ask AI before visiting your website. If ChatGPT says your pricing is 'expensive' or Perplexity recommends a competitor instead of you, buyers never tell you why they didn't book a demo — they just don't show up.

**Q: What do I get that a visibility score doesn't give me?**
A: Perciva shows you the actual problems — 'AI is telling buyers your pricing starts at $79 (it's actually $29)' and 'CompetitorX replaced you on 4 comparison prompts this week.' Every alert comes with a specific fix.

**Q: How is Perciva different from SEO tools?**
A: SEO tools optimize for Google search rankings. Perciva monitors what AI chatbots say about you on buyer-intent prompts — a completely different surface. You can rank #1 on Google and still be misrepresented in ChatGPT.

**Q: How much does one wrong AI answer cost my pipeline?**
A: For most B2B SaaS companies, a single deal is worth $5K–$50K+ annually. One wrong claim across thousands of buyer queries adds up fast. Perciva starts at $49/mo.

**Q: Which AI engines does Perciva support?**
A: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. Support for Copilot and other emerging AI interfaces is being added.
