Tech Knowledge Base Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kyoto Prefecture, CEO: Shota Nagafuchi, hereinafter 'the Company') has started offering the beta version of 'Sighted', an AEO monitoring tool and AIO monitoring tool equipped with the latest AI technology.
Sighted is an AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) monitoring tool originating from Japan. It cross-analyzes the citation and recommendation status of your brand across major AIs such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, revealing at a glance 'what questions your company is cited for', 'how you differ from competitors', and 'what kind of content you need to create to win' through a unique competitor comparison map.
We have received numerous comments from early adopters saying, 'We saw a completely different landscape from the SEO ranking tables.'

"Does your company come up when you ask ChatGPT?"
"Our company ranks #1 in SEO. But when we ask ChatGPT the same thing, only our competitors' names come up."
In our AEO consulting field, this kind of consultation is rapidly increasing.
This is not a coincidence. While Google Search ranks 'which pages are most relevant', generative AIs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity judge 'which sources are most reliable and should be incorporated into the answer'. Because the evaluation criteria are fundamentally different, SEO success does not guarantee exposure in AI search.
US research firm Gartner predicts that 'by 2026, traditional search engine volume will drop by 25%'. As it becomes commonplace for consumers to ask ChatGPT or Perplexity 'What are your recommendations for...?', whether or not a company is included in AI answers is becoming one of the most important variables in future marketing strategies.
That is exactly why grasping the current situation using an AEO monitoring tool is essential.
Existing AEO monitoring tools could only measure 'points'
A number of monitoring tools for AEO/AIO measures have already appeared domestically and internationally. It has become possible to measure "points" such as "was our company mentioned for this keyword?" or "how many times was it cited?"
However, what marketers really want to know is more multi-dimensional information.
"Which question areas are we winning in? Conversely, where are we losing to competitors? What is the cause, and where should we start to reverse the situation?"
To answer this question, citation evaluation is needed not as keyword-level 'points', but as 'areas' that overlook the entire question domain.
Sighted is a next-generation AEO monitoring tool that realizes the visualization of this 'area' through a unique evaluation algorithm.
