AI ANSWERS AND AI SHOPPING

What AI says about you.
Why your products don’t show up.
What we do about it.

We ask five AI assistants the questions your buyers actually ask, and keep every answer. We name the one reason you were left out. And we go through your product data field by field, and check whether AI shopping results can read your products at all.

Free. No account, just a verified email.

HOW AI SHOPPING WORKS

AI shopping removes you before it ranks you.

Ask an assistant for something under a budget, in stock, delivered this week, and it throws out everything that does not match before it decides an order at all. An item whose price it cannot read is not ranked lower. It is dropped, and nobody sees it happen.

7get you removed

Leave one of these blank and the item is thrown out. It does not appear lower down. It does not appear.

8cost you position

Leave one of these blank and you are still in the running, further down.

We check both on every item, not on your product data as a whole. A field that fewer than 90% of your items carry counts as missing, because AI shopping does not stop and ask.

What is missingWhat it costsWhose morning
One of the 7 fields that get you removedThe sale. The item never appears.A merchandiser, usually one column in a spreadsheet
One of the 8 that decide positionA worse place among the products you are shown besideWhoever writes your titles and descriptions
Nothing. Everything is there and a rival was pickedNothing in your product data is wrongReputation and third-party coverage, over months

Telling those three apart is the whole job. A tool that only ever reports a fault is a tool that finds one whether or not there is one, and the third row is the finding we are most often able to make.

No vendor publishes the filtering rule and we are not claiming one does. A filter removes what does not match before a ranker orders what is left, which is what makes an unstated field an exclusion rather than a penalty. The field split is ours, and it is the one Antahe checks. See /agent-ready for every field.

And when the sale clears, it is bigger. Shopify’s own Q1 2026 merchant data puts AI-referred orders 14% higher in average order value than orders from organic search, growing nearly 13 times year over year. Adobe measured AI-referred traffic converting 42% better with 12% higher engagement. Salesforce credits AI and agents with $262 billion of the $1.29 trillion in global online sales over the 2025 holiday season, one dollar in five.

Shopify, Q1 2026 merchant commerce data, published 11 May 2026. Adobe Analytics, March 2026 reporting period: the same measure has ranged from minus 9% to plus 60% across their previous twelve months, so read it as one period rather than as a constant. Salesforce, 2025 holiday shopping data, 1 November to 31 December 2025, global online sales.
GOOGLE MERCHANT CENTER

A score tells you that you lost.

Google is rolling out a report in Merchant Center that scores how visible your products are in its AI results. India is one of the first five countries. It shows you the score. It will not tell you why you are losing, it will not fix anything, and it will not show you ChatGPT or Perplexity. That part is our job.

What Google’s report gives youWhat it does not tell youWhat we do instead
How often you show up in Google’s AI results, next to brands like yoursWhich questions you lost, and who won themThe questions your buyers actually ask, put to five AI assistants, every answer kept word for word
Where in the buying journey you are losing peopleWhich product dropped out, and at which stepOne plain reason for every product that did not show up, with the evidence attached
The words buyers use, and how often you appear for themWhether your own listings use those words at allYour titles and descriptions read against those words, so an item written in adjectives gets named
A completeness score for your product dataWhich missing field removes an item, and which only costs it positionAll 15 fields on every item, split into the 7 that remove you and the 8 that cost you position

You do not need a connection to start

Upload a CSV or TSV export and we read the header row, so your column names do not have to match ours. With no export at all we read the product pages you already publish, exactly as an assistant would.

Your own site gets checked too

We check whether your site tells an AI shopping agent how to buy from you. Where there is nothing there, the report says we found nothing rather than showing you a pass.

Two sources that disagree is a finding

Where your feed and your product page state different prices or different stock, we report the disagreement and the two figures. We are not judging the price. A sale goes at the step where your own sources contradict each other.

Merchant Center AI Performance Insights, Google Merchant Center Help, read 24 August 2026. Rolling out to merchants in the United States, Canada, Australia, India and New Zealand. We do not read inside your Merchant Center account and we are not claiming to. Everything in the right-hand column runs on your own product data and your own pages. The field split and the nine product reasons are ours, not Google’s.
We report what we checked as well as what we found, so an item we could not read is listed as unchecked and never as clean.

Four layers. Each answers one question.

They stack. You cannot explain what you never measured, and you cannot fix a problem nobody has named. The bottom two are where the money is, and they get the room here to match.

The marked band is the one this page has to be believed on.

Presence

Are you in the answer at all?

We put the questions your buyers actually ask to five AI assistants, on a schedule. Five wordings of each question, each asked once, so one lucky answer never carries a number.

  • Every answer kept, word for word

Belief

What does it say about you?

What an assistant states about you, the one word it has attached to your name, and which of your buyers hears which version. Every answer is kept, so you can argue with a claim.

  • The one word AI has attached to your name
  • Which of your buyers hears which version
  • Every claim traced back to the answer it came from

Commerce

Can AI shopping buy from you?

We read your product data and check every item against the fields AI shopping filters on. A field that fewer than 90% of your items carry counts as missing, because AI shopping does not stop and ask. Where your product data is clean and you still were not picked, we say so, which is the finding a tool that only reports faults can never make.

  • Your product data checked field by field, item by item
  • The one field that removed an item, named
  • Fixes shipped to your site and your product data, with your approval

  • Catalogue upload, CSV or TSV
  • Product page reader, no connection needed
  • Per item field completeness
  • Price and stock mismatch

Facts

Can every AI get your facts right?

One master copy of the facts about you: what you sell, what it costs, what you claim. When an assistant repeats something you stopped publishing months ago, we catch it against that copy and show you the answer it came from. Correct a fact once and every later check reads the corrected one.

  • One master copy of your facts, in one place your team edits
  • An assistant repeating something out of date gets caught against it
  • A claim with no fact on file is skipped, never guessed at
  • Serving those facts to an AI on request specified, not built
Under the hood
  • Canonical fact store
  • Hallucination watch
  • Stale fact diagnosis

What you actually log into.

Two screens, from the two halves of the product. The product data one is first, because it is the one that decides whether AI shopping can buy from you.

The Antahe catalogue readiness card, marked Sample data. It reads: an agent filtering on shipping, returnPolicy cannot include your items, because those fields are missing or incomplete. That is exclusion before ranking, not a lower position. Below it, a readiness score of 49 out of 100 scored against 1,240 items, then a table of fifteen fields with the coverage of each, seven of them tagged filter, running from price at 100 percent down to faq at 4 percent.
Sample data, and the card says so. No customer has a connected catalogue yet, so the items behind this are invented. The screen, the wording and the field list are the shipped ones, and the verdict, the coverage statuses and the score are computed by the same function that reads a real merchant’s feed. Two fields sit under the 90% threshold, so the score is capped at 49 however green the rest of the column is.
The Antahe overview screen for a real customer, whose name is withheld and shown as This customer. A score of 33 out of 100 under the verdict Low AI visibility, six sub-scores running from Presence at 1 to Claim health at 100, and five figures below them: 1 percent of answers, 58 percent for a rival, 7 of 13 answers describing them, 0 unreadable pages, and a 921 millisecond server response.
A real customer, 16 August 2026, from 1,850 answers to 370 questions across Perplexity, Gemini, ChatGPT, Copilot and Google AI Mode. Two names are withheld, theirs and a rival's, and each is replaced in the page by the plain description you can read. Every number, interval, bar and sentence is as it rendered, cropped at the top and bottom and nowhere else. Share of voice reads 0 because 0 is what they scored.

Nine screens open off it, built around one table. Every number links to the answers behind it, every finding becomes a job of work carrying the date we re-checked it, and a number we could not measure says so rather than showing a zero.

What AI believes your products can do

When a buyer names a constraint, whether your catalogue could answer it and whether you were picked

Product data

Every item against every field AI shopping filters on, and which field is getting items removed

The evidence a crawler could read

Your page exactly as an AI crawler received it, step by step, and which of the five gates between it and your words is closed

Plan

Every finding as work, with who it needs, roughly how long, and the arithmetic behind that

Studio

The rebuilt page beside your original, with a line per edit naming the rule that required it

Proof

Three readings taken independently, and what they do not establish

Where you stand

What each assistant says, who is recommended instead, and what every audience hears

The belief, in their own words

Every question we asked and every reply word for word, and every assertion an assistant made about you

Questions

The set we propose, before we spend a rupee collecting it

Agencies get a workspace switcher and cross-workspace rollups on day one.
ONE MISSING ANSWER, CARRIED ALL THE WAY

How a missing answer gets diagnosed.

A merchant, five steps, no gaps. This is the row marked at the top of the page, followed from the question to the re-read. The brand is invented so every step can be shown, including the ones a real client would not want published.

what it saidwhat it readthen the same questions again, and the interval is reportedJOINprompt side plus fetch sideCAUSEone of twentyFIXshipped or specifiedRE-READwith an interval
  1. 01

    Someone asks one question.

    Not a keyword. A sentence, with a budget and a delivery window buried in it.

  2. 02

    The model turns it into about ten searches.

    One after another, each built on the last, and no analytics product shows you any of them, Google's own included. We work out what those searches were and check whether your pages could have answered them. For a product the last one is not a question at all: it is a filter on price, stock and delivery, run against your product data. One decides whether you get named. The other decides whether you can be bought. We check both, because a buyer meets them as one thing.

  3. 03

    We read your product data and your product page.

    The page is fetched with no JavaScript, because that is what an AI bot runs. Zero execution was detected across more than 500 million GPTBot fetches. Then the two are compared, field by field, so a price stated in one and not the other is a finding.

    Lantern, 2026, more than 500 million GPTBot fetches

  4. 04

    We put the two together and name one reason.

    Asking the question tells you that you lost. Put that beside what the AI bot and your product data actually held, and you get one plain reason from a fixed list of twenty: nine about your products, eleven about what AI says.

  5. 05

    We ship what is ours, then re-read.

    The same questions under the same conditions. If the change sits inside the interval we say so rather than claiming a win.

What won instead

A rival whose feed carries a delivery window on every item, so all of theirs survived the filter and 412 of yours did not.

The remediation

Populate the delivery field for the 412, publish it as offer markup on the product pages too, then re-read the same prompts under the same conditions.

An illustrative bundle for a fictional merchant. The shape is real and the figures stand in for whatever yours turn out to be. A field that fewer than 90% of your items carry counts as missing, because AI shopping does not stop and ask. We ask each question five ways on five assistants, each asked once. We will not report a figure built on fewer than 10 answers, and we will not call a change below 30 answers a side. Every figure carries a range.
THE RE-READthe field is filled in now (FEED_INCOMPLETE, shipped)
Before

Left out of 9 of 12 shopping questions. The delivery field was blank on a third of the products, so those items were never even considered.

What shipped

One supplemental feed field. Forty minutes of a merchandiser's morning.

After

Shown in 7 of 12, re-read over 90 days at 25 answers per question per read: five wordings across five assistants, each asked once. A range is reported on every figure.

And the part nobody prints

One prompt went the other way. It is in the report, next to the gains.

Illustrative, for the same invented merchant. We have not published a customer result yet and will not invent one. What is real here is the method: 30 answers a side before we will call a change, a range on every figure, and the results that went the wrong way printed beside the ones that went right.
An audit returns one of these for every prompt where you are absent or weak.

Twenty plain reasons. Not a score.

Eleven explain why AI answers leave you out. Nine explain why your products get skipped in AI shopping results, and six of those nine are fixed by correcting product data you already publish, which makes them the fastest money in the set.

Every time you are missing, you get exactly one of these, with the evidence attached. Each one is worked out from things we already hold, so you can check the reasoning yourself.

YOUR PRODUCTS

Nine reasons. Why your products get skipped.

The fastest way back to a sale. Of these nine, six come from comparing two things you already publish, so they cost nothing to find and very little to fix.

Your products got skipped in AI shopping

The fix is usually one field in your feed, which makes these the cheapest findings in the set and the fastest way back to a sale.

The product is in no list AI shopping can read

NOT_IN_FEED

You sell it and it is in no list an assistant can read, so it cannot be picked at all.

A field an AI shopper filters on is blank

FEED_INCOMPLETE

It is listed, with a field the assistant filters on left blank. Blank means removed, not ranked lower.

Your feed and your page state different prices

PRICE_MISMATCH

We are not judging the price, only reporting that your own two sources disagree.

Your page shows the shopper one price and the machine another

PRICE_SCHEMA_MISMATCH

An assistant quotes the machine-readable one and your buyer reads the page, so the sale goes at the step where they disagree.

Your feed and your page disagree about what is in stock

STOCK_STALE

You are either sending buyers to a dead end or hiding something you could sell today.

The link in your feed does not reach a working page

LINK_BROKEN

A product an assistant cannot open is a product it cannot buy.

Your listing is written in adjectives

GENERIC_ATTRIBUTES

A shopper who names a finish, a size or a material has nothing of yours to match against.

You never use the words your buyers use

SEMANTIC_MISMATCH

It clears every filter and is described in words nobody searches with.

Nothing of yours was wrong. Something else got picked

OUTRANKED

Every field is there. Nothing in your product data is blocking this one.

WHAT AI SAYS

Eleven reasons. Why the answer leaves you out.

They never reached you

The fix is plumbing, and it is usually the fastest one we ship.

AI bots are blocked at your door

ACCESS_BLOCKED

No AI bot got in. We watched for them and saw none, and our own fetch was refused or handed a challenge page.

Your page is unreadable to AI bots

RENDER_INVISIBLE

An AI bot reads far fewer words than a person sees. The page renders for people, not for machines.

AI bots get a different page than people do

CONTENT_MISMATCH

Same address, same amount of text, different words. What the bot was served is not the page a person reads.

You are missing from an index several assistants read

NOT_INDEXED_BING

Several assistants look you up in an index you are not in.

They reached you and you lost

The fix is the words on the page, and we score the rewrite before you publish it.

No page of yours answers what the buyer asked for

CONSTRAINT_FAIL

The answer names something specific. No page of yours satisfies it. A rival's does.

You never wrote the page for that question

ONSITE_ABSENT

The question has an obvious page behind it and you have not written that page.

You are dropped at the final reliability check

WAVE3_ELIMINATED

One question becomes several searches, one after another. You survive the round that compares options and get dropped when it checks who is reliable.

Nobody else is writing about you

The fix is not on your own site, so you get a ranked list rather than work we ship.

Not one of the sources it read mentions you

OFFSITE_ABSENT

It read a set of pages to build the answer. You are on none of them.

It has you confused with another company

ENTITY_CONFUSED

The mentions it found belong to a different company with a similar name.

With search switched off, it does not know who you are

PARAMETRIC_GAP

Ask the model with no web access and your brand is not in what it learned.

It repeats something you stopped publishing

STALE_FACT

A claim it makes about you contradicts what is on your site today.

The first group is more common than anyone expects. Roughly 41% of B2B sites still block at least one major AI bot.

Observed across first audits, and mostly settings left over from 2023. All twenty reasons are worked out from evidence we hold rather than asked of a model, because being able to check them is the point.
TRY IT BEFORE YOU TALK TO US

Four of these run right now, free.

You fix what the audit found, then someone ships a page and breaks three of them again. These four run with no account, and the first one runs here, in this page.

Will AI read this page?

Paste a draft or a link. We read it the way an AI does and tell you what survives.

Can AI read your site?

Which AI bots your server turns away, which of your pages come back blank to one, and whether the Bing index has you.

Run it

Is your store ready for AI checkout?

All 15 fields an AI shopper looks for, checked against what you publish.

Run it

Which AI bots visit your site?

One line on your site, and you see which bots came, what they asked for and what they got.

WHAT THE DRAFT CHECK TELLS YOU

Does the answer come first

Your definition arrives in the fourth paragraph. An AI reads from the top and stops early.

Can each paragraph stand on its own

Three paragraphs open with “it” and lose their subject the moment one gets quoted alone.

Are there any actual facts in it

Two numbers in 900 words, both rounded. Quotations and figures were the strongest changes tested.

Can an AI bot read the page, if you paste a link

Whether it is let in, what it is served, and what it reads back.

Changing the structure alone improved how often a page got quoted by 17.3%. GEO-SFE, arXiv:2603.29979

WHAT NEEDS YOUR AUDIT

Scored against the questions your buyers really ask

Needs your question set. Today it scores against questions guessed from the draft itself.

Checked against your own facts

We cannot check a price nobody has given us.

Compared with the pages that beat you

Needs the sources your category actually gets quoted from.

Whether you cover what buyers ask for

Needs to know which segments and which places you sell to.

Nothing is held back. These four need data we do not have yet, and the audit is where it comes from. The checker says the same thing when you run it, in the same words.

No account, just a verified email. A paragraph can be marked unlikely to survive on its own, and the score stays labelled a rough guide until we publish how well it predicts.

Trackers ask what it said. We also ask what it read.

Asking the question tells you a competitor got recommended. Watching your own site tells you the model fetched their pricing page and never fetched yours. One is a symptom. Two is a diagnosis.

  • Against tools that only count mentions: they report the score. We report the reason, with the refused request attached.
  • Against tools that only rewrite content: content is one reason out of twenty. We work the other nineteen.
  • Against the SEO suites: they give AI a tab.
And rank is not the qualifier: 88% of AI Mode citations came from pages outside the organic top 10. Moz, 40,000 queries.

The limits, before you ask.

Every vendor in this category has these. We are telling you before you buy, which is the only part we control.

The engine's ranker

We can establish that every field an agent filters on is present and that something else was chosen anyway. Why it was chosen is inside a system nobody outside the platform reads, and we will not dress a guess up as a reason.

A catalogue you have not given us

We read the feed you upload, the metrics Merchant Center reports and the product pages you publish. An item that exists in none of those three is an item we cannot check, and we will report it as unchecked rather than as clean.

Real user queries

Nobody outside the platforms has them, ourselves included. Anyone selling you real prompt data is selling you invented questions with a confident label.

Retrieval without citation

If a model reads your page and does not cite it, that read is invisible to us and to everyone else.

Revenue attribution

Zero-click influence cannot be tied to a deal. Cross-session influence usually gets miscredited to branded search.

A guarantee that you get cited

The systems are probabilistic and nobody can honestly promise it. We publish our own prediction accuracy instead.

And this channel will not send you much traffic. Under 1% of visits for most sites, and it still decides who gets picked.

Under 1% of visits is what we see in the measurements available to us. We hold conditions constant for trends and vary them deliberately for diagnosis, and we publish what we cannot measure alongside what we can.

Run it on your own brand.

Every brand ends up with one word attached to it: cheapest, safest, outgrown, unproven. Find yours.
