How Does AmICited Auto-Detect Competitors?

You don’t have to guess who your AI-search competitors are — AmICited finds them for you. The Detected competitors list surfaces the brands that keep showing up alongside you in AI answers, ready for you to add to your charts.

Where to find it

Scroll down the Competitors page to Detected competitors, subtitled “Brands we found cited alongside you — add any to track them in your charts.” A badge shows how many are new (e.g. 9 new).

How auto-detection works

As AmICited runs your tracked prompts, it records every brand named in the answers. Brands that appear frequently alongside you — competing for the same citations — are surfaced here automatically. Each card shows:

• The brand and its icon.
• Its share of category answers.
• Its mentions count.
• A 30-day Δ trend.
• An + Add button to start tracking it.

How to use it

1. Review the list. Not every detected brand is a true competitor — some may be platforms or unrelated names that happen to co-occur.
2. Add the real ones. Click + Add on the brands you genuinely compete with; they move into Tracked competitors and appear in your Share-of-voice chart.
3. Re-check periodically. New detections appear as your prompt set and the AI landscape evolve — the new badge flags them.

Detection finds the candidates; adding them is how you choose which rivals to measure yourself against.
