A citation tracking tool vs. an autonomous agent that grows purchase likelihood.
The Prompting Company — track and generate
The Prompting Company tracks which prompts mention your brand across AI assistants, generates AI-optimized articles (Pro: 8/month), and measures AI bot traffic to your site. It answers: "Are we getting cited? In which AI assistants? Is AI traffic growing?"
The platform does not run autonomously. Articles are generated for your team to review and publish. There is no purchase journey simulation, no 4P competitive intelligence, and no compounding memory between cycles.
Slingso — autonomous execution
Slingso’s agent runs the full loop: Monitor detects the gap → Analyse investigates why (4P competitor intelligence included) → Create drafts → Approve pauses for your sign-off. Your active time: 15–20 minutes per week reviewing what the agent produced. Approve, edit, or reject. Nothing goes live without your sign-off.
Slingso — intelligence, not just content
Slingso doesn’t just generate content. It reads and acts on signals that content tools ignore: PR activity, community engagement, customer review sentiment, pricing strategy, and promotion moves — all of which directly shift purchase_likelihood.
When a competitor runs a promotion that shifts AI purchase outcomes, Slingso detects it and suggests a counter-action. When review sentiment moves, the agent updates its brief to address the objection. Business intelligence acting on your behalf.
Slingso — compounding memory
Rule-based systems run the same logic each cycle. They don’t learn that “framing our product as the affordable alternative increased purchase likelihood 3×” and apply that pattern going forward.
Slingso’s agent accumulates per-brand memory with every run. At month 6 it knows which framing works, which competitor 4P moves hurt your AI channel, and which content is being cited. The agent at month 6 is materially smarter than month 1.

Common questions
What is The Prompting Company? +
The Prompting Company is a YC S25 startup ($6.5M seed from Peak XV, Base10, YC) that helps brands get cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. It is a self-serve SaaS platform — not a managed service. Basic plan: $99/month (25 prompts, ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini, 1 seat). Pro plan: $299/month (100 prompts, 8 AI-optimized articles/month, email + Slack support). Enterprise: custom limits, all models including DeepSeek and Claude. Known clients: Rippling, Rho, Motion, Vapi, Gamma.
Is The Prompting Company a tool or a managed service? +
The Prompting Company is a self-serve SaaS platform — you sign up and operate it yourself. It tracks your prompts, generates AI-optimized articles for you to review and publish, and measures your AI bot traffic. Slingso is also self-serve, but goes further: it is an autonomous agent platform. The agent runs the monitor → analyse → create → approve → measure loop autonomously, pausing only when content needs your sign-off before publishing.
What is purchase_likelihood and how does it differ from citation frequency? +
Getting cited in ChatGPT is a visibility outcome. Purchase likelihood is Slingso's leading metric: how likely your specific product is to be the one recommended to a shopper in an active purchase journey. Brands can appear frequently in AI responses while rarely being the chosen purchase recommendation. Slingso targets purchase_likelihood because it connects to attributable revenue.
What is 4P competitive intelligence? +
Slingso's Monitor loop runs Product, Price, Promotion, and Place intelligence for every competitor SKU every cycle. A competitor's price drop or promotion shifts AI purchase recommendations. Slingso detects and acts on these 4P moves every run. The Prompting Company tracks prompt citations and generates content; it does not run ongoing 4P competitive intelligence per SKU.
How does Slingso's compounding memory work? +
Slingso's MemoryManager builds a persistent per-brand knowledge layer after every run: which content framing drives purchase likelihood, which competitor 4P moves hurt your AI channel, which content is cited. The agent at month 6 is materially smarter than at month 1. The Prompting Company's platform does not maintain a compounding memory layer between cycles — each cycle runs independently.
I am a SaaS brand, not e-commerce. Is Slingso relevant to me? +
Slingso is purpose-built for e-commerce and DTC brands — the SKU-level product tracking, purchase journey simulation, and purchase_likelihood metric are all e-commerce constructs. For SaaS and B2B brands, The Prompting Company's focus on citation acquisition in AI responses is a better fit. Slingso will serve SaaS brands in the future, but e-commerce is the current focus.
