Selbstgebaute KI-Visibility-Tracking-Loesung fuer 19 Dollar statt teurer SEO-Tools
Kommerzielle Tools zur Ueberwachung von KI-Antworten wie Profound, Peec oder Otterly kosten ab 29 Dollar im Monat. Eine Alternative aus einer Python-Datei plus GitHub Actions liest per Selbsthosting aus, was Gemini auf Anfragen wie best X in 2026 antwortet.
I kept hearing "SEO is dead, AI tells your prospects what to buy" and kept wondering what Gemini actually says when someone in my niche asks "best X in 2026". Checking by hand on a Monday morning is annoying. The tools that automate this — Profound, Peec, Otterly — start at $29/month and go up to $500+.
I just wanted a number in my inbox. So I spent a weekend on the smallest possible version.
That's the entire product. I'm charging $19 one-time for the ZIP, MIT source. No SaaS, no subscription, no dashboard — the report lives in your repo artifacts for free week-over-week comparison.
Running the tool against Linear with Jira, Asana, ClickUp as competitors this week:
That's a 3-line signal I can glance at over coffee. If Linear fell from position 1 to position 6 next week, I'd know. Sample report is in the repo under samples/.
Those cost real money per API call. A $19 one-time product can't honestly bundle $0.01/call APIs — one big customer wipes out the margin. Google Gemini's free tier is generous enough (1,500 requests/day) that this tool runs on $0 forever.
Gemini also powers Google's AI Overviews — the thing that's killing organic clicks on billions of searches. So this is tracking what Google's AI says about you, which is probably the engine to track first anyway.
If you need the full 4-engine coverage, buy Otterly or Profound. If you want $19 lifetime and your money back if you don't like the first report, this is for you.
I'm pricing it at $19 one-time for the first 20 lifetime buyers (goes up to $29 after). To avoid me funding a Gumroad account cold before I know anyone wants this, the reservation lives as a GitHub issue — drop a one-line comment with your use case and I'll reply with the Gumroad link within 24h.
Happy to answer questions in the comments. If you've tried Profound or Otterly, I'd love to hear what you kept vs. ditched — my prompt-parser is still rough and the next release will handle more answer shapes.
