Which AI engines Attensira reads, and how
Attensira reads the AI engines your buyers use: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI on Starter, plus Gemini on Growth and up. Each engine keeps one stable name when its vendor swaps the model, so history never splits. An engine that is off or cannot be read shows as not measured, never 0%. Copilot and DeepSeek are coming.

Two engines are switched on in our own workspace, so Claude and Google AI show as not tracked, not as 0%. Switching one on is a setting, and its history starts that day.

How are the engines read?
An engine is the surface a buyer uses, not a model version. Attensira records how each was read and never presents one kind of reading as another.
Start on the default set
A new workspace reads ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI. Gemini is switched on by hand on Growth and up. Switching it on in Starter changes the setting, not the readings.
Read once a day, per engine
Each prompt, engine and country is read at most once a day, one answer per reading on Starter and three on Growth and up. A failed read lowers n, never your rate.
Consumer or API, said plainly
ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini can be read as the consumer product and over the API. Claude is read over its API. Google AI has no API reader, so its data comes from consumer reading only.
Choose wide or deep
Every engine you add multiplies the readings your plan's responses must cover. Read four or five engines over fewer prompts to find where buyers are, or two engines over many prompts once you know.
Do two engines treat the same brand the same way?
No. ChatGPT links our pages more often than it names us; Perplexity names us a little more often than it links us. Each engine keeps its own rates, side by side, never averaged.

Analyst · Kept each engine apartattensira.com workspace, read over the Attensira MCP on 4 Oct 2026 · 24 of 31 days sampled · to What do tracked, readable and zero mean?
Every per-engine number carries flags. Reading them wrong is the most common way to misreport a result.
| Not tracked | The engine is not switched on in this workspace. No question was asked, so there is no answer and no zero. |
|---|---|
| Not readable | No reader exists for that surface, such as Google AI over the API. No setting turns it on. |
| Not measured | Tracked, but no successful answer came back in the window. |
| 0% with n = 12 | Asked twelve times and never named you. A real, measured zero. |
| A model is not a crawler | An engine answers a prompt; a crawler fetches your pages. A high crawl rate does not produce mentions. Crawlers are reported separately, in crawler logs. |
| Stable names | chatgpt, perplexity, claude, gemini and google_ai keep their id when a vendor swaps the model underneath, so your history never splits. |
What does Attensira not read?
The engines read are defined in the product, not by the list of assistants that exist. Anything else is named only as not read.
- Copilot and DeepSeek are not read yet, so no number is ever shown for them.
- A newly added engine does not backfill. Its history starts on the day you switch it on.
- Turning an engine off leaves a gap in its series, shown as not tracked, not as zero.
- Google AI data is thinner and less regular than the API-backed engines. Say so in any report built on it.
What does one engine say about tracking another?
Perplexity on 2 Oct, asked for a “ChatGPT rank tracker”: mentions, citations and visibility, not a search ranking. Each engine is read on its own, so this answer counts for Perplexity and never for ChatGPT.
Question: ChatGPT rank tracker
Perplexity answered: ChatGPT rank tracking tools measure how often and where your brand appears in AI-generated responses, tracking mentions, citations, and visibility rather than traditional search rankings.
