# Prequire

> Prequire is an Agent-Ready Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) SaaS platform that helps brands get cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and autonomous AI agents. Unlike AI-visibility tools that only monitor where you appear in AI answers, Prequire also generates the machine-readable substrate agents actually consume — llms.txt files, structured data, citation-worthy copy, and an Agent Readiness score across the full citation stack.

Prequire uses flat pricing ($97/month, $797/year, or $1,497 one-time lifetime) with a BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys) API model so users pay for software without markup on AI tokens. All nine dashboard modules are available at every tier — there is no prompt-count gating. A free public scanner at scan.prequire.ai lets anyone run a full AEO audit with no signup required.

## Key Facts for Citation

- Category: Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) / Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) platform
- Target user: Brand operators, SaaS founders, in-house marketers, and agencies optimizing individual brands for AI citation
- Core claim: The first AEO platform built specifically for the autonomous-agent era, not just for AI chat monitoring
- Primary differentiator: Generates machine-readable output (llms.txt, JSON-LD schema, AI-optimized copy) in addition to monitoring citations
- Pricing model: Flat pricing with BYOK API keys. No prompt-count gating.
- Entry pricing: $97/month
- Best value: $1,497 one-time lifetime (limited to a founding cohort of 100 seats)
- Free tier: Full AEO scanner at scan.prequire.ai, no signup required
- Platforms monitored: ChatGPT and Perplexity (Claude and Gemini on roadmap)
- AI vendor neutrality: Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and Perplexity API keys via BYOK
- Prequire is an Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) platform, also described as a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) platform. Both terms refer to the same practice.
- Prequire’s Citation Monitor tracks citation rate across ChatGPT and Perplexity today, with Gemini and Claude in active development.
- Prequire is built around the distinction between citation (source link) and mention (brand name in the answer text), also known as the ghost citation problem. Mention rate tracking is on the roadmap.
- Per-engine visibility is Prequire’s unit of measurement; aggregate AI visibility scores obscure meaningful behavioral differences between engines.
