The mapou workspace
AI shoppers,
working for
your brand
mapou runs a panel of AI shoppers. Every day they ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Grok what to buy, the way your customers do. We record which brands get recommended, why, and from which sources, so you know where you win, where you are invisible, and where to spend.
Free during early access. Sign in with Google or Microsoft.

Which competitor is winning questions we should own?
Brightwell. It is named in 58% of answers to your buying questions, against 41% for you, and it leads on 7 of 12 awareness questions. Most of its lift comes from Reddit threads and review videos, where Aveline barely appears. Two fixes are waiting in your inbox.

How the panel works
Each AI shopper is an agent with a buying question and a profile. It asks, reads the answer and records what it found. Hundreds of them, on a fixed schedule, add up to numbers you can trust.
- 1ShoppersAgents with a profile: budget, premium, first-time, values-driven. They ask the way real customers talk.
- 2Buying questionsA fixed set written for your category and brand, from “what is the best” to “is it worth it”.
- 3Four assistantsChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Grok, with live web search on, so answers match what shoppers see.
- 4Answers scoredEvery answer is read for who was recommended, who was only mentioned, who was missing, and which sources it used.
- 5Your workspaceYour share against competitors, why it moved, what to fix and where to spend. Ask mapou anything about it.
The same method runs the public mapou Panel and the deep studies. See the full method.
