The AGS (AI Grading System) is an open method for scoring how visible a brand is in the answers of generative AI. For each answer, a panel of several judge models assesses presence, influence and quality, which are aggregated into a single score bounded from 0 to 100.

What is the AGS?

The AGS (AI Grading System) is the scoring system that measures a brand's visibility in the answers of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and other AI tools. Rather than an opaque grade, it is an open method: it can be understood, verified and challenged. The full method is published on our AGS Methodology page.

The three dimensions

Every AI answer is scored across three composite dimensions, combined using a geometric mean:

  • P — Presence: is the brand cited, in what position, and to what extent? (see mention rate)
  • I — Influence: is what is said informative, unique and relevant?
  • Q — Quality: is the answer accurate and pitched at the right sentiment?

Why a panel of several AI models?

The AGS relies on an AI panel drawn from different providers to stop any single model from favouring itself. The score comes with a confidence interval and an inter-rater reliability coefficient, so that its uncertainty is shown rather than hidden. The acknowledged limits of the measurement are documented too.

Only 16% of brands appear when their customers ask AIs. Does yours?

Every question asked to ChatGPT without your name in the answer is a competitor recommended instead of you — measured across 6,820 real AI answers.
