Aiscovery tests whether AI agents can actually shop your store. Nearby tools answer different questions: AI visibility tools ask whether AI answers mention you, site audits ask whether a page is built well, and QA automation asks whether your own release works. Most teams need more than one of these, so each comparison below ends with when to use both.

## Four questions, four kinds of tool

- **AI visibility tools:** [Do AI answers mention and cite us?](https://aiscovery.io/compare/ai-visibility-tools) (Peec AI, Profound, Otterly.AI, Semrush)
- **Site audits:** [Is each page built well?](https://aiscovery.io/compare/lighthouse-seo-audits) (Lighthouse, PageSpeed Insights, SEO crawlers)
- **QA automation:** [Does our own release still work?](https://aiscovery.io/compare/browser-automation-qa) (Playwright, QA Wolf)
- **AI agent testing:** [Can AI agents actually shop our store?](https://aiscovery.io/product) (Aiscovery)

## How we write these pages

- **Their words, linked:** What we say about another product paraphrases its own public pages, linked under Sources with the date we read them.
- **No claims we can't source:** Where their site doesn't describe something, the table says Not their focus or Not listed, never that they lack it.
- **Our gaps, labelled:** Our features that don't run yet say Coming later, the same label we use on every page.

## Questions

**Q: Is Aiscovery an AI visibility tool?**

A: Not today. Aiscovery tests whether AI agents can use your store: a site check of public pages, then named AI agents trying key shopping tasks. Tracking how often AI answers mention and cite a store is coming later.

**Q: Does Aiscovery replace Lighthouse or our test suite?**

A: No. Lighthouse checks how a page is built and your test suite checks your own release. Aiscovery adds what neither shows: what outside AI agents experience when they try a shopping task on your live public store.

**Q: Something on a comparison page is out of date. What do we do?**

A: Tell us at support@aiscovery.io with a link to the vendor's current page. We review these pages against each vendor's public site and correct them.
