Hey HN! creator is here. AI Chat Watch is an open-source CLI tool that helps marketers to track and understand how AI chatbots talk about brands, products, industry.

It runs a set of questions across multiple AI models (currently ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity via OpenRouter) and generates reports showing: - Which entities are mentioned, how often and in which order - Trends of these mentions (comparing to previous dates) - Specific links and domains cited in responses by AIs

Originally built this as a commercial product for marketers doing competitive research, but decided to open source it so anyone can run it locally. You'll need to provide your own OpenRouter API key (~$0.30 per run for 5 questions × 3 models).

Some example use cases: - Competitive analysis (e.g., "best CRM software") - Keywords monitoring across AI responses - Exploring websites and specific pages cited by AI - SEO/visibility in AI-generated answers

Installation is straightforward via terminal. There are demo reports in the repo to see what the output looks like.

Would love feedback and suggestions on making it more valuable Thanks
