We took the top 3 Product Hunt launches and asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude the exact questions their buyers ask: “Best browser for Claude Code?” “How do I track agent run costs?” “Best open-source Grok alternative?” Nine answers. Zero mentions. AI sent their buyers elsewhere. That’s how AI search works. It pulls from pages it trusts—listicles, Reddit, comparisons, YouTube. If you’re not there, you’re not in the answer. MentionBird helps you fix that.
Hey Product Hunt, I'm Salil, maker of MentionBird.
I spent a decade helping brands get found on Google. Then buyers started asking ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity "what's the best X for Y" instead, and most brands had no idea what AI was saying about them. When they checked, the answer usually stung: years of Google rankings, and still not named.
AI answers aren't built from your rankings. They're built from the sources AI trusts: review sites, listicles, forums, publications. If you're not in those, you're not in the answer.
MentionBird makes that visible and fixable: - Enter your company and URL, and it finds the buying questions that matter in your category - It tracks daily which brands ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude name in their answers, and which sources those answers are built on - The Answer Agent turns that into a ranked action plan: which sources to get into, what to publish or fix, ordered by impact and effort
Recently shipped: a rebuilt Answer Agent and a new YouTube Answer Agent.
For the Product Hunt community: your first 3 months of Starter is $19 with code PH19.
I'd love to hear from you: which AI answer in your category would you most want to win?

Who hunted MentionBird?
MentionBird was hunted by Kevin William David. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
