AnswerLens FAQ for new visitors and evaluators.

What people ask first

Common questions

What does AnswerLens audit?

AnswerLens audits whether a product site is easy for AI systems to read, cite, compare, and recommend. It writes a share summary, scorecard, and recommendations your team can review.

Does AnswerLens scrape consumer AI apps?

No. AnswerLens keeps the non-goal explicit: no consumer AI UI scraping and no ranking guarantees on answer surfaces.

Do I need provider API keys to try it?

Not for a basic audit run. Provider keys are only needed when you want eval-mode benchmarking on top of the core site audit.

How do I start in under five minutes?

Start with the live demo report, run the sample-site demo locally, then use the 5-minute real-site quickstart before adding the GitHub Action.

How does pricing work today?

The project is open source, the CLI and Pages docs are public, and optional eval costs stay in your own provider account.
