The challenge

Presence tracking can't tell the difference

Two brands can both be mentioned in the same AI answer, and one walks away the recommended choice while the other is the cautionary footnote.

Mentioned ≠ recommended

Two brands appear in the same answer; one is the default choice and one is the warning. Presence tracking scores them identically.

You can't see the talked-out-of deals

Presence tells you that you appeared. It can't tell you whether the engine just talked the buyer out of choosing you.

Competitor tone is invisible

Knowing a rival is mentioned isn't the point. Whether AI describes them as the safer, smarter, or default choice is, and most tools never capture it.

Narratives harden before you notice

A negative framing builds quietly across answers and engines. Without a sentiment trend, you find out once it's the consensus.

The solution

What WriteWorks tracks

Brand mentions and brand sentiment, yours and every competitor's, captured per prompt, per engine, across regions, personas and social.

Every time an engine mentions you in a tracked prompt, WriteWorks reads the tone of that mention, positive, neutral, or negative, and records it alongside the citation and the answer text.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything teams typically ask before getting started.

How is sentiment different from share of voice?+
Share of voice tells you how often you're cited versus competitors. Sentiment tells you how you're described when you are cited, positive, neutral, or negative, and how that compares to the tone applied to your rivals in the same answer.
Do you track competitor sentiment too?+
Yes. The same tone analysis runs on every competitor mentioned in the same answer, so you can see whether AI engines describe a rival as the safer, smarter, or default choice, not just that they appear.
Which surfaces is sentiment captured on?+
All 10+ AI platforms, across your tracked regions and buyer personas. That lets you see, for example, that one engine praises you to enterprise buyers but undersells you to a different audience.
Can I act on a bad sentiment score?+
Yes. A negative or weak mention becomes a citation-gap opportunity: WriteWorks shows you the answer text driving the tone, then generates a brief to engineer content that reshapes how engines describe you. You measure the sentiment shift on the next run.
Is this a brand monitoring tool or a social listening tool?+
Both. WriteWorks is a brand monitoring tool that combines a social listening tool with AI sentiment analysis. It tracks brand mentions and brand visibility across social platforms and across 10+ AI platforms, then runs brand sentiment analysis on each one, so social media SEO and AI presence live in a single view.
How does sentiment analysis differ from a generic sentiment analysis tool?+
A generic sentiment analysis tool scores raw text in isolation. WriteWorks applies AI sentiment analysis in context, tying each brand sentiment score to the exact prompt, engine, region and persona, plus the answer text that produced it, and comparing it to competitor sentiment in the same answer.
Where do mention alerts and mention tracking live?+
Real-time brand mention tracking and alerts have their own home. See the mentions feature for continuous mention monitoring; this page focuses on the tone of those mentions and on social.
