AI Brand Monitoring for Chatbot Mentions: Otterly, Peec AI, Profound Alerts
Clients ask for chatbot mention alerts. Otterly lags. Peec and Profound are dashboards. We run Promptwatch daily and we will not sell instant alerts.
AI brand monitoring for chatbot mentions with Otterly, Peec AI, and Profound "alerts" is the request that means "text me when ChatGPT names us." We will not sell that. This category is a dashboard you check. Otterly can be seven days late, which is the opposite of an alert. Peec is daily with screenshots. Profound Starter is ChatGPT only. None of those three is a pager we can source.
We still read Google's AI features page for Overviews. It does not store ChatGPT or Perplexity answers.
The mention log we run is Promptwatch. Daily UI checks. Prompt trends. Slack exists as an integration. The API exists on paid plans. That is not an instant-alert product. We will say so in the SOW. Essential is $95/mo. Explore is free, ChatGPT only.
Brand-safety panic is still a person reading the row. Launch weeks get a daily look. Ordinary retainers get a standing weekday. If a vendor says "instant alerts" without a channel and a delay, we treat it as marketing. We have been burned by that phrase in RFPs.
What we put in writing
A useful program stores yesterday's answer on a frozen prompt. Named versus cited URL. A calendar the AM will keep. No "instant alerts" line unless a vendor has demoed delay on a named channel in front of us.
We keep Meltwater for public posts. We do not merge those counts with assistant mentions. Different delay, different object. A spike on Twitter is not a ChatGPT mention.
Unified Actions is a to-do list, not a siren. Crawler logs and visitor analytics sit on the same Promptwatch project when the SOW includes them. Professional is $245/mo. Kick-off is $199/mo when we hold more than one brand.
Otterly Lite is $29, 15 prompts, lag. Fine as the client's own experiment. Poor as our weekly. Peec at $95 is the fastest of the three named dashboards. Still a dashboard. Profound depends on tier. Starter cannot even see Perplexity.
Slack without lying
Can we build Slack pings on the API? Maybe. That is a workflow we would scope. It is not a native Promptwatch alert SKU. We will not write "instant alerts" into a proposal to win the room.
If they already paid for Otterly, Peec, or Profound, those stay as extra screens. We do not mix Otterly's lag with a daily chart. We report Promptwatch as the log.
