Answermend / free tools
Free tools for seeing what AI engines can and can’t read on your site
This shelf exists so you can find out what’s broken before you pay anyone — including us. Every tool shows its result on screen, states what it can see and what it can’t, and is honest about the difference between the two.
Nothing here guarantees an AI mention. No tool from anyone does. What these fix are the inputs the engines actually read: your markup, your crawler rules, whether your pages render without JavaScript.
Each tool carries a status chip. The chip says where it runs — and unshipped tools say so plainly.
The shelf
4 tools running · 4 pages live with the check still in build
AI Visibility Checker
Whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini name you for your category’s buyer prompts — and which competitor they name instead. Averaged over repeated runs.
in build
FAQ Schema Generator
Valid FAQPage JSON-LD — built for answer engines, not the rich snippets Google retired.
free · runs in your browser
AI Crawler Checker
Is your robots.txt blocking GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot or PerplexityBot? Will read your live file when the check ships.
free · no signup
llms.txt Generator
Build one in the browser — with the caveat that matters: no engine has confirmed it reads llms.txt. The validator tab fetches a live file, so that half runs on our server.
free · runs in your browser
AI Readiness Score
Crawler access, schema, render and structure — every technical input checked in one pass.
free · no signup
robots.txt Generator
Per-bot presets for the AI crawlers — allow or block each one deliberately, not by accident.
free · runs in your browser
Render Check
Can an AI crawler read your page without running JavaScript? See what’s left when the scripts don’t run.
free · no signup
Organization Schema Generator
Tell every parser exactly who you are — Organization JSON-LD, with the identity fields filled in properly.
free · runs in your browser
What the chips mean
Some of these run in your browser. Some run on our server. That’s a real difference.
A generator only turns the choices you make into text — it never needs to look at your website, so all of it happens inside your own browser tab and nothing you type is sent anywhere. A checker has to fetch a URL we don’t control, and a browser is not allowed to do that on your behalf, so the request goes out from our server instead.
That means a checker briefly handles the address you gave it, and a generator handles nothing at all. We label each tool with which kind it is rather than putting a blanket privacy claim across the shelf — because for some of these tools that claim would be false, and a privacy promise you can’t verify is worth nothing. One tool is both: the llms.txt page generates in your browser and validates on our server, and it says so on each tab.
- free · runs in your browser Nothing is fetched and nothing is uploaded. What you type stays in the tab — open your network panel and check.
- free · no signup Free and ungated, but it runs on our server because it fetches a URL we don’t control. We don’t claim in-browser privacy for these.
- in build Not shipped. The card has no link, because a tool that isn’t live shouldn’t have one.
The guides behind the tools
What is GEO?
The definitions, before the tactics — what generative engine optimisation actually covers, and what it borrows from SEO.
AI visibility metrics
The six things that can honestly be measured — including the mentioned-versus-cited split most dashboards merge into one number.
Track brand mentions in AI
How to watch whether the engines name your brand, and why a single check never tells you anything.
Start with whichever one names your problem.
Four of these run right now, in your browser, with no signup and no email wall. The other four have their page live but the check itself is still in build — those pages say so, and show an example rather than a result. The one still marked in build lands when it is finished, and not before.
