How do we collect data?

Last updated: March 4, 2026

Trendos runs prompts daily across five leading AI platforms: ChatGPT, DeepSeek, GAIO, Perplexity and Gemini. 

Because AI-generated responses can vary from day to day, Trendos analyze patterns over time rather than relying on a single response. This allows us to deliver more reliable insights and identify meaningful trends.

Here at Trendos we don’t use keywords, but rather real conversational prompts. For instance, instead of testing simple keywords like: “Music service”, we use full, natural-language questions such as: “What is the best music streaming service right now”?

This mirrors how real users interact with AI tools today — through conversational queries, not isolated keywords.

By using realistic prompts, we capture data that better reflects how brands actually appear in AI-generated recommendations.

How Our Data Collection Works

Unlike traditional analytics platforms that depend on APIs, Trendos uses advanced UI scraping technology to interact directly with AI web interfaces.

In other words, we engage with AI systems exactly the way a human user would — through their front-end experience.

This method provides several important advantages:

  1. Authentic User Experience

  2. Real-World Accuracy

  3. Broader Model Access

AI systems are dynamic - responses change, rankings shift and mentions fluctuate.

By testing conversational prompts daily through real interfaces, Trendos captures what users actually experience — giving you the most accurate picture of how your brand appears across AI platforms.
