| Coverage | Share of prompts and AI models where you appear | How broad your presence is across topics and assistants | Rising across most models and markets |
| AI Score | How prominently you're placed when mentioned | Position quality. First recommendation vs. end of the list | Average rank 1.0–4.0 when mentioned |
| AI Citations | Which websites AI models cite next to your brand | The sources shaping what AI says about you | Your own and trusted third-party pages cited |

Prompt types and what they reveal
AI brand monitoring is only meaningful when you know which kind of question produced the answer. Pranas separates prompts by type and reports each type independently.
| Prompt type | Names your brand? | What it reveals | Metric to watch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unaided | No | Whether AI answers recommend you unprompted | Coverage |
| Aided | Yes | How accurately the model describes you when asked | Sentiment and accuracy |
| Comparison | Yes, alongside a competitor | Head-to-head positioning | Avg Rank |
| Attribute | Sometimes | Which qualities AI associates with you | Mention Rate |
| Use case | No | Which scenarios you are recommended for | Coverage by topic |
The dashboard defaults to unaided prompts because they reflect organic discovery rather than prompted recall.
What a good monitoring set includes
- A majority of unaided prompts covering your core category.
- Aided prompts to catch factual errors about your brand.
- One comparison prompt per priority competitor.
- Attribute prompts for the qualities you want to be known for.
Keeping results comparable over time
- Save the prompt set and model mix as a scan template.
- Run on a fixed cadence so every point on the trend is like-for-like.
- Scope by country instead of blending markets.
- Investigate Coverage drops before reacting to AI Score movement.
