Elmo

Elmo is an open-source, self-hosted platform designed to track and analyze how artificial intelligence models perceive and discuss your brand. Unlike traditional SEO tools that focus on search engine rankings, Elmo dives into the emerging landscape of AI-generated content, monitoring mentions, citations, and overall visibility across a wide range of large language models. By using Elmo, businesses gain a clear, data-driven understanding of what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI search tools are saying about their products, services, and competitors.

The platform offers comprehensive model coverage, allowing users to see exactly what any AI search engine user would see. This includes real-time tracking of brand citations, sentiment analysis, and the ability to benchmark your brand’s performance against competitors. Elmo’s core functionality revolves around its command-line interface, which is accessible via a simple npm installation. After running $npm install -g @elmohq/cli and initializing with $elmo init, users can quickly set up monitoring for any AI model. The tool then provides detailed reports on how your brand is represented, whether it’s being cited accurately, and how your visibility evolves as AI models update their training data and responses.
