See what people are
actually asking AI
Ranko scans ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini for the real questions people ask AI about your topics.
From silence to a live stream of real AI questions in 4 steps
Tell Ranko your topics. It scans ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini for the real questions asked.
Topic Setup
Tell Ranko the topics that matter
Pick the topics your brand cares about: product categories, competitor names, customer problems. Mark which are hot and which are evergreen. Ranko sets up continuous listening across all four AI assistants for each.
Four Engine Scan
Continuous scans across four engines
Ranko scans ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini for every topic. The engines ask differently: Perplexity research queries, ChatGPT follow ups, Claude nuanced asks, Gemini comparisons. Each is captured separately.
Real Phrasing Capture
Real phrasings, exactly as people ask them
Questions arrive exactly as people phrase them: every "how do I", every awkward turn, every edge case. No clean keyword versions, no synthetic rewrites. The team sees the real language its content must match to be cited.
Refresh Cadence
Daily for hot topics, weekly for the rest
Hot topics refresh daily so the team catches shifts as they happen: a competitor launch, a news event, a feature release. Evergreen topics refresh weekly. The team sees what changed since last refresh, keeping signal current.
Six reasons the answer engines stop being a black box
Once a team sees the real questions asked across all four AI assistants, in real phrasings at the right cadence, this changes first.
The real phrasing, not a guessed one
"SOC 2 vs ISO 27001 for early stage SaaS" differs from "SOC 2 vs ISO 27001". Ranko captures the full shape, so content matches how people ask.
Four engines watched, not just one
Treating AI assistants as interchangeable optimises for the wrong audience. Ranko watches each engine separately, so strategy adapts.
Always on, not occasional
Traditional question research is a snapshot you take once and forget. Continuous mining gives a living view: questions appearing, fading, shifting.
Hot topics refreshed daily
When a competitor launches or news hits, the questions people ask AI shift in hours. Daily refresh on hot topics catches it the same day.
Long tail captured at weekly cadence
Evergreen topics move slowly, drifting over months. Weekly refresh is the right cadence: fresh enough to catch shifts, calm enough to avoid noise.
Feeds every other Forge
Captured questions flow into Topic Planner for real demand, into Content Forge so articles answer them, into Analytics Forge to prove citations.

Everything you need to know
Common questions about how mining works, real phrasings, cadence, and new questions.
Ranko runs ongoing scans against ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini for every topic on your watchlist, capturing the questions real people ask through licensed signal sources, observed prompt patterns, and the patterns each engine exposes. The scans run continuously in the background, with no job to start. New questions arrive as they are mined, and existing ones update as the language shifts.
