How often does OtterlyAI check AI search engines?

Short answer: every day. OtterlyAI monitors your brand visibility across all major AI search engines on a daily basis.

Which engines are checked — and how often?

Each day, OtterlyAI automatically runs your tracked prompts across every engine and analyzes the results; checking whether your brand, products, or competitors are mentioned, how you're described, and where you rank.

Note: OtterlyAI originally launched with weekly monitoring. We upgraded to daily monitoring to give you sharper, more actionable brand visibility data.

Why does daily monitoring matter?

AI search engine responses shift constantly driven by new content on the web, algorithm updates, and changes in how they rank sources.

But there's another reason daily monitoring matters: statistical significance. AI search responses aren't deterministic; the same prompt can return different results on different runs. To truly understand where your brand and competitors reside in the market, you need enough data points to see the signal through the noise. Daily checks build that sample size over time, giving you results you can actually trust and act on.

Daily checks mean you always know:

• When your brand appears (or disappears) in AI-generated answers
• How your brand is described — and when that description changes
• What your competitors are doing — and when they gain or lose visibility

Frequently asked questions

When exactly are prompts checked each day? There's no fixed time, prompts run daily, but not at the same hour each day. You'll see fresh results in your dashboard once the daily run completes.

Can I manually trigger a prompt run? Not at the moment. Monitoring runs automatically on a daily cycle.

Can I increase or decrease the monitoring frequency? No, all prompts run on the same daily cadence. You can't speed it up or slow it down.
