How Telepathic Collects AI Visibility Data

Telepathic analyzes how brands appear in AI-generated answers by running conversational prompts across major AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity on a recurring basis. Because AI-generated responses can vary from day to day, Telepathic evaluates results over time to identify consistent patterns rather than relying on single outputs. The prompts used are written as natural language questions, similar to how users interact with AI tools in practice. For example:
“What’s the best CRM for marketing agencies under 50 people?”
This approach reflects real user behavior rather than keyword-based search queries.

​
Why Telepathic Uses Interface-Based Data Collection

Many analytics tools collect AI data through official APIs. While APIs are useful for certain use cases, they do not always reflect what users see when interacting with AI tools through their public interfaces. API-based interactions can differ from real user experiences in several ways:
  • Responses may vary from those shown in the chat interface
  • The sources cited can differ from those visible to users
  • Some models or behaviors may not be available through APIs
Because of these differences, API-only data may not accurately represent real-world AI visibility.

How Telepathic tracks AI search traffic

Telepathic enhances your existing Google Analytics setup to uncover AI-driven traffic that was previously invisible. Instead of relying on guesswork or mislabeled “direct” visits, we add a layer of intelligent detection that shows you exactly which AI platforms send users to your website. We identify traffic from platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, and others using advanced signal detection rather than keyword-based attribution. This mirrors how real users click through from AI answers, which often happens from agent responses, chat summaries, or AI-generated explanations instead of traditional search results. Traditional analytics tools cannot see this traffic because AI clicks often lack referral headers or blend in with normal search activity. Telepathic solves this through a combination of Google Tag Manager automation, text fragment detection, and platform-level fingerprinting. This gives you several advantages: Authentic visibility: We capture how users arrive from AI-generated answers across major models, including Google AI Overview, which has no native referral tracking. Real-world accuracy: We detect special URL markers, scroll-to-text fragments, and AI-specific click patterns that GA4 normally misses. Comprehensive coverage: We track more than 17 AI platforms, including models that do not expose referral data and platforms where traditional analytics offers no insight. By automatically configuring your Google Tag Manager and creating custom dimensions inside your GA4 property, Telepathic starts collecting accurate AI platform traffic the moment you connect your account. No code changes are needed, and your existing analytics setup stays intact while becoming significantly more powerful.
