AI is the new search engine. Are you showing up?
More than half of product searches now start with a question to an AI — not a Google query. Buyers ask ChatGPT what to use. Perplexity what's best. Gemini what others recommend.
AI doesn't crawl your homepage — it cites trusted community voices.
If your brand isn't in community discussions, it won't appear in AI answers.
Your competitors are getting cited because they're active where AI retrieves from.

The Intelligence Layer Behind Your AI Presence
Handshake monitors, builds, tracks, and amplifies — continuously shaping how AI engines perceive your brand.
Signal Monitoring
Handshake tracks what AI engines are being asked about your category — spotting the queries where your brand should appear but doesn't.
Community Seeding
Builds genuine brand presence in the high-authority threads and discussions that AI models retrieve from when forming answers.
Brand Tracking
Monitors when AI answers do — and don't — mention your brand, so you know exactly where to build more presence.
Content Amplification
Surfaces and amplifies your most-cited community content, reinforcing it across platforms so AI keeps finding it.
How it works
Monitor what AI is asked
Handshake tracks queries in your category across AI engines — finding the gaps where your brand should appear in answers but doesn't.
Find the conversations AI cites
AI doesn't invent answers — it retrieves from Reddit, Quora, HackerNews, and other high-authority community sources. We find the threads that matter.
Build genuine presence
Handshake posts authentic, helpful replies in those high-signal threads — from your real browser, with real accounts that build reputation over time.
Your brand gets cited
As your presence grows in the sources AI retrieves from, AI engines start mentioning your brand naturally — in answers, comparisons, and recommendations.
