Truth over hype
AI is reshaping discovery. We measure what’s actually happening — no vanity metrics, no guesswork.
About Viali
We’re building the visibility layer for AI search.
Search is being rewritten by AI. We started Viali so every brand can see whether the models recommend them — and earn that recommendation with confidence.
Our story
From blue links to AI answers.
When buyers started asking ChatGPT and Perplexity instead of Googling, our founders — veterans of search and analytics — watched brands lose visibility they couldn’t even see. The old rank trackers had nothing to say about it.
So we built Viali: a platform that measures brand presence inside AI answers across every major engine, explains the sources behind them, and gives teams a concrete plan to win. Today, marketing teams and agencies use Viali to turn the AI black box into a scoreboard they can move.
