The engines. The math. All public. 01 ### Unaided buyer prompts 50 prompts per vertical. Zero brand names inside the prompt itself. The kind of question a real buyer in India would type. Branded prompts corrupt share-of-voice math. 02 ### Three engines, every night ChatGPT (gpt-5-5), Gemini 3 Flash, Google AI Mode. Same prompts. India location. Run daily at 21:00 IST via DataForSEO's LLM scraper endpoints. 03 ### Three primary metrics Share of voice (% of prompts naming the brand). Source pool (cited domains, per engine). Sentiment (positive / neutral / cautious / negative). 04 ### Daily delta surfacing Every brand's day-over-day movement is computed. Movements over 2pp trigger an editorial review for the daily 'what changed' narrative. [Read the full methodology](/state-of-ai-india/methodology) Questions ## What people ask before they cite the index. How often does the data update?+ Every night at 21:00 IST. A daily scheduled job runs the full 50 prompts × 10 verticals × 3 engines on DataForSEO, parses the output, computes day-over-day deltas, writes the new day's editorial, and ships the page update. You can time-travel back to any past day via the date pills on each vertical page. Why these 10 verticals?+ Each is a category where (a) money has flowed in 2024-2026, (b) ChatGPT is actively answering shopping/decision queries today, (c) there's a clear category leader vs challenger structure that makes daily citation movement visible. Why no Perplexity or Claude?+ DataForSEO only offers programmatic scraping for ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Mode at this scale and price. When Perplexity / Claude scraper endpoints become available, we'll add them. Are the prompts public?+ Yes. The full prompt set for every vertical is published on the methodology page and downloadable as JSON. The brand-detection regex and sentiment classifier are open source. Can I get the index data for my brand?+ If your brand is one of the 80+ we track, your row data is public on the vertical page. If you want a deeper audit on a custom 50-prompt set for your category, that's a Cite Solutions service.
