About AI See You
Approved company description
AI See You is an independent AI recommendation research company for travel. It continuously measures how leading AI systems recommend hotels, destinations and travel brands, and turns that behaviour into commercial intelligence.
AI See You measures recommendations, not mentions, and organises them by recommendation category rather than by prompt. It is an independent research company: every property in a destination is measured, whether or not it is a customer, and customers are not measured differently from non-customers.
What we measure
AI hotel recommendations
AI See You captures which properties ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews actually recommend to travellers, and distinguishes genuine recommendations from mentions, negative inclusions and contextual references.
Recommendation categories
Recommendations are organised by commercial traveller intent within a destination, such as luxury, family, business, budget, boutique, romantic or wellness, because intent is what changes a hotel’s competitive landscape.
Movement between periods
Movement compares comparable measurement cells and AI surfaces. Australia, New Zealand and Singapore have August-to-September common-panel comparisons; the UK currently provides a first-period baseline. Cruise, the next category, is in development and does not yet have a baseline.
Every recorded recommendation traces to its captured AI response. Our research records the sources AI platforms cite, where they supply them, by traveller intent, property and destination, preserving unclassified and unresolved states.

How AI See You operates
Each destination is measured on a monthly Pulse. A Pulse must pass certification before it refreshes our public city rankings, and certified Pulses feed our quarterly intelligence reports. Original evidence is retained and governed corrections are traceable. September readings use seven surfaces; month-to-month movement uses comparable measurement cells and the common surface panel.
