Canonical, always-current: https://stack.adamgtm.com/aeo* ## The Solution & Approach Bluefish AI (legal entity Bluefish Labs) is a New York enterprise AI marketing platform built to manage brand visibility, influence, and verification across AI channels like ChatGPT, Google AI, Claude, Perplexity, and Amazon Rufus. As of its April 2026 Series B it reported usage by roughly 10% of the Fortune 500 across 12+ verticals. Its angle separates from data-depth peers like Profound on protection. The differentiator it has shipped is verification: the May 2026 AI Accuracy product extracts and checks every factual claim AI channels make about a brand, traces each mismatch to the exact channel and response, and scores it by severity. A companion capability, Brand Vault, ingests a brand's first-party content into a continuously updated source of truth shareable with LLMs. The category POV is that citation frequency overstates true influence. Its November 2025 AI Impact and Influence Analytics added an Impact Score and an Influence Rank to move measurement past raw citation counts toward an authority score. ## Best for Enterprise and Fortune 500 brands that care most about controlling accuracy and authority in AI answers, not just tracking citation counts. ## Pricing & trial Sales-led; no public pricing page and no listed free trial. ## Agent Experience How you build on this platform (or wire it into your own agents): | Surface | Available | Docs | |---|---|---| | API | No | — | | MCP | No | — | | SDK | No | — | | CLI | No | — | | llms.txt | No | — | Sales-led with no public docs, API, MCP, SDK, CLI, or llms.txt, so there is effectively no surface to build on as an agent platform. ## Reference customers Adidas, American Express, Hearst, LVMH, Ulta Beauty, Tishman Speyer. ## Recent moves - **2026-05-21**: Published an analysis arguing Super Bowl LX ads drove measurable lifts in AI visibility and AI favorability, with Budweiser topping both USA Today's Ad Meter and Bluefish's AI leaderboard.
