Muck Rack is First Communications Platform to Bring Real-World AI Search Data to GEO Monitoring

Generative Pulse uses millions of real consumer AI interactions to help brands understand what audiences are actually asking AI

• First to market: Muck Rack is the first communications platform to use real-world consumer AI search data to inform GEO monitoring.
• Millions of real AI interactions: Generative Pulse uses actual consumer search behavior across ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI to recommend the prompts brands should monitor.
• More relevant GEO insights: PR teams can measure AI visibility and perception based on what audiences are actually asking, rather than relying solely on hypothetical or brand-created prompts.

Miami, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Muck Rack, the AI communications platform, today announced that Generative Pulse is the first GEO solution for PR teams to use real-world consumer AI search data to inform the prompts brands monitor across leading AI platforms.

Rather than relying solely on prompts created by brands or generated based on assumptions about what audiences might ask, Generative Pulse uses millions of real AI interactions to surface the questions people are actually asking. The data spans consumer interactions with platforms including ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI and is used to recommend relevant prompts for brands to monitor.

The capability gives PR and communications teams a more grounded way to understand how their brands, executives, products and competitors may show up in the AI conversations that matter to their audiences.

“GEO measurement is only as useful as the questions you’re measuring,” said Gregory Galant, cofounder and CEO of Muck Rack. “Brands shouldn’t have to guess what people might be asking AI. By bringing real-world AI search behavior into Generative Pulse, we’re giving communications teams a much more credible starting point for understanding and improving their visibility in AI answers.”

Moving GEO beyond hypothetical prompts

As brands increasingly track how they appear in AI-generated answers, deciding which prompts to monitor has emerged as a fundamental challenge. A company can track hundreds or thousands of questions, but those results have limited value if they do not reflect what real people are asking.

Generative Pulse addresses that problem by analyzing millions of real consumer AI interactions and mapping relevant search behavior to the brands customers monitor. The data powers prompt recommendations within the platform, helping teams focus their GEO measurement on questions grounded in actual audience behavior.

PR teams can then use Generative Pulse to understand how frequently their brand appears, how it is portrayed, which competitors appear alongside it and which sources influence AI-generated answers.

The addition builds on Muck Rack’s broader investment in helping communications professionals understand the growing connection between earned media, reputation and AI visibility. Muck Rack’s groundbreaking What Is AI Reading? research has analyzed more than 25 million links cited by leading AI platforms over three major studies to understand which sources shape their answers.

The real-world AI search data is integrated directly into Generative Pulse’s suggested prompts and is available to Brand Premier and Agency Premier customers.

Generative Pulse is part of Muck Rack, the AI PR Platform, which brings together media relations, monitoring and measurement, and AI visibility to help communications teams understand and influence how their organizations are represented across media and AI.
