Spotlight Empowers Brands with Real-Time AI Insights

Spotlight, a startup that built its platform with AI agents to monitor brands’ presence in AI search, has partnered with Cheil UK to deliver faster, data-driven insights to clients. The collaboration helps brands understand how LLMs cite them and provides time-based reports showing prompt results over weeks or months. Spotlight can deploy product updates within hours, without human intervention, if an AI model or AI search environment changes. The platform scans the web hourly, using APIs for models such as ChatGPT and Gemini, to surface tips and hacks that may boost visibility in LLM results. It aggregates data from sources including Google’s tools to estimate how many people use a given prompt. Different models prefer different content—Claude and Gemini favor science-backed materials, while ChatGPT tends toward Reddit. The shift underscores the need for brands to “future-proof” marketing in a real-time AI era.
