Build AmICited
KINDAreplaces $57.73/mosaves $692.76/yrback to the verdict
Before step 1
you will need
- headless browser automation (Playwright/Puppeteer) to reach the real consumer surfaces, not just model APIs
- residential or geo-targeted proxies to query from specific countries
- a scalable scheduler/queue and the infra to run and retry many browser sessions in parallel
- durable per-run storage that never overwrites an answer, so history compounds
- ongoing upkeep as each engine and surface changes its UI, models, and citation format
Delivery order
Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
done whenThe project starts from a documented command in a clean checkout.
Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
done whenThe main object can be created, read and changed end to end.
Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done whenBad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.
Cover the critical path with automated tests.
done whenThe highest-risk behavior fails the suite when it breaks.
Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.
done whenA fresh clone reaches the first successful workflow using only the README.
That is the whole plan for AmICited. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- the faithful signal: API answers only approximate what the ChatGPT app, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Copilot, and Grok actually serve real users, which is what AmICited measures with real browsers
- country-level results: what users see varies by geography, which needs a proxy fleet a solo build will not stand up
- scale and reliability: running and retrying thousands of real browser sessions in parallel is the hard engineering, not the scoring
- months of stored answers and competitor baselines, without which a single week's visibility number is noise, and which you cannot backfill once you start late
- human AEO consultations on higher plans, advice from real experience acting on your data, which no self-hosted script reproduces
