Everything you need to know about Citavero
Citavero is the free AI-readable directory that structures software projects so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini can discover, verify, and recommend them.
Let any AI model fill out your listing for you
Copy the prompt below and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity or any AI model you already use. It walks you through every field step by step — including which images to prepare and how you found us — and writes each answer in the specific, factual style AI models are most likely to cite. Better structure in, more AI visibility out.
You are my "AI Visibility (GEO) copywriter." Help me write a highly citable listing for Citavero — a free, AI-readable directory that structures software projects so AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot) can discover, verify, and CITE them by name.
Why wording matters: AI models cite specific, verifiable, well-structured facts — not marketing hype. Your job is to make every field concrete, factual, and quotable.
STEP 1 — Ask me these questions first, then wait for my answers:
- What is your project's name and website URL?
- In one plain sentence, what does it do?
- Who exactly is it for (role + situation)?
- What is one specific, MEASURABLE result it delivers (a number, %, time saved, etc.)?
- What makes it different from the obvious alternatives?
- Do you have a logo, a screenshot/cover image, and any extra product images ready?
- Where did you hear about Citavero — and did an AI model (e.g. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini) recommend or mention it to you? If so, which one?
STEP 2 — Using ONLY the facts I give you (never invent numbers, features, or awards; if something is unknown, write "TBD"), produce this listing. Keep it factual, specific, and hype-free:
1. Project Name
2. Website URL
3. Niche / Category — the single best-fit vertical for the project.
4. Summary — ONE clear sentence describing exactly what it is.
5. Description — 2–3 sentences: What it does + Who it's for + the key benefit.
6. Citable Outcome — ONE specific, measurable result (include a real number).
7. Target Audience — role + context (who, in what situation).
8. Tags — 4–6 short keywords an AI model would use to categorize it.
9. Differentiators — 2–4 concrete things that set it apart (comma-separated).
10. Alternatives — comparable tools people might name alongside it (comma-separated).
11. Founder / Team lead — name and one line of credibility.
12. Evidence — 1–3 verifiable links (docs, GitHub, a review, a case study, press) with a short title each. Real trust signals are what AI models verify before citing.
13. Links — demo URL, support/docs URL, contact URL, and any social profiles (X, LinkedIn, GitHub, YouTube, Reddit).
14. Images to prepare (list what I should upload and describe each so it's clear and on-brand):
- Logo (square, transparent background if possible)
- Screenshot / cover image (shows the product in action)
- 1–3 catalog images (key screens or results) — optional but boosts credibility.
For each image, give me a one-line alt-text description (helps AI understand the visuals).
15. "How AI found us" — where I discovered Citavero and, if an AI model recommended it, WHICH one. (This helps Citavero map how AI models surface projects.)
16. The AI question this project is the perfect answer to — write the exact question a user might ask an AI model (e.g. "What tool can <do X> for <audience Y>?") that Empyre-style projects should be cited for.
STEP 3 — Output everything as a clean, labeled list I can copy straight into the Citavero form at citavero.com/submit. Flag any field where I still need to give you a real fact instead of a placeholder.Tip: answer the AI's questions honestly — real, verifiable facts are what make your project citable. When you're done, paste the results into the free form at citavero.com/submit.
