AI prompt research
AI prompt research that starts from real buyer questions
AI prompt research is choosing the questions to track in ChatGPT and the other engines. Guess them and you score well on prompts nobody types. CueScout suggests prompts from your site and category, shows the questions buyers repeat in public threads, and adds your Search Console queries, so the list you track starts from real wording.

Why prompt research decides everything after it
Prompts written by marketing sound like it
Buyers do not type your positioning. A list built from your homepage scores you on questions nobody asks.
Search data stops at the search box
Search Console shows what people search on Google, not what they ask an assistant. You need both.
Forum questions never reach the plan
The questions that repeat in public threads are the most honest brief you will get, and they rarely reach the people who plan content.
Where good prompts come from
Repeating questions
Questions buyers ask in public
CueScout reads public threads in your category the way a logged-out visitor would and counts which questions keep coming back.
Near misses
Search Console queries you almost win
Queries where Google gives you impressions but leaves you on page two become To-dos of their own, with the numbers attached.
Intent
Every prompt gets a label
Filed by rules, no model involved. Branded prompts stay out of the headline rates.
- Buying: "best", "top", "which"
- Comparison: "vs", "alternative"
- Informational: everything else
- Branded: your name in it
How it works
Starter has 20 prompts and Growth 100, split across your brands with at least 10 each, and every prompt is checked daily.
Compare plansStart from suggested prompts
CueScout drafts a first set from your site and category. Edit them until they sound like a buyer.
Look at repeating questions
Public threads in your category are read and counted, so the questions that keep coming back surface first.
Connect Search Console
Queries where Google gives you impressions but few clicks turn into To-dos next to the AI gaps.
Track and act
Every prompt is checked daily. Where you are missing, the gap becomes a To-do with its evidence. See the AI rank tracker.
What it doesn’t do
- We do not report how many people ask a prompt. No public source measures assistant query volume.
- Forum questions are one input to the list, read logged out. Nothing is posted anywhere.
- Search Console is optional; without it the Search Console To-dos do not appear.
Questions
What is AI prompt research?
Choosing which questions to track in AI assistants, based on how buyers actually phrase them, so your visibility numbers measure something real.
How do I know what people ask ChatGPT?
Nobody publishes assistant query logs. The closest evidence is how buyers phrase questions in public threads and on sales calls, plus your Search Console queries.
Do I need Search Console connected?
No. Prompts and AI checks work without it. Connecting it adds To-dos for the queries you almost win.
Which forums does CueScout read?
Public threads on Reddit, Hacker News and Quora, read the way a logged-out visitor would. They are one input to the question list.
