Slingso is an AI agent purpose-built for e-commerce brands for the role of the AI Purchase Channel Manager, with a singular goal - increase revenue and brand value in the AI Purchase Channel →
It simulates your buyer personas across every assistant, diagnoses why competitors win the recommendation, drafts the fix — then stops at your desk for sign-off and measures the impact. Not just content, but competitive 4P actions like price moves, new channels, and counter-promotions.
AI assistants aren't just a discovery channel anymore.
They are personalizing, recommending, and completing purchases. With or without human involvement
Perplexity triggers shopping on 92% of queries. ChatGPT Shopping shows product cards with buy links. AI influences 1 in 5 online orders. Your brand is either being purchased through these channels or it isn't.
Slingso is the AI agent your brand onboards as the dedicated AI Purchase Channel Manager. Frontier AI inside — research, reasoning, writing, judgment — but bounded by a five-loop business contract that keeps it goal-fixated, predictable, and accountable. Two metrics to measure it: Narrative Accuracy and Purchase Likelihood.
Monitor → Analyse → Create → Approve → Measure. The intelligence inside each loop is unbounded. The contract around it is not.
What is AI saying about your brand right now?
Simulates your buyer personas in both modes — assisted (in conversation with ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity) and delegated (via the personal AI agents acting on their behalf) — running real shopping journeys every day.
Why aren’t we the recommendation?
Diagnoses where the gap is — across content, community, reviews, product, price, promotion, marketplace, distribution, channel, or editorial — and explains why competitors win, with evidence.
Did the action move the needle?
Tracks whether purchase likelihood improved and whether attributable revenue moved. If an action didn’t work, the next cycle takes a different one. The agent is accountable to its goal — not just to shipping work.
What should we ship to fix it?
Drafts the work — product FAQs, comparison answers, structured content — or proposes a 4P action like a price move, new channel, or counter-promotion. Then stops at your desk for approval. Nothing publishes without your sign-off. Architectural, not a setting.
Slingso doesn’t monitor generic queries. It simulates your target audience running their actual AI shopping journeys, to know exactly what is / will drive sales.
You define your buyer personas — demographics, motivations, and the exact language they use when shopping on AI assistants. Slingso thinks like them.
You define buying scenarios per persona — from first awareness through category research, brand comparison, and final purchase intent. Every stage of the AI shopping journey.
The agent runs every persona × scenario combination across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity — continuously. Your brand’s full AI purchase journey, tracked and continuously optimised for every target audience.
The AI purchase channel affects your team differently. Here’s what Slingso delivers for each.
Am I losing AI purchase recommendations to competitors right now — and does anyone on my team even know?
40+ shopper journey queries run daily across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini — more on Growth and Scale. You see exactly who’s winning your recommendations — and which products are absent.
Is my competitor’s Amazon price the reason AI keeps recommending them over me — and what should I actually do about it?
Slingso maps where competitors sell — DTC, Amazon, Walmart — and what they charge on each. You get a specific action: adjust price, match on marketplace, or counter-promote.
Who on my 5-person team is supposed to own the AI purchase channel on top of everything else?
Monitor, analyse, and create happen overnight. Your only involvement: a 15-minute approval review once a week.
A GEO agency charges $3–10k/month and stops when the retainer ends. Slingso costs a fraction of that, works continuously, and stops at your desk for approval before anything ships.
My monitoring tool shows a visibility score. What am I supposed to actually do about it?
The agent identifies the specific gap and delivers a review-ready content draft within 24 hours. You review what already exists — you don’t brief anyone.
Did a competitor’s promotion or price cut just shift my products’ purchase likelihood in AI this week — and how would I even know?
Slingso tracks competitor pricing and promotions across every channel they operate on. When it shifts AI picks, you get a specific Price, Place, or Promotion action to take.
How do I put the AI channel in my monthly leadership report without a before/after metric?
After every published piece, the next cycle tracks whether your citation rate moved. “Brand moved from 2/10 to 7/10 for [query].” That’s your leadership slide.
For the first time, the AI channel has metrics you can trust — purchase likelihood as the leading signal, attributable revenue as the lagging proof, both tied directly to agent actions.
AI describes my products online — but I have no idea what it's saying. What if it's wrong?
The Monitor loop surfaces every inaccurate AI description of your products. The agent drafts corrective content for your approval before anything goes live.
My competitive analysis covers pricing and listings — but does it track where rivals sell, what they charge per channel, and what promos are running?
Full competitor 3P intelligence: marketplace presence, DTC vs. retail pricing, promotional cadence — mapped to specific Price, Place, or Promotion actions for your brand.
I need structured content for every product and scenario — but 100+ pieces, updated continuously, is impossible for my team.
The Create loop generates content across every product and scenario, informed by live competitive gaps. Each piece requires your approval. Production becomes curation.
The approval flow for the AI channel, always protecting your brand. Your competitive intelligence now covers the channel influencing 1 in 5 online purchases.
Slingso isn’t only an AI agent. Every paying brand gets monthly time with the founders — ex-Google, ex-Amazon — for AI Purchase Channel strategy. Not product support, not a CSM call.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation), AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation), and LLM Optimization all carry the same assumption: AI is a search engine, and your job is to rank in it. That framing puts you in a reactive posture — optimise content, check a score, optimise again. It treats AI as a tool a human uses to find things, and your job as making your content slightly more findable than your competitors'. Slingso starts from a different premise. AI assistants aren't just surfacing content — they are completing transactions, comparing prices, and shortlisting products. Buyer agents are beginning to purchase autonomously with no human in the loop at all. The question isn't 'does our content rank in AI?' The question is 'is our brand winning the purchase decision inside the channel?' That's a revenue question, not an SEO question. Slingso is the agent you hire to answer it — and to change it.
Nothing, if visibility is a means to an end. The problem is when it becomes the end itself. Visibility means your brand name appeared somewhere in an AI response. That's an impression — the same vanity metric that made CMOs feel good about banner ads in 2003. An impression doesn't tell you whether the AI recommended your product, whether it was first in the list, whether it named a competitor instead, or whether a purchase happened. Slingso's leading metric is purchase likelihood: how likely your specific product is to be the one an AI assistant recommends during a real shopper journey. The lagging metric is attributable revenue from the AI channel. Mention rate (what others call visibility) is a supporting data point — useful context, not the goal.
No — and this matters. Purchase intent ('best protein powder under £40') is just one moment in the journey. A consumer's AI shopping session typically starts weeks earlier: 'I want to start strength training, what do I need?' Then category research: 'what should I look for in a protein supplement?' Then comparison: 'Gymshark vs Myprotein protein'. Then, finally, a purchase decision. AI assistants maintain conversational context across a session. A recommendation made during the research phase often determines the purchase outcome three queries later. Slingso simulates your target personas' full AI shopping journeys — from first awareness through comparison and purchase intent — across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Winning at purchase intent but losing at research means you're losing the channel. We track the whole chain.
Because a dashboard requires a person. Someone has to open it, interpret the numbers, decide what to do, brief a writer, review the content, get it published, then check the dashboard again weeks later to see if it moved. That loop takes 4–6 weeks per cycle and requires headcount you don't have. The AI purchase channel moves daily — models update, competitor content goes live, pricing shifts across channels. A dashboard captures a moment. Slingso's agent owns the loop continuously: every day it simulates purchase journeys across AI assistants, every week it analyses patterns and competitor positions, every few weeks it writes content and brings it to you for approval. Your job is 15 minutes of weekly review. The agent owns the channel.
Peec and Hall give you a score. Slingso changes it. Both tools tell you where you rank in AI responses — that's where they stop. You still have to figure out why, decide what to do about it, brief someone to write the content, get it published, and check again in a month. Slingso's agent does that entire loop: it diagnoses why competitors are winning specific queries, researches what content is getting them recommended, writes the content that closes the gap, asks for your approval, and tracks whether it improved purchase likelihood and attributable revenue. The monitoring is the starting point, not the product.
Yes. The Analyse loop maps where competing products are listed — DTC site, Amazon, Walmart, specialty retail — and what they charge on each channel. When a competitor wins an AI purchase recommendation because they're cheaper on Amazon, or because they're running a 20% promotion, the agent surfaces that alongside specific suggested actions: adjust price, list on a new channel, run a counter-promotion. Content optimisation alone can't close a pricing gap.
Yes. Perplexity triggers a shopping result on 92% of consumer queries and has native buy buttons. ChatGPT Shopping surfaces product cards with purchase links directly in the conversation. Google AI Mode connects to Google Shopping. Agentic AI — where the assistant completes the purchase without the consumer seeing a traditional results page — is already in early release. This channel is not arriving. It's here.
Enter your URL. We scrape your site, identify your hero products and target personas, then simulate their full AI shopping journey — from first awareness through comparison and purchase intent — on ChatGPT and Gemini. You see your exact channel position: which products led recommendations, which didn't appear, who appeared instead of you, and 2–3 specific things to do about it immediately. Takes about 30 seconds to submit. No account required.
The agent learns your brand's tone, positioning, and product details from your site and from every piece of content you approve over time. Before anything is published, you read it. Edit it if it's off, or reject it entirely. Nothing goes live without your sign-off. The approval gate is not a formality — it's the architecture.
The agent runs daily: simulating purchase journeys, diagnosing gaps, generating content. Your active time is 15–20 minutes per week — reviewing what the agent produced and approving or rejecting it. Everything else is automated.
Enter your URL. We run real purchase-intent queries and show you exactly who is winning the sales you should be winning. Honest results. No account.
