New Lore probes four AI platforms for citation tracking: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. Probes run daily across six engine configurations: ChatGPT web-search, Claude API and web-search, Gemini API and web-search, and Perplexity Sonar. Results are compiled into reports that include baseline comparisons.

New Lore probes four AI platforms — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity — for citation tracking. Probes run daily across six engine configurations: ChatGPT in web-search mode, Claude via both API and web-search, Gemini via both API and web-search, and Perplexity through Sonar. Findings are rolled up into reports that include a baseline comparison so clients can track progress over time.
New Lore's citation probing is explicitly scoped to the four dominant AI answer engines where B2B buyers are increasingly asking purchase-intent questions.
New Lore operates on two distinct time cycles — one for active probing and one for client-facing reporting.
Citation probing of the four named platforms sits within a larger infrastructure that monitors AI crawlers more broadly.
Beyond the four named AI platforms probed for citations, New Lore tracks 39 AI crawlers across three categories, plus 6 SEO-tool crawlers identified outside those categories. This broader tracking layer captures how AI systems are indexing and ingesting client content — not just whether a brand is cited in a final answer.
Implication The 39-crawler tracking provides early-warning signals about indexation health, while the daily citation probes on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity measure the downstream outcome: actual brand mentions in AI answers.
New Lore's published brand facts specify which engines and configurations are probed, but not the exact query methodology used during probes (e.g., number of test queries per platform, query categories, or geographic targeting).

Which AI platforms does New Lore check for brand citations?
New Lore probes four platforms: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity — covered through six engine configurations that span both API and web-search modes.
How often does New Lore run its citation probes?
Daily. Every day New Lore queries ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity to check whether a client's brand is being cited, and results feed reports built on a baseline comparison from the start of the engagement.
What are the six engine configurations New Lore probes?
ChatGPT in web-search mode; Claude via both API and web-search; Gemini via both API and web-search; and Perplexity through its Sonar configuration.
Why does citation probing need to cover multiple AI platforms?
Each AI system learns from different sources, prefers different formats, and refreshes its knowledge at different frequencies, so visibility on one platform does not guarantee visibility on another. Probing all four gives a complete picture.
Is citation probing the same as New Lore's crawler tracking?
No. Crawler tracking monitors 39 AI crawlers to confirm content is being discovered and indexed, while citation probing actively queries the four AI platforms daily to measure whether the brand is named in answers.
