Litmus, developed by SAI ANIRUDH (Aivirex), positions itself as the ultimate "Lighthouse for AI search visibility." As search behavior shifts toward conversational platforms and AI-driven environments, Litmus provides a dedicated solution to measure and optimize how visible your website is to major AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews.

Unlike traditional tools that rely on asking an LLM to grade your site—resulting in inconsistent, fluctuating answers every time—Litmus is fully rule-based and deterministic. This means you get the exact same score for the same input, every single time. Beyond scoring, Litmus provides actionable guidance by detailing precisely what needs to be fixed and how to fix it, empowering you to either resolve issues using AI or package the solutions to sell directly to clients.
