AI Scouting Tools
Find. Compare. Build smarter.
From MyContactApp
What this is
AI Scouting Tools is a set of five research tools built into MyContactApp. They help you see how you, your competitors, and your industry show up in AI search.
AI search is changing how people find businesses. When someone asks ChatGPT or Google's AI for a recommendation, only certain businesses get named. The ones that don't get named lose the customer before they ever knew the customer was looking.
Our Scouts tell you what AI sees. Then we help you fix what's missing.
The five Scouts
Single Page Scout
Scan one page. Get a score. See what's working and what's missing.
Use it to: audit a competitor's digital business card, check your own card before sharing it, or research someone you're about to meet.
Website Scout
Scan one page or a whole website. Get a score across twelve dimensions.
Use it to: see how your company website shows up in AI search, audit a prospect before a sales call, or check a partner's web presence before a deal.
Website Comparison Scout
Pick five to twenty competitor sites. Get a ranked comparison.
Use it to: see who's winning in your space, find where the field is weak so you can stand out, or build a competitive landscape report in minutes.
Web Mentions Scout
Type any name or company. Get a list of mentions, articles, podcasts, and references found across the web.
Use it to: research a prospect before a meeting, find press for a guest you want to feature, or see what the web already says about you.
Industry Gap Scout
Type an industry or topic. We search the web for content gaps. We tell you what people are asking that nobody is answering well.
Use it to: pick what to write about next, find market opportunities your competitors are missing, or build a content plan based on real demand.
Try it free
Your first scan of each Scout is free. That gives you five free scans to try the whole suite.
After your free scans, each scan uses credits. Different Scouts cost different amounts based on how much work they do behind the scenes. We charge in pennies. The cost shows on the button before you click.
There's also a free demo at mycontactapp.com/scouts. Anyone can try it. Pick a sample business and see what each Scout returns. No signup needed.
Where you can use it
AI Scouting Tools lives in three places, all connected to the same account history.
📊
Dashboard
Standalone tool
✍️
Blog Publisher
Embedded
Dashboard: Click the link, run scans, save results, see history.
Blog Publisher: Run a scan while planning your next post. Click "Build a blog from this gap" and the Blog Publisher pre-fills with the topic and citations. AI writes the post using your Identity Engine so the writing sounds like you. You review, edit, and either publish now or schedule it on a time-release queue with other posts.
Card Builder: Run a scan while building your digital business card. Click "Build a card with these strengths" and the card builder pre-fills with patterns from your research.
Whatever Scout you run, wherever you run it, the result saves to your history. Pin the ones you want to keep. Delete the ones you don't. Search across all your past scans.
Why we built it
Most businesses optimize for Google. Almost none optimize for AI.
That's a mistake. AI search is growing fast. ChatGPT alone has more weekly users than most search engines did in their first few years combined. Google's AI overviews now answer questions before users ever click a result.
If AI doesn't see you, customers don't find you. AI Scouting Tools shows you what AI sees and helps you fix what it doesn't.
What it costs
We don't charge a subscription. You buy credits when you need them. Credits never expire.
One credit equals one cent. Most Scout scans cost between five and ten credits. So a typical scan is five to ten cents. Heavy scans (full website audits, large comparison reports) cost more. The price shows up before you scan.
Your first scan of each Scout is free. After that you can buy credits whenever you want. No monthly bills. No surprise charges.
A sample workflow
Say you sell roofing services. Here's how a customer might use AI Scouting Tools in one afternoon.
Step 1. Open Industry Gap Scout. Type "roofing services". Find that nobody is answering questions about insurance claim help in their content. That's an opening.
Step 2. Click "Compare top players in this space". Website Comparison Scout pulls ten competitor roofing sites. You see their scores side by side. Most are weak on Authority signals.
Step 3. Click "Build a blog from this gap". The Blog Publisher opens with the topic pre-filled. AI writes the post for you, using your Identity Engine so the writing sounds like you and reflects your business. You review, edit anything you want, and either publish now or schedule it to publish later. The Blog Publisher can release a whole batch of posts on a time-release schedule, so you can plan a month of content in one sitting.
Step 4. Open your card in the Card Questionnaire. Click Score My Card. See where AI thinks you're weak. Fix it. Re-score.
Total cost: maybe forty cents in credits plus the cost of the blog itself. Total time: about thirty minutes since AI does the heavy lifting. Result: one new blog post (or a queue of scheduled posts) that fills a real gap in your industry, and a sharper digital business card.
