Aions Platform · Self-service
Audit, measure, improve. In one account.
The platform shows who AI recommends for your decision questions, what AI agents see on your pages and what you should change.
No account, no subscription, no cost.
From CHF 89 per month · Access on request
From found to purchasable
Four stages, from the agent's point of view.
The platform audits the requirements for each stage and measures whether AI recommends you. The test purchase is available in Aions Partner.
01 · Define · Question design
You measure the questions where people buy.
Every question belongs to a category. That way you see where you win and where you lose, rather than an average that holds for no category.
What exactly happens:
- Category templates based on the Aions methodology, in German, with a Swiss location.
- One category per question, tags for purchase conditions such as returns, price or delivery, metrics per category with denominator and interval, too few answers flagged.
- Core questions as a stable denominator for comparisons over time, exploratory questions reported separately.
- Add your own questions; every change is documented with its date and a break in the series.
Plans: all with template and your own questions, the number limited only by your credits · Agency per brand · Partner in a workshop.

02 · Define · AI systems
You see every AI your customers ask.
You choose which systems are measured and allocate your credits accordingly.
What exactly happens:
- Available: ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, Meta AI (Llama), DeepSeek, Qwen.
- Queried via API or through the chat interface, the way a customer asks.
- Suggested at the start: ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews; from Pro, Microsoft Copilot as well.
- Results kept separate for each system, never added up unless you ask.
At the same time: Starter up to 3, Pro up to 6, Agency and Partner all 10. Freely selectable and changeable at any time.

Available, not measured: Perplexity, Claude, Grok, Meta AI (Llama), DeepSeek, Qwen
750 answers per system (25 core questions, daily) · results kept separate per system · access via API or chat interface
03 · Measure · Monitoring
You see whether you make the shortlist, and whether a change is real.
What exactly happens: Mention Rate, Recommended, Win Rate, Citation Rate, Share of Voice, average position when mentioned, rank in Share of Voice. Plus sentiment: each answer classified as positive, neutral or negative, competitors included. A classification by the analysis, not a measurement of customer opinion. Every rate with denominator and 95% interval. A note when a difference does not hold.

06 · Measure · Fan-out analysis
You see which search you lose before AI answers.
Many AI systems work in five steps: they break the question down into fan-out queries, run them on different search engines, fetch the results and read the pages. They build the answer from what they were able to read.
What exactly happens:
- Main value: was your shop among the sources the answer shows? Yes or no. Not cited does not mean that the AI did not find your page.
- Plus the fan-out queries themselves, word for word. Visible for ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude; not visible for Google AI Overviews, Copilot and Perplexity.
- Gaps become findings with an action.
Search engines per system: ChatGPT including Bing 1 · Gemini and Google AI Overviews: Google · Microsoft Copilot: Bing · Claude: Brave · Perplexity: own index. As of October 2026; the assignment may change. 1 OpenAI officially names only third-party search providers; Bing is widely reported but not confirmed.
Plans: Pro and Agency (per brand), not in Starter.

Fan-out queries and sources taken directly from the ChatGPT and Gemini answers, last 30 days. Fan-out queries of Microsoft Copilot and Google AI Overviews: not visible. Not cited does not mean that the AI did not find your page.
07 · Audit · Readiness audit
You know whether AI can read your shop.
We fetch your pages with the user agent of each AI crawler and see what your server delivers under that user agent.
What exactly happens:
- Fetch per crawler user agent, separated into search index, training and live fetch.
- Empty pages, blocks, redirects and soft 404s, meaning empty pages that are reported as valid.
- Markup and purchase conditions: complete and consistent. Plus robots.txt, sitemaps and llms.txt.
- „Purchasable“ stage: information for agents (UCP, MCP), without calling any functions. Test purchase by an agent only in the Partner programme.
Monthly in Pro and Agency; for Starter, available separately as a readiness report.

09 · Improve · Before and after
You see whether anything changes after an action. Even if nothing does.
What exactly happens: mark a change in the trend, the same questions and systems before and after, comparison with interval.
10 · Report · Reports and extracts
An overview for senior management, the raw data for your analysts.
Plans: Starter CSV · Pro CSV and analysis extracts · Agency client report with agency logo and „Measured with Aions“ · readiness report as a PDF.
11 · In preparation · Data connections
Search Console and server logs (in preparation)
You see which AI bots fetch your pages, over time and alongside your changes and the Mention Rate. This shows what coincides in time; without a comparison group, it is not proof.
What exactly happens:
- Server logs: which AI bots fetch which pages, and when. Only bot requests are transferred, no visitor IP addresses 1.
- Google Search Console: your classic visibility in Google. Google's AI reports are not available through its interface.
Plans: Pro and Agency. 1 Server logs are not technically available for Shopify shops.
Your credits
You choose how often to measure. We show how precise that is.
Only successful answers are charged. Measuring less often saves credits, but you only see large differences.
Our recommendation: core questions daily, exploratory questions weekly, four weeks daily after an action.
| Measurement cadence | Answers in a month | Precision (95% interval) |
|---|---|---|
| weekly | 4 | 1 to 58% |
| every other day | 15 | 2 to 34% |
| daily | 30 | 3 to 26% |
| Average of 25 questions, daily (calculated) | 750 | 8 to 12% |
Worked example: assumed rate 10%, one month, 95% interval (Wilson). Rows 1 to 3: one question on one system; last row: average of 25 questions.
The last row combines 25 questions: 750 answers instead of 30, hence the narrower interval. It applies to the average across all 25 questions; each single question stays at 3 to 26%.
The narrower the bar, the more precise the figure. Repeated answers are correlated, so the actual interval is wider.
