How it sells itself

Your customers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini for recommendations, then land on your store already sold. You cannot see any of it. AskTrail brings that visibility back. A one-tap post-purchase survey captures exactly what each buyer asked an AI, in their own words. Replay those questions to see whether AI names you or a competitor. Every Monday, get a report with 1-3 concrete product-page fixes.

More and more shoppers are asking AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini for shopping advice — and clicking through to buy. The problem? Your store's analytics can't tell you when this happens. It just shows "Direct" traffic, with no clue where it really came from. Trace:AI fixes that.

Key points
  • Post-purchase survey: which AI, and what they asked it, in their words
  • Automatic AI-order tagging (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot)
  • Weekly action report with concrete product-page fixes
  • See your AI-driven sales for the first time
  • No setup or tech skills needed — just install and run
  • Honest numbers — no nonsense, nothing unnecessary
  • No manual UTM tagging or setup required
