Use Cases
You describe the outcome; the assistant figures out which tools to call. Each workflow below chains a few of them together, so a single message does the work of ten dashboard clicks.
These are patterns, not scripts. Swap in your own brands, topics, dates, and platforms. The "Ask" line is what you type; everything under it is what the assistant does and where to take it next.
Weekly visibility check
Goal: a two-minute Monday read on where you stand.
Summarize our AI visibility for the last 7 days versus the 7 before. Break it down by platform, name the biggest movers, and flag anything that dropped.
What it does: pulls your headline KPIs, the visibility timeseries, and per-platform breakdowns, then writes the recap.
Take it further: "Now just ChatGPT and Perplexity." · "Turn that into three bullets I can paste into Slack." · "What changed in our worst topic?"
Competitor deep dive
Goal: see exactly where a rival is pulling ahead.
Compare our visibility and share of voice against every tracked competitor over the last 30 days. Who wins each topic, and where are we slipping?
What it does: lists your tracked brands, runs the comparison matrix, and breaks it down by topic.
Take it further: "Which prompts is [competitor] in that we're not?" · "Show their trend, are they rising or did they just spike?" · "What sources cite them in our top topic?"
Find your citation gaps
Goal: a target list for digital PR and content.
Show the top domains and URLs cited in answers about our topics over the last 30 days. Which ones mention competitors but never us?
What it does: reads citation analytics by source and domain, then filters for the pages you're missing from.
Take it further: "Rank those by how often they're cited." · "Which of these could we realistically earn a mention on?" · "Draft an outreach angle for the top three."
Sentiment investigation
Goal: get past the score to the reason behind it.
What's the sentiment toward our brand in AI answers right now, and which themes are driving the negative ones?
What it does: reads the sentiment summary and theme breakdown, then groups the drivers for you.
Take it further: "Pull the actual negative mentions so I can read them." · "Is this one engine or all of them?" · "Has it shifted since last month?"
Organic and AI side by side
Goal: connect AI visibility to traffic that already exists.
Compare our Search Console clicks with our AI visibility for the same topics this month. Where do we rank well organically but stay invisible in AI?
What it does: pulls Search Console numbers and AI visibility for matching topics and lines them up.
Take it further: "Add AI referral traffic to that." · "Which tracked keywords moved most this week?" · "List pages with the lowest audit scores so I know what to fix first."
Close the loop
Goal: act on a finding without leaving the chat.
Add a prompt under our 'Pricing' topic for 'best [category] tool for small teams', and start tracking Acme as a competitor.
What it does: calls write tools, so your client asks you to confirm before anything changes. You can also queue agent work: "Create a task to draft a comparison page for that gap, run it, and tell me when it's done."
Take it further: "What's the top recommendation Orchly has for us, and turn it into a task." · "Run it and poll until it finishes." · "Show me the document it produced."
Build your own
Any of these read tools can anchor a workflow. Mix and match:
| You want to know… | Try asking |
|---|---|
| Hidden sub-queries | "What does our main prompt fan out into on ChatGPT and Perplexity?" |
| AI referral traffic | "How much traffic are AI assistants sending us this month, and from which?" |
| Rank movement | "Which tracked keywords gained or lost the most this week?" |
| Technical health | "List our tracked pages sorted by audit score, worst first." |
| What to do next | "What are Orchly's top recommendations for us right now?" |
| Raw mentions | "Show recent mentions of our brand in Perplexity answers." |
Getting better answers
- Name the workspace if you run more than one: "in our Acme workspace…". Or just ask it to list workspaces first.
- Pin the window. "Last 30 days on Perplexity" beats "lately" every time.
- Stack follow-ups. The assistant keeps context, so "now break that down by topic" picks up where it left off.
- Ask for the format you'll use. A table, three bullets, a Slack-ready summary, say so up front.
- Explore without fear. Reads never change anything; write tools always stop and confirm.
