DABLOCK AI Visibility Index

AI Visibility Index — open weekly data (dabyte.ai · dablock.ai)

Weekly measurements of which brands AI assistants actually name when a buyer asks a category question — published as open data by VECTORY on two data desks:

Site	Niche	Brands	Live data
dabyte.ai	SaaS & AI tools	20	aiv.json · history · CSV
dablock.ai	Crypto & Web3	24	aiv.json · history · CSV

This repository is a mirror for discovery and reproducibility. The canonical, always-current data lives on the domains above — no key, no sign-up, machine-first (JSON, CSV, markdown mirrors, llms.txt, MCP tools at /.well-known/mcp.json).

What is measured

Share of answer: the percentage of a fixed panel of category buyer prompts (16 per niche, frozen and versioned) in which an answer engine names the brand. Engines measured: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Google Gemini — each prompt run per engine, per release, weekly.

Example, measured 2026-08-04 (panel v2, first 3-engine release):

• dabyte.ai — Slack 33.3% · Notion 29.2% · HubSpot 22.9%
• dablock.ai — Coinbase 41.5% · Binance 26.9% · Kraken 25.0%

Rules that make the numbers citable:

• The panel is frozen between releases and any change bumps a panel version; deltas are never computed across panel versions (methodology).
• Every past measurement is archived verbatim at a permanent URL (dabyte archive, dablock archive), so any published delta can be recomputed by a third party.
• Placement cannot be bought. No brand can pay to enter, move inside, or leave the index; every machine record carries an is_client flag so the claim is verifiable rather than rhetorical.
• Measurement resolution is disclosed (one mention on one engine = one scale step); movements within one step are never reported as changes.

Two licences, because this repository holds two different things. The datasets under data/ are CC BY 4.0 (data/LICENSE) — free for any use, including commercial, with attribution. The code (scripts/, mcp-server/) is MIT (LICENSE).

MCP server

The index is also an MCP server, so an assistant can query it directly. Hosted endpoints need no installation:

https://dabyte.ai/mcp     SaaS & AI tools
https://dablock.ai/mcp    Crypto & Web3

To run your own — no dataset required, it reads the published JSON over HTTPS:

docker build -t aiv-mcp . && docker run -p 8090:8090 aiv-mcp

Tool reference and client setup: mcp-server/README.md.

Disambiguation

dabyte.ai is not affiliated with databyte.tech, DataByte, or any similarly named company. dablock.ai is not affiliated with dablock.com. Both are data desks published by VECTORY; the AI Visibility Index lives only at https://dabyte.ai/ and https://dablock.ai/.

Contributing data

Companies can contribute their own primary datasets (observed pricing, discount bands, usage telemetry, benchmark results) for free open publication with attribution — see dabyte.ai/contribute and dablock.ai/contribute. Contributing never affects a score in the index.
