## AI answers

- Sommet asks each question once a week on ChatGPT and Gemini, through their public chat interfaces.
- An answer is a **sample**. The same question can get a different answer an hour later. Read trends over several weeks, not one week.
- A **mention** counts when the answer names your product or site. A **citation** counts when the answer links to a URL on your domain. They are counted apart.
- Runs compare only when they use the same questions on the same assistants. A changed question counts from the next collection.
- If an assistant is unavailable during a collection, its answers are left out of the rate. They do not count as misses.

## Search data

- Search Console data arrives with a delay of 2 to 3 days. Final numbers can change for a few more days.
- Bing does not return an average position, and its traffic counts more verticals than Google. See [Bing Webmaster Tools](/docs/search-data/bing-webmaster-tools).
- The first audit imports up to 365 days. Query and page tables use the latest 28-day audit.

## AI bot visits

- Counts come from your host's logs, not from a script on your pages. They include bots that do not run JavaScript.
- Gemini reads most pages as Googlebot, so its count only includes its own agents. See [Count AI bot visits](/docs/ai-bots).
