Why was Depra AI started?

best face wash for oily skin under ₹500

  1. 1Sol & Co
  2. 2Dewbloom
  3. 3Kinara

Depra AI started inside a D2C brand. Ifham Baig ran one in India, and running a consumer brand teaches you to watch every place a sale can start: Google, marketplaces, Instagram, a friend’s recommendation. Then a new place appeared. Buyers began typing questions like "best face wash for oily skin under ₹500" into ChatGPT and Gemini, and the answer named two or three brands.

For a brand owner that answer is the new shelf, and there was no way to see it. You could track a Google ranking to the decimal, but nothing told you whether an AI assistant recommended you, which competitor it picked instead, or which website it trusted when it decided. Ifham was already interested in AI, and this was the gap he wanted to close: a tool a D2C team could use to see those answers and act on them. He built Depra AI with co-founder Zia Wasi, who leads Depra AI’s GEO research.

Depra AI is made in India, on purpose. We want India to lead in AI and to build the tools the rest of the world uses, starting with a problem Indian brands feel first. Indian buyers ask in Hinglish, pay in rupees and shop on Indian sites, so Depra AI tracks questions in English, Hinglish, French and most other major languages, plus code-mixed questions, on every plan. It prices every plan in rupees and asks the AI engines from inside the country you sell in.

The same idea shapes the research. Our first study, in August 2026, found that asking the same buying question in Hinglish instead of English changed which brands the AI engines recommended, most of all on Perplexity. An October 2026 re-run found the change larger on Perplexity and much smaller on Gemini and ChatGPT. The data and code are open on GitHub, so anyone can check the numbers and build on them.

What does Depra AI do?

Depra AI takes the questions your buyers ask AI, such as "best body balm under ₹3,000", and asks them to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and every other AI engine you track, from inside the country you sell in. It stores every full answer and records whether your brand was named, in what order, in what tone, and which websites the answer cited.

Each tracked question is called a prompt. You pick the prompts and competitors, and Depra AI turns the stored answers into scores you can compare over time. See every Depra AI feature for the full list.

  • The AI engines

    ChatGPT with web search, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, the AI-written summary Google shows above some results, are all checked daily, on every plan. Enterprise adds Claude, Microsoft Copilot, DeepSeek, Google AI Mode, Grok and more.

  • Most major languages, including Hinglish

    English, Hinglish, French and most other major languages, plus code-mixed questions, on every plan. Hinglish is Depra AI’s speciality.

  • 40 markets

    India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland and 29 other European countries, 6 Gulf countries and Australia, with up to 10 markets per project.

  • Competitors and sources

    You see how often AI names each tracked competitor, your share of voice (your share of all brand mentions in those answers), and the websites that recommend your competitors but never mention you.

  • Next steps

    Depra AI ranks up to 12 places to get mentioned and up to 12 page formats to publish on your own site. It also checks which of 41 AI crawlers your robots.txt file, the file that tells bots what they may read, lets in.

software, not an agency

Is Depra AI an agency?

No. Depra AI is self-serve software. You set up your brand, prompts and competitors, and the app runs the checks, stores the answers and ranks what to do next. Separately, the Depra AI team can do the work end to end for a brand, on its website, product data and listings, with the brand approving each change, priced apart from the software plans (team@depra.ai).

Agencies that want to run AI visibility work for clients on Depra AI can apply to the Depra AI agency partner programme. No partner agencies are listed yet, and applications are open. Every listing will be a real agency working on the platform.

research

What research does Depra AI publish?

Depra AI publishes open research, with data and code, on how AI engines answer buyers in India. The first study asked 10 buying questions (5 skincare, 5 fashion) in English and in Hinglish, 8 times each, to ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity from inside India. That produced 480 answers, with fieldwork on 14 August 2026.

One result: in August 2026, Gemini cited sources in 90.0% of English answers and 41.3% of Hinglish answers. In the October 2026 re-run (479 answers), the figures were 73.4% and 56.3%.

scores

How does Depra AI calculate its scores?

Scores come only from stored answers. Your report shows a 95% confidence range for visibility, the band the true figure most likely sits in, and the number of answers behind it.

Prompts that already contain your brand name are left out of your scores by default, so a brand cannot score well by asking about itself. The full method, including what Depra AI does not track, is on how Depra AI measures AI visibility.

Depra AI case studies cover Depra AI itself, the worked example of the proprietary Depra AI methodology, and Holy Strips, a named client whose results will be added as they come in.
