Built for Cybersecurity, DevTools & DevOps Startups. 50% Off for Qualified Teams.
Your buyers, including security engineers, platform teams, and developers, are already asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini “What’s the best [your category] tool?” If AI isn’t citing you, you’re invisible at the exact moment of evaluation. GrackerAI fixes that, automatically.
We've doubled down on these two verticals because that's where we win hardest.
Cybersecurity
Buyers research with the highest technical scrutiny in B2B. They expect accurate CVE references, current threat intel, and compliance-aware content. We have specialized models for this, 2,500+ security keywords covered, real-time CVE databases, breach trackers, and compliance centers.
DevTools
Developers were the earliest adopters of ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and Perplexity for evaluating tools. AI search isn't a future channel for DevTools. It's already the channel. Both audiences punish generic content and reward technical depth. GrackerAI is built exactly for that.
A buyer asks ChatGPT:
"What's the best SIEM tool for mid-market SaaS?"

Common Questions
What Founders Are Asking
Two reasons. First, our platform has specialized AI models for these verticals, including security keyword coverage, CVE and compliance accuracy, and technical DevTools content depth, that generic tools can't match. Second, these are the audiences where AI search adoption is furthest along, so the upside for early movers is biggest.
No. GrackerAI is built for solo founders and lean teams. Most founders spend less than an hour a week on it after onboarding. The platform handles content generation, publishing, and monitoring automatically.
Traditional SEO tools optimize for Google's blue links. GrackerAI optimizes for being cited by AI search engines, a fundamentally different game with different signals, formats, and distribution. Ranking on Google and being cited by ChatGPT require very different content strategies.
Initial visibility improvements typically show in 4–8 weeks. Significant citation increases by 2–3 months. Most startups hit 5,000+ monthly visitors within 60 days and 50,000+ by month 6. Results vary by vertical and starting baseline.
That's fine. Authentic founder stories, including the messy middle, are more credible than vanity-metric case studies. We'll work with whatever you're comfortable sharing. Sensitive numbers can always be expressed as percentages or ranges.
The 50% discount is our best startup offer and isn't combinable with other promotions. That said, partner program members, such as those in NVIDIA Inception or Microsoft for Startups, often get prioritized review.
Yes, if you're a B2B SaaS startup that fits the broader criteria. We're prioritizing cybersecurity and DevTools, but our team reviews every application and we'll let you know either way. Apply through the same form below.
