ChannelSight said on April 22 it launched ChannelSight.AI, a platform built to help brands track and improve how products appear in answers from ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. (businesswire.com) The Dublin company said the product gives brands real-time visibility into how artificial intelligence tools surface, describe and recommend products online. ChannelSight said the platform is meant to show where products are being missed and where sales opportunities may be leaking away. (businesswire.com) ChannelSight’s website says the new service measures brand performance across three areas at once: artificial intelligence results, “Where To Buy” links and the digital shelf, the product pages and listings shoppers see across retailers. The company markets that combined view as a way to convert consumer demand into sales in real time. (channelsight.com) The pitch lands as brands are trying to adapt to a shift in online shopping from search results and retailer pages toward chatbot answers and automated shopping agents. Boston Consulting Group said in a January 2026 update that search engines are adding artificial intelligence features and that answer engines are becoming a new starting point for discovery. (bcg.com) Boston Consulting Group also said third-party sources increasingly shape how brands appear in artificial intelligence answers, with Reddit and Wikipedia ranking among the most cited domains across ChatGPT in its analysis. That changes the job for marketers, because product visibility depends on structured data, outside references and how machines interpret them, not only on paid placement. (bcg.com) ChannelSight is not new to this part of commerce software. The company says it already sells “Where To Buy,” shoppable media and digital shelf tools to brands trying to improve online conversion and product visibility. (channelsight.com) This is also not the first ChannelSight.AI announcement. In March 2025, ChannelSight said it launched ChannelSight.AI as an artificial-intelligence analytics platform focused on e-commerce sales, digital shelf performance and market insights. (finance.yahoo.com) The April 2026 launch reframes that product around a narrower problem: artificial-intelligence discoverability. ChannelSight’s new language centers on whether large language models can find, understand and recommend a brand’s products before a shopper ever clicks a retailer link. (businesswire.com) ChannelSight’s bet is that brands will pay for software that treats chatbot answers the way they once treated search rankings: as a measurable channel that can be monitored and tuned. The company is now selling that idea as the next layer of product discoverability. (businesswire.com)
