Clarity Search AI built an agent named Clark to get a brand into the answer.\n\nOn July 8, 2026, founder Ayman Guandique said version 2 of the company was live, and that the product had a name. \"Say hello to your new agent, Clark,\" he wrote. Clark, he said, \"works for your business around the clock to make you the brand AI recommends,\" and turns those appearances into leads and sales.\n\nThe company described the job the next day. Clark is not a chatbot you prompt, and it is not a dashboard you log in to configure. A team connects its site and its analytics. Clark reads the site, asks a short round of questions about the buyers and the voice, and then works in the background. The team reviews what came back. The week is not supposed to disappear into writing posts. The name is the point. When someone asks who wrote the page that showed up in ChatGPT, the answer is Clark.\n\nFour jobs share that name. Clark finds the questions people put to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, writes a post that opens with the answer, and publishes it to GitHub, WordPress, or Framer, cover image included. Each day it asks the questions again and tracks the brand against competitors. It crawls the site, runs Lighthouse, and opens the fixes as a GitHub pull request. It also tries to connect a visit from one of those engines to a lead or a sale. When an engine strips the referrer, Clark stamps its own tag, so a ChatGPT visit does not get filed as if someone had typed the address.\n\nA question where the brand is missing becomes the next post. A page the engines already cite gets another one. A writing tool, a rank checker, and an analytics login, bought separately, never compare notes. Someone on the team ends up doing that by hand. Clark is the bet that they should not have to.\n\nThe free tier is a read on where things stand: ten questions buyers ask, the competitors that get named, and the places the brand does not appear. Growth, the plan on which Clark starts publishing and attributing, is $599 a month. The company's pricing page adds that the final cost depends on how many sites a customer runs and how much work it wants Clark to do, and is set on an intro call.\n\nThe launch story is a shoe company. Rodrigo, chief executive and founder of Bosten Shoes, connected his site. Clarity says Bosten went from unmentioned to the leather shoe brand recommended first in El Salvador, and that the first sale traced to ChatGPT came in under 30 days. On the company's site, Rodrigo says, \"Clarity Search AI helped us become the #1 leather shoe brand recommended in our market. We beat big shoe companies and started seeing conversions from ChatGPT in less than 30 days.\"\n\nCorrection, Oct. 13, 2026: An earlier version of this story, attested on Oct. 12, 2026, said in its summary line that Clark \"writes for\" ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. It does not. Clark publishes pages that answer questions buyers ask those engines. That version also gave the Growth price without a billing period.","category":"launch","categoryLabel":"Launches","location":"North Carolina","company":{"name":"Clarity Search AI","domain":"claritysearch.ai"},"sample":false,"sampleDisclaimer":null,"publishedAt":"2026-10-13T17:35:04.545Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-13T17:35:04.545Z","badge":"Company attested","trust":{"level":"company_attested","doctrine":"Sotwire verifies who at the company stood behind the submission.
