Every day, people put your policy debates to ChatGPT, Claude, Google and Perplexity — and take the answers as fact. Breakwater watches those answers, scores them against your positions, and tells you when the story shifts, who is shifting it — and what to do about it.
The Answer monitor — one question, every platform, scored weekly against your position.
Track the questions people actually put to AI assistants — each backed by search-demand evidence, asked in several phrasings, and sampled week after week so you see the distribution, not a coin flip.
What counts is your arguments appearing — whoever carries them. Every answer is judged against positions you write and own, on a spectrum from favorable to hostile.
Every question gets a strategy grounded in who actually supplies its answers — which reporter to brief, what authoritative piece is missing, where accurate voices are thin — each play with a stated purpose.
How it works
Type an issue or a bill. Breakwater proposes the questions real people ask AI about it — with the search volume to prove each one earns its place.
Write where you stand, in your words — we map what the opposition argues and surface the key events found in the answers. Every answer is scored against positions you own.
A digest that starts with what matters: framing shifts with evidence, new sources entering the answers, demand rising — and an action plan grounded in who supplies the answers today.
The sources
Every link an AI answer cites is classified — supportive, neutral or adverse — answer by answer, not by outlet reputation. Roll them up across 30 days and you know which outlets, journalists, and pages actually supply the framing, which articles do the damage, and where supportive ground is thin. Action plans start from that list, not from guesswork.
The playbook
Strategy for public-affairs professionals, written from the source data — the lever, the person or venue, and the purpose. You know how to execute; Breakwater tells you where it counts.
Grow supportive voices. Never suppress, never astroturf — Breakwater plans are comms work you'd be glad to explain.
AI assistants compose answers from sources they trust. Breakwater measures what actually matters — whether your side of the story makes it into the answer, from your site or anyone else's — and shows you exactly where to grow the supportive ground when it doesn't.
