The Prompter agent is the Genezio agent type that sends one prompt to an answer engine and records one answer. It tests direct discovery questions, in which a user asks one clear question and gets one answer.

How the Prompter agent works

For a Prompter agent topic:
  • Genezio sends the prompt to the answer engine exactly as you wrote it.
  • Genezio does not make follow-up prompts.
Prompter agent topics use prompts, not scenarios. The other agent types use scenarios. A prompt is a direct question, of the type that a real user types into an AI assistant. Example prompt:
Genezio sends this text directly to the answer engine as one message.

Typical use cases for single-turn prompts

Prompter agent conversations are useful when you want to measure these items:
  • Which brands the answers mention for direct discovery questions
  • If your brand occurs in the first recommendations
  • How different answer engines answer the same prompt

Effect of the Prompter on Brand Visibility

Genezio includes Prompter agent conversations in Brand Visibility and in the related visibility KPIs. The reason is that the answer engine must select brands organically. The prompt does not include brand names. Genezio does not use Prompter conversations for AI Recommendations, because the prompt does not ask for a recommendation. Refer to Brand Recommendation.

Why one turn gives a clean visibility baseline

Prompter agent conversations have one turn. Thus:
  • You can easily compare them across answer engines.
  • They have less variability, because there are no follow-up prompts.
  • They give a clean baseline to track visibility over time.
