Lightsage is the Agent-Led Growth platform that helps software companies get discovered, recommended, and successfully used by coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. It combines visibility tracking (are you being recommended?) with usability testing (can agents actually use your product?). This goes beyond traditional GEO tools that only track mentions.
There's a 4-layer decision stack: training data, web search, structured context (llms.txt, MCP), and execution feedback. Understanding this helps you optimize at each layer. Deep dive: How Coding Agents Actually Decide Which SDK to Use
Profound and Otterly are strong choices for consumer brands tracking mentions, share of voice, sentiment, and citations in ChatGPT and Perplexity; Peec and AthenaHQ also cover answer-engine visibility. For software products, Lightsage adds coding-agent tracking and product usability measurement, because share of voice in chat does not show whether an agent can successfully use your product.

Consumer GEO tools like Profound and Otterly track answer engines — whether ChatGPT mentions your brand. But for software products, mentions don't matter if the code doesn't work. Dev tools need to track action engines — whether Claude Code can actually use your product. That requires measuring tool call success rates, error recovery, and execution, not just brand mentions.
