Can AI replace 100 Questions?
KINDA · weekend projectA personal CLI that asks the same questions across four model APIs and compares the answers is weekend-buildable, but matching the product's web-grounded runs, source normalization, failure handling, durable evidence, scoring, and polished reports takes substantially more work.
Build me a local AI visibility benchmark for one brand. Requirements: - Use Node 22, TypeScript, official provider SDKs, SQLite, and a CLI. - `benchmark --domain example.com --description "..."` creates one immutable run. - Generate 25 buyer questions from the domain and description, or accept a JSON question file. - Ask the exact same questions through OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and xAI. - Use each provider's supported web-search or grounding tool; keys live only in `.env`. - Limit concurrency per provider, retry transient failures, and preserve failed cells in the report. - Store prompts, raw answers, citations, timestamps, model ids, and errors in SQLite. - Detect exact and case-insensitive brand mentions; allow aliases in a config file. - Extract named competitors with one structured LLM pass after all answers are stored. - Normalize citation URLs by hostname, canonical URL, and stripped tracking parameters. - Compute visibility by provider, answer coverage, owned-domain citation rate, and top sources. - Show missed questions where competitors appear but the target brand does not. - Render a self-contained static HTML report with filters and expandable raw evidence. - Export questions, answer metrics, competitors, and citations as CSV files. - Every aggregate metric must link back to the answer rows used to calculate it. - Out of scope: accounts, billing, teams, scheduled monitoring, and recommendation generation. - Include fixture-based tests for mention detection, URL normalization, and metric calculations. - README: setup, provider-specific grounding caveats, estimated API cost, and exact run commands.

Can AI replace 100 Questions?
Kinda. The core of 100 Questions is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: reliable orchestration and retries across four providers, normalized citations and evidence-linked metrics. Read the honest list above before committing.
How much does 100 Questions cost?
100 Questions costs about $9/month (First benchmark, checked 2026-07-31), which is $108 per year.
What do I lose by replacing 100 Questions?
Honestly: reliable orchestration and retries across four providers; normalized citations and evidence-linked metrics; competitor and missed-question extraction; stored point-in-time reports and comparisons; polished exports and action recommendations. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.
Is there an open-source alternative to 100 Questions?
No mature open-source alternative worth pointing at — which is exactly why the one-shot prompt on this page exists.
