## What It Does

```
Prompt: "What are the best running shoe brands?"

     ChatGPT                    Claude                     Gemini
        |                         |                          |
        v                         v                          v
  "Nike is a top              "I'd recommend             "Popular brands
   choice for..."              Nike and..."               include Nike..."
        |                         |                          |
        +------------+------------+------------+-------------+
                     |
              PromptBeacon
                     |
     +---------------+----------------+
     |               |                |
  Visibility    Sentiment         Citations
  Score: 78/100  82% positive    nike.com (3x)
                                 runnersworld.com
```

**Three lines of code. Six providers. One score.**

```python
from promptbeacon import Beacon

report = Beacon("Nike").scan()
print(f"Visibility: {report.visibility_score}/100")  # 78.3
```

## BeaconGuard: Real-Time Brand Safety

Deploying a customer-facing AI chatbot? BeaconGuard ensures LLM outputs don't recommend competitors or trash your brand — **no API calls, pure local processing**.

```python
from promptbeacon import BeaconGuard

guard = BeaconGuard("Nike", competitors=["Adidas", "Puma"])
result = guard.analyze("Try Adidas instead — Nike has quality issues.")
print(result.risk_level)  # "high"
print(result.flags)       # ["Competitor mentioned: Adidas", "Negative sentiment detected"]
```

Works as middleware in any LLM pipeline, or with LangChain via callback handler/output parser:

```bash
pip install 'promptbeacon[langchain]'
```

See [Advanced Usage: Real-Time Brand Safety](docs/advanced.md#real-time-brand-safety) for integration patterns.

## Why PromptBeacon?

As AI assistants replace search engines, your brand's AI visibility is your new SEO.
PromptBeacon answers the questions that matter:

- **"How visible is my brand?"** — 0-100 score based on mention frequency, sentiment, position, and recommendation rate
- **"What do LLMs say about me?"** — Sentiment analysis with negation detection ("not great" = negative)
- **"How do I compare to competitors?"** — Side-by-side benchmarking across providers
- **"Why did my score change?"** — Evidence-based explanations with actual quotes from LLM responses
- **"Which sources does the AI cite?"** — Citation tracking: URLs, "According to X" patterns, brand associations
- **"Is my score statistically reliable?"** — Confidence intervals, volatility scoring, significance testing

## Features

| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **6 LLM Providers** | OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Cohere, Perplexity — query them all simultaneously |
| **Citation Tracking** | See which sources LLMs cite when discussing your brand |
| **Brand Aliases** | "Nike Inc", "Nike Corporation" all count as Nike mentions |
| **Industry Templates** | Pre-built prompts for ecommerce, SaaS, finance, healthcare, travel, food, tech |

| **Score Breakdown** | See which of the 4 scoring factors (mentions, sentiment, position, recommendations) drags your score |
| **Fluent API** | Chainable, readable Python interface |
| **Historical Tracking** | DuckDB-powered local storage for trend analysis |
| **CLI + Python** | Full command-line and programmatic access |
| **5 Export Formats** | JSON, CSV, Markdown, HTML, pandas DataFrame |
| **BeaconGuard** | Real-time brand safety for LLM outputs — flag competitors, negative sentiment, anti-recommendations |

## Installation

```bash
pip install promptbeacon
```

Or with [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) (recommended):

```bash
uv add promptbeacon
```

## Prerequisites

You need at least one LLM provider API key:

```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."          # https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."   # https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys
export GOOGLE_API_KEY="..."             # https://aistudio.google.com/apikey
```

Verify your setup:

```bash
promptbeacon providers
```

## Quick Start

### 3-Line Scan

```python
from promptbeacon import Beacon

report = Beacon("Nike").scan()
print(f"Visibility: {report.visibility_score}/100")
print(f"Mentions: {report.mention_count}")
print(f"Sentiment: {report.sentiment_breakdown.positive:.0%} positive")
```

### Full Competitive Analysis

```python
from promptbeacon import Beacon, Provider

report = (
    Beacon("Nike")
    .with_aliases("Nike Inc", "Nike Corporation")       # count all name variants
    .with_competitors("Adidas", "Puma", "New Balance")
    .with_providers(Provider.OPENAI, Provider.ANTHROPIC)
    .with_industry("ecommerce")                          # industry-tuned prompts
    .with_cache()                                        # skip duplicate queries
    .with_storage("~/.promptbeacon/nike.db")             # track history
    .scan()
)

# Visibility score with factor breakdown
print(f"Score: {report.visibility_score}/100")
bd = report.metrics.score_breakdown
print(f"  Mentions: {bd.mention_frequency:.0f}  Sentiment: {bd.sentiment:.0f}")
print(f"  Position: {bd.position:.0f}  Recommendations: {bd.recommendation:.0f}")

# Competitor comparison
for name, score in report.competitor_comparison.items():
    print(f"{name}: {score.visibility_score:.1f}")

# Citations the LLM used
for cit in report.citation_summary.citations[:5]:
    print(f"  Source: {cit.source_name} -> {cit.brand_associated}")

# Evidence-based recommendations
for rec in report.recommendations[:3]:
    print(f"[{rec.priority.upper()}] {rec.action}")
```

### Historical Tracking

```python
beacon = Beacon("Nike").with_storage("~/.promptbeacon/data.db")
report = beacon.scan()

history = beacon.get_history(days=30)
print(f"Trend: {history.trend_direction}")  # up, down, or stable

diff = beacon.compare_with_previous()
if diff:
    print(f"Change: {diff.score_change:+.1f} points")
```

## CLI Usage

```bash
# Quick 3-prompt scan (fast check)
promptbeacon quick "Nike"

# Full scan
promptbeacon scan "Nike"

# With competitors and multiple providers
promptbeacon scan "Nike" -c "Adidas" -c "Puma" -p openai -p anthropic

# Compare brands head-to-head
promptbeacon compare "Nike" --against "Adidas" --against "Puma"

# View 30-day history
promptbeacon history "Nike" --days 30

# Export as JSON or Markdown
promptbeacon scan "Nike" --format json
promptbeacon scan "Nike" --format markdown

# Check which providers are configured
promptbeacon providers
```
