About

We help companies get recommended by AI agents, and convert that traffic into high-intent leads. When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or any other agent for product recommendations, we make sure our customers are the ones that show up. And when those users click through, Bear tells our customers exactly who landed on their site and which AI agent sent them, turning this into one of the highest-intent acquisition channels ever discovered.
