About Answer Socrates
Answer Socrates shows you the questions people ask Google, YouTube and AI assistants, groups them into topics you can write about, and checks whether AI answers recommend your brand.
Our story
Answer Socrates launched in 2020 as a free way to see the questions people type into Google. It reached #4 on Product Hunt on launch day.
James Oliver and Jamie IF took it over and rebuilt it. Today it is a full research platform used by SEOs, agencies, content teams and AI assistants, and the core keyword search is still free to try.
