How Limy Generates Prompts

Prompts are the foundation of Limy. Everything in the platform starts with the questions users ask AI systems when researching your industry, products, and brand. Powered by web intelligence, these prompts act as the backend engine that drives all visibility measurement - allowing Limy to understand what your audience is asking, how AI systems respond, and how visible your brand is across large language models.

Prompts are generated using a combination of:

• Your industry and category

• Your ICP and use cases

• Known AI search behavior patterns

• Competitive and category-level analysis

Limy continuously maps the AI search landscape by identifying the types of questions users ask when discovering, comparing, and evaluating solutions like yours.

These prompts reflect how users naturally interact with AI systems, rather than how they use traditional search engines. Limy originally expands each prompt into a set of related fan-out queries and re-runs them every 24 hours to capture changes over time.

Fan-out Queries

When a user asks a question to an AI system, the system does not treat it as a single query. Instead, the AI internally explores multiple related variations and sub-questions to gather enough context to generate a reliable answer. These are known as fan-out queries.

Limy mirrors this behavior by generating clusters of related prompt variations, ensuring visibility analysis reflects how AI systems actually reason about your category, not just the surface-level question.

Difference between Limy prompts vs. traditional SEO Queries

Prompts are fundamentally different from traditional SEO queries. In classic search, users type short keywords and browse multiple results. In AI-driven discovery, users ask full, natural-language questions - prompts - and receive a single synthesized answer generated by an AI system.

While SEO queries optimize for ranking on a results page, prompts determine whether your brand is included, how it’s described, and which sources influence the AI’s response. This shift is why prompts - not keywords - are the unit of measurement for visibility in large language models.
