About this data
Prompt Pulse runs on SolCrys's proprietary AEO methodology — the same framework behind our AI-visibility measurement. Each question is grounded in public demand signals, written the way buyers ask AI assistants, and labeled by the intent behind it, the persona asking, and the buying stage. Demand is relative within each industry: it shows where buyer interest concentrates and what's rising. How the dataset is built.
Prompt Pulse reports relative demand and trend direction within each industry, computed from 12 months of demand data; dataset snapshot June 2026. US / English.
