Cloro
AI search / answer-engine monitoring API.
What Cloro does
AI search / answer-engine monitoring API. One API (plus a hosted MCP server) that runs a prompt through the live ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Mode, AI Overviews, Google Search and News and returns structured JSON: the answer, the brands named, parsed sources and citations, query fan-out and shopping cards. Country and US-state targeting. Used by AI-visibility / GEO tools; powers the AI-engine step of Treg's AEO Toolkit.
