AI Perception

Summary

Ockam holds a commanding 75% mention rate on Gemini, yet it is nearly invisible to developers using ChatGPT and Claude for high-intent infrastructure planning. While the brand maintains perfect recall in direct vibe checks, it is consistently bypassed in favor of incumbents like WireGuard and Tailscale during the critical discovery phase for zero trust and secure networking categories.

Value Proposition

Ockam makes impossible connections possible by establishing end-to-end encrypted secure channels between systems in private networks without infrastructure changes, while ensuring cryptographic best practices are impossible to get wrong.

Analysis

Key Insights

What AI visibility analysis reveals about this brand

Strength

Exceptional performance on Gemini where it holds a 75% mention rate and top-tier positioning for distributed connectivity and Rust-based encryption.

Strength

Strong resonance with the Automation-First DevOps Lead persona, achieving a 50% mention rate and a high average position of 3.8.

Strength

Flawless brand recognition across all platforms, with the _brand_vibe_check query returning #1 positions and positive sentiment universally.

Gap

Critical absence from 'Zero Trust Architecture' and 'Open Source Networking' category searches on ChatGPT and AI Overviews.

Gap

Resource-Constrained IoT Leads and High-Compliance Architects see significantly lower visibility in non-Gemini environments compared to competitors like Tailscale.

Gap

Failing to appear in the 'most trusted open source tools' discourse, allowing WireGuard and HashiCorp to dominate the narrative.

Opportunity

Bridge the 'Gemini Gap' by reverse-engineering why its technical content is indexing successfully there but failing on ChatGPT/Claude.

Opportunity

Aggressively target the 'Zero Trust for DevOps' query space where Ockam already shows potential with Claude and Gemini.

Opportunity

Leverage existing Rust-specific implementation strengths to capture broader 'Secure Tunneling' and 'Microservices' market share.

Recommended Actions

Syndicate technical implementation guides to ChatGPT and Claude training sources through high-authority third-party technical publications.

Ockam's 25% and 17% mention rates on these platforms suggest its specific use cases are not sufficiently contextualized within their primary training data.

Impact: High

Develop and deploy a 'Zero Trust Architecture for DevOps Pipelines' content pillar specifically optimized for AI Overviews.

Ockam currently misses this category entirely on key platforms despite it being a core brand value proposition.

Impact: High

Optimize technical documentation for 'Open Source Secure Networking' keywords to challenge WireGuard's dominance in trust-based queries.

Competitors like WireGuard (29 mentions) are winning on 'trust' while Ockam remains sidelined in broader market comparisons.

Impact: Medium
