Ranketta is a Czech technology company and software platform that specializes in "AI Visibility" (a term used to describe the measurement and analysis of how brands and products appear in responses generated by large language models) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). Founded in 2025, the company develops software that enables e-commerce, direct-to-consumer (D2C), and business-to-business (B2B) brands to monitor, analyze, and optimize their presence within Large Language Models such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity.ai.[1][2][3][4]
The platform responds to changes in how users interact with search tools from traditional search engines to generative AI interfaces by providing data on how brands and products are recommended by AI algorithms.[3]
History
[edit]Ranketta was founded in 2025 by Vojtěch Oravec, a researcher and software engineer.[5][4] Prior to founding the company, Oravec conducted research at the Czech Technical University (CTU) at the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics (CIIRC) in the group of Tomáš Mikolov. Oravec also previously served as a product manager at Henry Schein.[6][2]
The concept for Ranketta emerged from Oravec’s observation that brands lacked measurable insight into how their products appear in recommendations generated by large language models. The project initially focused on increasing visibility but later shifted toward measurement and analytics of how specific products appear in AI-generated recommendations.[7]
In November 2025, the company announced a €1 million pre-seed funding round led by Lighthouse Ventures with participation from Gi21 Capital.[1][8] The capital was raised to fund expansion into the US market, grow the engineering team, and develop integrations with e-commerce platforms such as Shopify.[2][9]
In January 2026, Jan Vavřička became Ranketta’s ambassador in the Czech Republic.[10]
Software
[edit]Ranketta operates as a platform that queries various AI models, such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity, to simulate user interactions and track brand presence.[11] The platform aims to provide insight into AI-generated recommendations by identifying the sources and citations that large language models use to generate their responses.[1][2]
Features
[edit]Key functionalities of the software include:
- Product-Level Visibility: Unlike traditional social listening tools that primarily track brand sentiment, Ranketta tracks specific products to analyze how individual items appear in AI recommendations.[7][3]
- Source Identification: The platform identifies the citations and sources, such as media articles and reviews, that AI models utilize to construct their answers.[2]
- Recommendation feature: A system that analyzes collected data to suggest content strategies and citations.[3]
- Sentiment Analysis: The software evaluates the qualitative context of brand mentions within generated responses.[2][8]
Operations
[edit]Ranketta is headquartered in the Czech Republic, with operations in Prague and Brno.[8][9] Within two months of its launch in late 2025, the company reported an Annual recurring revenue (ARR) of approximately $100,000 and had secured over 20 clients from the European market, including companies such as Brainmarket, Boost.space, Purple Technology, and Sloneek.[2][7][4]
The company is part of a broader wave of "AI Visibility" startups competing in the emerging market of generative search optimization.[4][7]
