What is a vane?

A one tap question you place anywhere on your website.

  1. 1
    Place the vane… anywhere

    Engage visitors throughout your web content.

  2. 2
    Visitors tap

    It's intended to be quick, fun and interesting.

  3. 3
    You get the data

    Live in your dashboard: to fix problems early, plan the menu, and publish numbers worth quoting.

AI startup poll questions to steal

Questions people actually answer.

Paste these into the builder or swap in your own category. The questions buyers ask on every call belong on the page before the call.

Engage visitors

Your site talks with customers instead of at them, and they come back to see how everyone voted.

Run a better shop

Real answers on the menu, prices and hours, from the people who pay for them.

Get cited by search and AI

Original numbers only you have, the kind Google and AI answers quote.

Protect your reviews

Hear about a rough visit while you can still fix it, and know what people love.

Publish what others hedge

Every AI landing page claims accuracy. A live tally showing where four thousand buyers draw the trust line is a number your competitors do not have, and it is the kind of thing that gets cited rather than skimmed.

Where should it go on a AI startup website?

The right format for every part of your site.

The best spots are the product page, the trust or security page, the blog, the waitlist confirmation, and the pricing page.

Would you trust this unreviewed?

It is the question every buyer asks and most vendors dodge. Our honest answer is no, not yet, and we would like to know where everyone else draws that line.

Every answer lands in your dashboard the moment it's given. Spot a rough morning before it becomes a review, see which drinks earn their place, and export it all in one click.

Common questions

What owners ask us.

How do AI startups build trust with sceptical buyers?

Publish the thing competitors hedge. A live tally of where buyers draw the line on unreviewed output, alongside your own accuracy numbers including the bad ones, signals a company confident enough to be measured.

What should an AI startup website have besides a demo?

Original data. Everyone has a demo and a benchmark table. A public tally of what your market believes about automation is a statistic only you own, and it is what gets cited.

How does this help with AI search visibility?

Answer engines cite sources with original data. A page containing a unique statistic about buyer trust is far more likely to be quoted than another page of product claims.

Can prospects influence the roadmap?

Yes, and it doubles as qualification. Someone who ranks your roadmap has told you both what they need and that they are seriously evaluating you.
