AgentClara's answer

Most AI receptionists answer the phone. Clara staffs the whole front desk: she answers every call 24/7, books clients straight into your live diary, chases enquiries that didn't book, and covers your website chat, SMS, social media inbox and email — with those extra channels included free, not sold as add-ons. She's UK-built, GDPR-native, priced in pounds, and you set her up yourself online in minutes with a free number and £100 of credit — no sales call, no quote.

Comquest's answer:

Most competitor tools stop at monitoring, they show you a dashboard of mentions and leave the rest to you. Comquest goes all the way to the action: it finds the specific people that are either ready to buy or ready to leave your competitor, scores them for buying intent so you know who's actually worth your time, and writes the reply for you in a voice that sounds human, not corporate.

It's also the only competitor analysis tool that pairs this with AI visibility tracking. Buyers increasingly ask AI what to buy instead of Googling, Comquest scans five AI engines with your market's real buying questions and shows whether the AI recommends you or a rival, and how that changes month to month.

One tool: win the customers your competitors lose today, and make sure AI sends you tomorrow's.

AgentClara's answer

UK service businesses that lose money to missed calls — gyms, salons, aesthetics clinics, dental practices, estate agents and law firms — where one missed enquiry is a lost booking worth hundreds. The second audience is agencies and resellers who want to offer AI receptionists to their own client book without building the technology themselves.

Comquest's answer:

Founders and marketing teams at product brands, from SaaS and developer tools to e-commerce, electronics, and local services. Typically small and mid-sized companies competing against bigger, better-known incumbents: people who need to win customers from rivals without a big ad budget, and who want to know whether AI chatbots recommend them or their competitors when buyers ask. Agencies are a secondary audience, running Comquest as a competitive intelligence service for client brands.

AgentClara's answer

AgentClara was built by a Glasgow gym owner who kept losing members to unanswered calls. The phone rang mid-class, the Instagram DM arrived at 10pm, and the customer joined the gym down the road — not because the service was worse, but because nobody answered. Clara was built to be the employee that always answers, and now does the same job for service businesses across the UK.

Comquest's answer:

Comquest comes out of years running Affilink, our affiliate marketing business. Affiliate marketing is a masterclass in one thing: buying intent. You learn to spot the difference between someone venting and someone about to spend money, and you learn where those people actually are.

Increasingly, that's forums: the threads where real buyers ask real questions, which are exactly the pages Google now ranks at the top.

We kept seeing the same pattern. Someone posts they are looking for a certain product, the thread ranks on page one of Google, thousands of buyers read it, and the brands who should be in that conversation are nowhere. Not because they don't care, but because nobody has time to read forums all day.

Comquest is that experience turned into a product. It finds the people your competitors are losing, scores them for buying intent the way we learned to judge it by hand, and drafts the reply so joining the conversation takes a minute.

Buyers now also ask AI what to buy as often as they Google it, Comquest also tracks whether AI engines recommend you or a rival, the same question, "are you there when buyers decide?", asked at the newest place they're deciding.

AgentClara's answer

Three reasons. First, channels: rivals are phone-first, so DMs and web chat go unanswered — Clara covers every channel in one place. Second, booking: many entry plans only take messages or send a booking link; Clara books the appointment during the call and sends the confirmation. Third, no sales process: the big UK incumbents quote you after a consultation, while Clara is self-serve with £100 of free credit so you can test her on your real calls before paying anything.

Comquest's answer:

Comquest hands you a ranked list: the specific people fed up with your competitors, scored 0–100 for how ready they are to buy, with the reply already drafted in a voice that fits the thread. You go from "here's what's being said" to "here's your next customer, and here's what to say" - the work that usually takes hours of reading happens in an instant.

Then there's the half the others don't cover at all: AI visibility. When buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity what to buy, Comquest shows you who gets named - you or your rivals - across five engines, tracked month to month, with what's driving the results.

And it takes five minutes to set up. Name your competitors, add a few keywords, run your first scan - nothing to connect, no onboarding call.
