Scrunch AI

Scrunch AI (scrunch.com) is an AI customer experience platform for AI search visibility and optimization - often called Answer Engine Optimization (AEO/GEO). It monitors and optimizes how a brand shows up across AI assistants and answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Copilot): tracking brand presence, position, sentiment, citations, and competitor share of voice; measuring AI bot and agent crawl traffic; auditing pages for AI search readiness; and running an Optimize-and-Deploy pipeline that audits, optimizes, and publishes machine-readable page versions through its Agent Experience Platform (AXP). Scrunch exposes a REST Data API (api.scrunchai.com/v1, Bearer API keys with query/configure/create-brand scopes), a hosted MCP server ("Scrunchie") for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other clients, and Looker Studio / Data Studio connectors. The Data API also exposes a Signals surface - a nightly detection sweep of statistically-tested level changes and trends, with stable signal fingerprints and team reactions. Backed by Homebrew and Mayfield; acquired by Sitecore in June 2026 and operating as a standalone platform.

Scrunch AI publishes 11 APIs on the APIs.io network, including agent-traffic API, ai-referrals API, axp-render API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Company, AI, AI Search, Answer Engine Optimization, and Generative Engine Optimization.

The Scrunch AI catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Scrunch AI’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, code examples, engineering blog, support, and 32 more developer resources.
