Find the questions
buyers ask AI.

Crux suggests the questions buyers ask AI, predicts the searches engines run behind them, and asks the ones you add every day.

01The idea

A keyword is not
a question.

Buyers ask AI whole questions, and the engine runs its own searches before it answers.

  1. 1A keyword you have

    code hosting for startups
  2. 2Questions buyers ask

    • what is the best code hosting platform for an early stage startupExploring options
    • is it worth paying for private code hosting as a startupHas a problem
    • what code hosting do most startups use in 2026Comparing
  3. 3Searches behind one

    Behind “best code hosting platform for a small startup team”

    • ChatGPTgithub vs gitlab for small teamsComparison
    • Google AI Modegit hosting pricing small teamImplicit
    • Google AI Overviewsgit hosting comparisonComparison
  4. 4Asked every day

    Once you add it: every engine, every day.

03From a page

Which questions
cite your page.

Paste one of your pages. Crux asks the engines and shows which questions cite it.

  • Read from the links in real answers
  • Each engine, and the answer it gave
  • Add any question to a brand's report

04Fan-outModelled

The searches
behind one question.

Engines search the web before they answer. Fan-out predicts those searches, engine by engine.

  • ChatGPT, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews
  • Seven kinds, from comparisons to recency
  • Add any search as a tracked question

05Library

Every question,
once.

Every question in the workspace lives in one list, with the brands that track it.

  • Shared questions are asked and counted once
  • Type them, import them, or research them
The library in Crux: every question once, with the brands that track it and its market.

Questions

Where do the suggested questions come from?

A language model writes them from your keywords, your brand or your page. Crux checks each one, and you keep only the ones you tick.

Is fan-out what the engine really searched?

No, it is a prediction, marked Modelled. Where ChatGPT shows the searches it ran, Crux keeps those too, marked Observed.

Do suggestions use up my questions?

No. Only the questions you add count against your plan.

Can I bring my own questions?

Yes. Type them in, or import a CSV or text file, one question per line.
