# Lantern

> Lantern (asklantern.com) is an AI marketing platform that helps brands win customers from AI and Google search. It tracks how a brand appears in AI answers across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini, connects that evidence to brand knowledge and connected data such as Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and a CMS, and puts specialist marketing agents to work on SEO, GEO, content, ads, and PR. LanternIQ is the shared intelligence layer that grounds every agent in the same context and routes the right work. People stay in control: publishing, outreach, campaign changes, spend, and other consequential actions require human approval.

Lantern is not affiliated with Lantern Pharma, Lantern Care, or other companies sharing the Lantern name. Lantern does not offer a public REST API. Programmatic access for AI assistants is provided through Lantern MCP.
