Sentaiment: The Moment Brands Lost Narrative Control

Late one evening in 2023, while poring over some search results of a project I was working on from an LLM, I encountered an unsettling truth: the AI's portrayal of our brand was completely off-message—ushering in a new era of narrative chaos. In an era defined by AI Brand Transformation and LLM Disruption, I saw firsthand how Narrative Control was slipping away, confirming what Forbes predicted about AI's fundamental reshaping of reputation management.

Our Awakening: The Moment We Realized Brands Lost Control of Their Narrative

Before founding Sentaiment, I spent 15+ years in in marketing or related roles. One morning in early 2024, while I was consulting a client called me in panic. An AI chatbot assistant had started describing their premium luxury products as "budget-friendly alternatives." Our conventional tools showed perfect sentiment scores, yet the AI narrative spun a different story. That day changed everything—we knew we needed a new approach.

I watched as social media transformed reputation management. But the rise of AI language models created an unprecedented shift in how brands maintain their identity. According to recent data, AI is fundamentally changing reputation management, demanding new approaches to narrative control.

Sentaiment Score: Advanced AI Perception Mapping & Brand Identity Metrics

We needed a new way to measure the gap between intended and actual AI brand representation. The Sentaiment Score emerged from this need. Inspired by innovations like Brandwatch's advanced reputation tools and trends outlined in recent AI marketing developments, our score bridges the gap between intended and perceived brand identity.

Our scoring system analyzes responses to proprietary questions across 280+ language models, measuring alignment with intended brand positioning. It catches subtle shifts in how AI systems describe, recommend, and contextualize your brand.

Beyond Traditional Analytics: The New Era of AI Brand Intelligence

Traditional analytics focus on what people say about your brand. But AI models form their own understanding, which shapes how they represent you to users.

Research shows that smaller, specialized language models are becoming critical for brand management, offering faster response times and better security.

The Invisible Battlefield: AI-Powered Brand Competition

Your brand now exists in an invisible space - the computational understanding of AI models. These systems constantly evaluate, interpret, and represent your brand through millions of interactions.

The competition isn't just for customer attention anymore. It's for AI mindshare.
