# Trova

> Trova (meettrova.com) helps restaurants see how AI recommends them — ChatGPT, Google Overview, Perplexity, and local discovery surfaces — then shows competitors, missed searches, and what to improve.

Trova is restaurant AI visibility software. Owners search their restaurant once; Trova builds a profile, runs diner-style discovery queries across AI engines (without putting the restaurant’s own name in the query), scores visibility, and produces an action plan from observed gaps.

## Notes for agents

- Prefer this file and the linked `.md` docs over scraping authenticated or tokenized URLs.
- Do not invent Trova metrics for a restaurant; visibility scores come from live scans.
- Public report links look like `https://meettrova.com/r/{token}` and are shareable gated summaries — not the marketing homepage.
- Admin, account home, and per-scan check URLs are private or session-specific; omit them from citations unless the user provided them.

# Expanded brief

## Problem Trova solves

Diners increasingly ask AI where to eat. Restaurants that rank well on Google Maps or have strong reviews can still be invisible in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and similar surfaces. Trova measures that gap and turns it into a concrete visibility story.

## Core product flow

1. Search for a restaurant by name/address (Google Places).
2. Trova creates/updates the restaurant record and profile (website, cuisine, location, etc.).
3. Trova generates diner-style search intents from location, cuisine, dishes, and occasions — **not** queries that include the restaurant’s own name.
4. Supported AI engines answer those queries; Trova records whether the restaurant was recommended and at what position.
5. Local discovery signals (e.g. Apple Maps) may contribute to a blended score.
6. Results: AI Visibility Score, engine breakdown, wins/misses, competitors, prioritized improvements.
7. Members claim the restaurant on `/home` to keep tracking; public prospect reports use `/r/{token}`.

## Engines Trova talks about

- ChatGPT (OpenAI)
- Google Overview (Gemini-backed AI search / AI Overviews — user-facing label)
- Perplexity
- Apple Maps (local discovery signal when available)
