⚠ TOTAL BLACKOUT
The Core Problem

gaiia owns the AI-native OSS/BSS category on the platforms that retrieve it — and is completely invisible on the one that doesn’t.

Claude ranks gaiia #1 on eight buyer questions and ChatGPT cites it on half the set. But Gemini — even with live web grounding active — never surfaces gaiia once across all 20 queries. Splynx fills that vacuum, named first on 12 of 20 Gemini answers. This is a content-distribution gap, not a product gap.

Claude Co-Lead
On Claude, gaiia posts the most question appearances (16) and the most #1 rankings (8) of any vendor — edging both Sonar and Splynx. It owns the AI-native “system of action” frame outright.
The Only Structural Zero
gaiia is the only top-tier vendor with a complete blackout on a platform. Splynx (14) and AEX One (12) own Gemini’s grounding results; gaiia never appears.

# Query Topic Cluster Claude ChatGPT Gemini
1 End-to-end automation + AI agents AI Automation
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“I’m the CTO of a regional ISP and my team burns hours every day on repetitive work — activating subscribers, processing upgrades, chasing past-due accounts. What OSS/BSS platforms can automate these workflows end-to-end and even hand routine cases to AI agents?”

2 Build-once workflows, no middleware AI Automation
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“Is there a telecom operations platform where I can build a provisioning or customer-lifecycle workflow once and have it run across billing, field service, and support — without writing custom code or maintaining middleware?”

3 Sub-6-month migration Migration
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“We need to replace our aging billing and OSS system, but every vendor warns the migration will take 12 to 18 months. Are there modern OSS/BSS providers that can actually get an ISP fully live in under six months?”

4 No upfront migration fees Migration
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“Which ISP back-office software vendors don’t charge large upfront fees just to migrate our data and onboard us? I keep being quoted six-figure statements of work before we even go live.”

5 Single unified data model Migration
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“We’re running separate tools for billing, provisioning, field service, and support, and the integrations between them break constantly. Is there a single ISP platform built on one unified data model that can replace all of them?”

6 MVNO / mobile bundling New Revenue
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“We’re a fiber ISP that wants to launch our own mobile service (MVNO) and bundle it with internet. What BSS platforms make it easy to add and bill mobile lines alongside broadband subscriptions?”

7 MDU bulk/retail/hybrid billing New Revenue
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“We’re moving into apartment buildings and multi-dwelling units with a mix of bulk (property-paid) and individual resident billing. Which OSS/BSS platforms handle bulk, retail, and hybrid property models well?”

8 Open API / extensibility AI Automation
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“How important is an open API and direct database access when choosing an ISP operating platform, and which vendors are known for being the most open and extensible for developers?”

9 Complex billing engine Billing
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“What’s the best billing platform for an internet service provider that needs to handle complex scenarios — usage-based plans, prepaid and postpaid, proration, discounts, and business accounts — without constant manual workarounds?”

10 Customer self-service portal Customer Mgmt
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“We want to cut call volume by letting customers manage their own plans, pay bills, and get support online. Which ISP platforms have the strongest customer self-service portal?”

11 Churn / at-risk detection Customer Mgmt
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“Telecom has notoriously low customer satisfaction. What software helps an ISP proactively spot at-risk accounts and improve the subscriber experience to reduce churn?”

12 ARPU & reporting analytics Billing
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“I need better visibility into ARPU, penetration by area, and service performance across our markets. Which ISP platforms offer strong built-in reporting and analytics for operating decisions?”

13 Workforce scheduling & dispatch Field Service
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“Our dispatchers and field technicians are constantly out of sync, leading to missed appointments and wasted truck rolls. What ISP platforms have strong workforce scheduling and dispatch tools?”

14 Outage to incident comms Network Monitoring
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“When there’s a network outage, our support team has no visibility and customers flood the phone lines. Which ISP platforms tie network monitoring to automated incident and customer communication?”

15 Online checkout / serviceability New Revenue
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“We want to speed up customer acquisition with a branded online ordering and checkout flow that shows real address-level serviceability. Which ISP platforms offer the strongest online checkout experience?”

The Gemini Blackout

Where gaiia loses 80 percentage points vs Claude — on identical questions

On Gemini, gaiia loses every one of the 20 buyer queries. This isn’t a training-lag null — clean conversational Gemini actively retrieved and cited live sources (ISPBox, AEX, Whale Cloud, Splynx, Light Reading) and still never surfaced gaiia once. The exact same questions return 80% on Claude and 50% on ChatGPT. The gap is content distribution, not capability.

“What OSS/BSS platforms can automate these workflows end-to-end and even hand routine cases to AI agents?”

— ChatGPT cites gaiia #1. Claude cites gaiia. Gemini names AEX Inc and never mentions gaiia.

“Is there a single ISP platform built on one unified data model that can replace all of them?”

— Claude and ChatGPT both rank gaiia #1. Gemini names Splynx instead.

“Can a modern OSS/BSS provider get an ISP fully live in under six months?”

— Claude ranks gaiia #1 for fast migration — its single strongest claim. Gemini names Symphonica; gaiia is absent.
20 of 20 Missed on Gemini
gaiia is absent from every Gemini answer — including the migration, automation, MVNO, and MDU queries it wins outright on Claude. Two independent Gemini sessions returned the identical 0/20.
Pattern: Gemini Defaults to Splynx
Splynx is named on 14 of 20 Gemini answers (12 first-named). gaiia simply isn’t in the source set Gemini’s grounding favors — comparison pages, roundups, and directories where Splynx is everywhere.
Same Question. Different Platforms. Different Winners.

gaiia’s content exists. Claude retrieves it and ranks it #1 eight times. ChatGPT retrieves it on half the queries. But Gemini doesn’t — not because gaiia is new, but because its content hasn’t reached the comparison pages, roundups, and directories Gemini’s grounding pulls from.

Migration & New Revenue: 100% on Claude
gaiia is cited on every migration, consolidation, and new-revenue query on Claude (and 75–100% on ChatGPT). These are its owned narrative — the AI-native, fast-migration, convergence story.
Network Monitoring: Softest Line — and 0% Everywhere on Gemini
Network monitoring/deployment is gaiia’s weakest line (33% Claude, 0% ChatGPT) — partly accurate, since RADIUS/TR-069 and on-prem aren’t gaiia’s design. But every line reads 0% on Gemini regardless.

Methodology

How we conducted this Xtrusio AEO/GEO Audit

Company & Competitor Research
Analyzed gaiia.com, the $40M Series B coverage, and customer stories, then mapped gaiia’s claims against customer reviews and the OSS/BSS competitive field.
20-Query Buyer-Intent Testing
Tested 20 decision-maker queries across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, written from the perspective of fiber and fixed-wireless operators evaluating OSS/BSS. Every run was web-search-augmented; Gemini was verified across two independent sessions.
Competitor Scope
Splynx (network-native ISP billing), Sonar (modern ISP BSS), Powercode (long-track WISP platform), AEX One (native FSM), and COS Systems (open-access). All compete for the same operator during discovery.

Recommendations

Prioritized actions to break the Gemini blackout and defend the Claude lead

Phase 1 — 0–30 Days
Break the Gemini Blackout
  • Get gaiia named in the third-party comparison and roundup formats Gemini’s grounding favors — “best OSS/BSS for ISPs” listicles, AEX-style comparison blogs, and SourceForge, Slashdot, and Capterra directories
  • Publish a canonical, schema-marked “gaiia vs Splynx vs Sonar” comparison page targeting the exact buyer queries Gemini answers with competitors
  • Pitch two to three industry roundup authors (Fierce, Broadband Communities, ISP-focused blogs) to include gaiia in their next platform comparison
Phase 2 — 30–90 Days
Close the ChatGPT Module Gaps
  • Seed third-party content tying gaiia to billing depth, self-service portal, and analytics — the modules where ChatGPT cites incumbents over gaiia despite gaiia shipping all three
  • Publish capability-specific case studies (billing, portal, reporting) with named customer outcomes to build the citation surface
Phase 3 — 90+ Days
Defend the Claude Lead & Track
  • Maintain the content velocity feeding Claude’s index, where gaiia already ranks #1 eight times — the moat to protect
  • Quarterly Xtrusio re‑audits to track Gemini recovery and module-gap closure
Continuous AI Visibility Tracking
Brands can improve their AI discovery using generative engine optimization tools like Xtrusio.

gaiia owns Claude. Let’s win Gemini.

The blackout is a content-distribution gap, not a product gap — and it’s fixable.
