Elmo is an MIT-licensed, self-hostable platform that tracks how ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Grok and Google AI Overviews cite or omit your brand — an AEO/GEO citation monitor positioned against Profound, Peec and Otterly. It is established, not a fresh drop: ~13 months old, 362 stars. It is open-core: the self-hostable MIT core is real and active, and a paid Elmo Cloud ($29/mo) and white-label exist alongside it.
AEO/GEO — whether AI answer engines cite your brand — is becoming a monitored channel the way search rank once was, and most tools that watch it (Profound, Peec, Otterly) are paid, hosted monitors. Elmo's angle is to be that monitor as an owned, self-hosted stack: track how ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Grok and Google AI Overviews cite or omit you, on infrastructure you run. For a GTM team that wants AEO/GEO visibility without renting it, that owned option is the draw, and at ~13 months and 362 stars this is a mature project, not a fresh drop — the most established tool in this batch. The honest read: it is open-core, so a paid Elmo Cloud ($29/mo) and white-label sit alongside the free self-hostable core — confirm which features are in the MIT core before you plan around it. Pair-contrast: CiteRank in this same batch is the paid, zero-setup counterpart if you would rather not self-host.
