askround
People ask assistants which tool to use, and the makers never see the answer. askround asks OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic and Perplexity the same question through their APIs, with web search, several times each, and reports how many runs named your product, at which position, the rivals beside it and what was claimed, each fact traced to its passage. Its MCP server lets a coding agent ask them itself.

All 43 entries →- AR43 · d8e135cThe site is not built to be read by assistants, and askround never measures whether they name askround itself
The site ships a checked llms.txt and JSON-LD, and shows askround's own dated round: named by no assistant yet.
- AR42 · 3205896There are no docs pages: install, a first session in Claude Code, the MCP tools and the CLI reference live nowhere
site/docs builds the docs at /askround/docs/, its MCP and CLI reference generated from the package.
- AR41 · ad343d5Nothing builds and deploys the site when it changes
site.yml deploys the site to Pages; alegauss.github.io/askround/, its docs and llms.txt answer 200.
- AR40 · 6e4b939askround has no public site: nowhere to see what a round reports, install it or read the docs
site/ prerenders the page at /askround/ with a real recorded round; Lighthouse scores 100.
- AR38 · 32beff6askround is not wired into a project the way roadkeep is: one install that every clone and every surface gets
The plugin, askround install and a vendored copy for the web wire every clone.
- AR37 · 647a056Nothing measures how many tokens each MCP response costs the agent, so outputs grow unnoticed
Every MCP tool's response is counted on the recorded rounds against a budget in budgets/mcp-tokens.json, and askround_run returns one brief per question.
- AR36 · 7d06a8cAn agent asking the same question again the same day pays for the same round twice
A question asked again the same way within the day returns the stored round with its age and calls no provider; --fresh asks anew, and a round with failures is asked again.
- AR35 · bf4c5d6A round takes minutes of searched calls, longer than an MCP call should block the agent
With background: true a round or set starts as a job and returns at once with its estimate; askround_job reads its progress and result, and each answer is kept as it lands.
