What Lectern does
Lectern works in three steps: measure, plan, execute. First it measures how often your brand is recommended across the six major AI models for the topics your buyers actually ask about. Then it turns that visibility report into an execution plan, a ranked set of content to publish on your own site and placements to earn on outside outlets. Then it does the work: it drafts the onsite content, secures the offsite placements on credible publishers that AI models cite, and reports progress back to you. The goal is simple. When someone asks an AI assistant for the best option in your category, your brand should be in the answer.
Who builds Lectern
Lectern is built by the team behind Presscart, a media marketplace trusted by 2,000+ marketers and founders that has delivered 5,000+ PR placements. That background is the reason the publisher network and the placement side of Lectern already work: getting brands covered by real outlets is the job Presscart has done for years. Lectern applies that same muscle to a newer problem, being recommended by AI assistants instead of only ranking in search. The company is part of Waverly Ventures LLC and is based in New York, NY.
How we work
Lectern fits into the tools you already use. Approvals and updates flow through email, Slack, or Teams, so you sign off on content and placements without logging into another dashboard every day. The work stays accountable because the measurement is public. Our report catalogue shows the verbatim answers AI models give, compared across providers, so you can see exactly what each engine says about a topic and which brands it names. Nothing about how an AI recommends a brand is hidden behind a score you have to trust.
Why we publish our reports publicly
AI answers change, and most tools ask you to take their word for what an engine said. We would rather show you. Every public report at /reports captures the actual answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, and Meta AI side by side, including which sources they cite and which brands they recommend. Publishing them in the open keeps us honest and gives anyone, customer or not, a real look at how AI talks about a category before deciding whether the problem is worth solving. Transparency is the product, not a marketing line.
