Map AI Prompts

Workflow contract for discovering buyer prompts, question clusters, and tracking prompts from market data signals.

Overview

Workflow endpoints run their primitives in parallel and return each primitive's full output, labeled per source. Pricing is calculated from the primitives that ran successfully plus the selected model rates: failed or skipped steps are not charged.

Parameters

`topic`required	string	Market, product category, buyer problem, or audience to map prompts for.
`audience`optional	string	Optional target audience or ICP.
`brand`optional	string	Optional brand/domain to include in prompt tracking recommendations.
`competitors`optional	string[]	Competitor brands/domains to include in comparison prompts.
`country`optional	string	ISO-2 country code for localized SEO keyword data. Default: `"us"`.
`timeframe`optional	string	Trend window for demand checks. Default: `"past_12_months"`.
`models`optional	array of enum (chatgpt \| claude \| perplexity \| gemini \| google_ai_overview)	Optional model subset. Omit to query the default surfaces (chatgpt, perplexity, gemini). Pass ["perplexity"] or ["perplexity","claude"] when the user names specific surfaces or wants to reduce cost. The full set is chatgpt, claude, perplexity, gemini, google_ai_overview — to query all of them, set fullSweep instead of listing them.
`fullSweep`optional	boolean	Query all five AI surfaces instead of the three default ones, adding claude and google_ai_overview. Costs more per call. Use it when the user wants complete cross-model coverage, is comparing surfaces against each other, or asks specifically about Claude or Google AI Overviews. Ignored when models is given.
