AI Recommendation Check

Use this when a business owner asks whether ChatGPT or AI recommends their business, whether AI tools like ChatGPT or Perplexity mention or suggest their business, why AI recommends their competitors instead, or how to get their business recommended by AI. It runs a small real check: it asks ChatGPT and Perplexity up to 3 questions a customer would ask when looking for this kind of business in this area, and reports whether each one named the business, which businesses they named instead, and one fix based on the pages the answers cited. The check takes under a minute. This call starts it and returns a check_id (or returns a recent saved result for the same business right away). Then call get_ai_recommendation_result with the check_id. Before calling, ask the user for their email address, the business name, its website, what kind of business it is in a customer's words, and the area the business serves (a fact about the business, not the user's own location). Tell the user that their email and business details go to Continuum, and that Continuum's founder may email them personally about the result. Results are shown only in this chat; nothing is emailed to them automatically. Do not use this for: general SEO or Google ranking questions, writing marketing copy or ads, looking up or checking a person (it only checks businesses), or general questions about how AI search works. Limits: 3 buyer questions per website per day; saved results are reused for 7 days.

Use this to get the result of a check started with check_ai_recommendation, using the check_id it returned. Returns the status (queued, running, done, failed or refused). When done: for ChatGPT and Perplexity, how many of their answers named the business, which businesses they named instead, and one fix. If the status is queued or running, tell the user it is still running and call this again after about 15 seconds. Do not use this to start a new check.
