Sentiments
See whether AI answers talk about your brand in a positive, neutral or negative way, with recommendations for each.
3 min read Updated
What is it?
The Sentiments screen shows the tone AI answers use about your brand. You find it under AI Intelligence in your Prism sidebar. The screen says: "How AI models describe your brand — positive, neutral, or negative."
Sentiment means whether the answer sounds positive, neutral or negative about you.
Why use it?
- To find answers that describe your brand badly.
- To learn what AI tools think are your strengths and weaknesses.
- To get ideas for content that changes how you are described.
Before you start
You need an LLM project with answers for the selected date.

Understanding the screen
Sentiment Distribution
"Based on AI-generated descriptions of your brand". The header shows the total, for example 50 total prompts.
There is one bar each for ✅ Positive, ⚪ Neutral and ❌ Negative. Each bar shows the number of prompts and its %. Under each bar is a recommendation: the most common strategic implication for that sentiment. When there is none, Prism shows these defaults:
| Sentiment | Default recommendation |
|---|---|
| Positive | Reinforce with more success stories & case studies |
| Neutral | Add opinionated, concrete content to shift neutral → positive |
| Negative | Address pricing & trust objections with targeted content |

Understanding the data
Sentiment
Whether an AI answer talks about your brand in a Positive, Neutral or Negative way.
Appears in: AI Intelligence → Sentiments
Each bar's % = answers with that sentiment ÷ all answers that have a sentiment, for your filters. Prism checks each prompt on each platform on its own, so one prompt can be counted once per platform. That is why the counts are labelled prompts but can be higher than your number of prompts.
Example
For example, the distribution shows 20 positive, 25 neutral and 5 negative prompts. You click Negative. Three answers on one platform say your product is expensive. The Strategic Implications column points to pricing. You click View → to read one answer in full. Then you write a clear pricing comparison page and check the screen again on a later date.
Tips
- Read negative answers in full with View →.
- Neutral answers are a chance to give AI tools more concrete facts about you.
- See Reading an AI answer for the answer pop-up.
