The service launched as a private beta this spring, and within minutes of opening access, Nimt.ai had secured its first paying customers. The company has now closed its first funding round, raising € 360.000 (SEK 4 million) in pre-seed capital from investors including Loop Capital and Skåne Ventures.

Nimt.ai automatically tracks how brands are mentioned across platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity. Users not only learn if and how they are visible, but also how they perform compared to competitors, including insights into which sources are shaping their visibility and that of their competitors.

“Ranking high on Google is no longer enough. The future of marketing is about influencing AI, not people,”

says Manuel Lemholt Berger, CEO and co-founder of Nimt.ai

The shift is already underway. According to Gartner, 25 percent of traditional search traffic is expected to migrate to AI search by next year. Yet most companies have no visibility into how they’re performing on AI platforms, let alone how to improve their presence.

“As AI starts not only answering questions and offering recommendations but also making decisions and even completing purchases, entire marketing teams will shift focus – from trying to influence people to influencing AI. What we’re seeing now is just the first wave of a much bigger shift,”

says Manuel Lemholt Berger.

The new funding will be used to publicly launch the platform and develop new features.

“From the moment we launched our private beta, we knew we had struck a nerve. After onboarding selected early users, we’re now opening up the platform more broadly, and soon we’ll launch a feature that helps companies actively boost their visibility on AI platforms, directly through Nimt.ai,”

says Manuel Lemholt Berger.

According to Gartner, traditional search is set to lose 25% of its users to AI platforms by 2026. Many businesses are already seeing sharp declines in traffic as internet user behavior shifts. One example is G2.com, one of the world’s largest software review sites, which has reportedly lost half of its traffic since ChatGPT launched.

Despite this, companies lack insight into how they are mentioned in AI-generated responses, how their visibility changes over time, and how they compare to competitors.

“As business owners, we realized we needed to understand how our visibility looked on AI platforms, and we weren’t alone. When we launched the first beta version, we got paying customers within minutes, from companies we had never even been in contact with before,”

says Manuel Lemholt Berger, co-founder of Nimt.ai.

Without spending any budget on advertising, hundreds of companies have already signed up for early access to the tool, ranging from global corporations and major SEO agencies to tech firms and advertising agencies. One reason for this is the viral traction the founders have gained on LinkedIn.

“Seeing how quickly companies were willing to pay for this service made it even clearer how massive the demand is. We are now preparing to open up the beta version to more businesses,”

continues Manuel.

Nimt.ai tracks AI visibility by showing how companies rank for key prompts, how frequently they are mentioned, and how their visibility compares to competitors. Getting started is easy—businesses simply enter their URL, and the rest is automated.

“Nimt.ai is global from day one. Whether you are a hyperlocal company in Malmö or a global brand, it works seamlessly and in any language. Soon, we will also launch a feature that helps companies increase their visibility on AI platforms,”

says Manuel.

“Marketing has always been about influencing people. Soon, AI will be the most important audience for companies to influence. We believe entire marketing departments will be dedicated to ensuring AI platforms choose their brand, and we want to be the go-to tool to make that happen. To take the lead in this space, we will need capital to scale both our product and our user base,”

says Manuel

Nimt.ai is part of Hetch’s accelerator in Helsingborg and has been invited to pitch at Skåne Capital Day on March 26, an event bringing together the most promising early-stage startups with insightful investors under one roof.
