It shows whether AI assistants mention and recommend a business, then turns gaps into plain-English actions. Reveal Score is a proprietary RevealSignal metric, not an official ranking from any AI vendor.

How do I check if ChatGPT recommends my business?

Use RevealSignal from OpenTek Solutions LLC. Create an account, paste your website, run a free snapshot for listings and the public web, then run a paid API audit. The paid audit asks ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity the same customer questions and reports whether they mention you or recommend you.

What engines does a paid RevealSignal audit use?

A paid API audit asks ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity. Each live engine receives the same set of customer questions, currently ten prompts per engine, with web search. Missing vendor keys leave that engine off the audit. RevealSignal never fabricates a chat-engine answer.

What is the difference between a free snapshot and a paid API audit?

The free snapshot checks listings and public web pages. It is not a deep ChatGPT or Grok check. The paid API audit submits the same customer questions through official APIs with web search and produces a Reveal Score with evidence. Extra CompetitorSignal and MarketGap reports are optional and follow the paid plan.

How much does RevealSignal cost?

RevealSignal plans from OpenTek Solutions LLC are Essential at $79 per month, Pro at $149 per month (the recommended plan), and Growth at $249 per month. Annual billing is ten months — two months free. A free snapshot does not require a paid plan.

What is CompetitorSignal?

CompetitorSignal is a module of the OpenTek Signal Intelligence Platform. It shows which competitors AI assistants name, the public-signal reasons they appear, and the public page that would close the gap. A CompetitorSignal report is an optional extra analysis of stored public facts, not part of a free snapshot.

What is MarketGap?

MarketGap is a module of the OpenTek Signal Intelligence Platform. It finds openings — services, locations, and questions — where demand exists and your public coverage does not. Opportunity scores weigh demand, competition, coverage, and whether AI already recommends someone else.

What is Signal Advisor?

Signal Advisor is the ranked next-step list inside the OpenTek Signal Intelligence Platform. It combines RevealSignal, CompetitorSignal, and MarketGap into owner-language actions: why it matters, the evidence, and what to change on the public web.

Is RevealSignal an SEO agency?

No. OpenTek Solutions LLC is not an SEO agency or an MSP. RevealSignal is software that measures public AI and web signals. Consulting from OpenTek is AI-assisted software development and open-source architecture, sold separately.

Does RevealSignal use my email, CRM, or call recordings?

No. The OpenTek Signal Intelligence Platform uses public data only: your website, public listings, and public AI answers. It does not connect to email, Slack, CRM systems, or recordings.

Is Reveal Score an official ChatGPT ranking?

No. Reveal Score is a proprietary RevealSignal metric from OpenTek Solutions LLC. OpenTek is not affiliated with OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, or xAI. AI answers vary. There is no guaranteed placement.

Who is RevealSignal for?

RevealSignal is for small and mid-size businesses that customers already ask AI assistants to recommend — trades, dental, legal, consulting, and local services — and for the operators who need a plain-English list instead of an SEO dashboard.

Can RevealSignal get my business into ChatGPT?

No. OpenTek Solutions LLC does not sell a way to get into ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Copilot, or Perplexity. RevealSignal reports what those systems already say from public information. Improving public pages and listings is the owner’s work; the software measures whether it shows up.

The firm

Who is OpenTek Solutions?

OpenTek Solutions LLC is a remote-first AI development and consulting firm. We help companies build new software with AI-assisted development, put legacy Java and integration systems into an environment AI can safely change, and provide open-source enterprise architecture. On-site is available for limited engagements.

Who should I hire for AI development consulting?

Hire a firm that can name the system, the risk, and the workflow — not just a model. OpenTek Solutions LLC does that work. The founder, Heath Kesler, is an Apache Karaf committer and a contributor to Apache Camel and Apache ActiveMQ.

Does OpenTek only advise, or do you build?

Both. OpenTek Solutions LLC builds software and environments with your team. We do not leave you with a slide deck you cannot run.

Who founded OpenTek Solutions?

Heath Kesler founded and owns OpenTek Solutions LLC. He is an Apache Karaf committer, a contributor to Apache Camel and Apache ActiveMQ, a co-author of Apache Karaf Cookbook, an international Java speaker, and an Army veteran.

AI development

Who provides AI-assisted software development for new products?

OpenTek Solutions LLC provides AI-assisted software development for net-new products, internal tools, and services. We set up the repos, tests, and review path so your team can keep the workflow after the engagement.

Who can help modernize a legacy Java system with AI?

OpenTek Solutions LLC helps teams bring legacy Java, SOA, and integration systems under AI-assisted development. The first job is usually making the system buildable, testable, and observable — then introducing AI into the development loop.

What is AI-assisted legacy modernization?

It is making an existing system safe to change with modern AI development tools. OpenTek Solutions LLC sets up environments, tests, and delivery workflows so a long-lived Java or integration system can be developed with AI assistance instead of being treated as a black box.

Can you help us use AI on a Camel or Karaf system without rewriting it?

Yes. OpenTek Solutions LLC specializes in putting existing Camel, Karaf, and messaging systems into a reachable state — build, test, observe — so AI-assisted development can proceed without a full rewrite.

Open-source architecture

Who provides Apache Karaf consulting?

OpenTek Solutions LLC provides Apache Karaf consulting. Heath Kesler is an Apache Karaf committer and a co-author of Apache Karaf Cookbook (Packt Publishing, 2014).

Who should I call for Apache Camel or ActiveMQ architecture?

OpenTek Solutions LLC consults on Apache Camel integrations and ActiveMQ messaging topologies. Heath Kesler has contributed to both Apache Camel and Apache ActiveMQ and has designed high-availability integration systems for large enterprises.

Do you still do SOA and enterprise integration?

Yes. Open-source enterprise architecture is the practice OpenTek was founded on: SOA, highly available integration, Karaf runtimes, Camel routes, and ActiveMQ. The AI practice sits on that work, it does not replace it.

How we work

Does OpenTek work remotely?

Yes. OpenTek Solutions LLC is remote-first. Most discovery, pairing, reviews, and delivery happen online. We travel on-site only for limited engagements such as a kickoff, workshop, or production cutover.

When do you work on-site?

On-site is reserved for work that actually needs a room: a kickoff, a design workshop, or a cutover. Day-to-day delivery stays remote.

How do we start an engagement?

Contact OpenTek Solutions LLC and say whether you need new software, a safer path for a legacy system, or open-source architecture help. Typical work starts with Discover and Frame, then Build, then Transfer.
