Live results from asking a general-purpose AI assistant about the brand, checked October 2026.
When asked "What is e-sword?", Claude could not identify the brand as of October 2026. I don't recognize this specific e-sword.jp company or what it sells, likely because it's a small or regional Japanese e-commerce site with limited international presence or because I'm confusing it with the unrelated e-Sword Bible study software.

e-sword scores 25/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
e-sword has a weak AI-visibility profile at 25/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is recommendation likelihood (48/100) and its weakest is visibility (15/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry and open access for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.). The main gaps holding it back: no clear Wikipedia entity to anchor it in LLM training data, a low Moz Domain Authority of 30/100 and thin schema.org structured data. In a live check (October 2026), Claude could not identify e-sword from memory, confirming the gaps above.
The score combines seven dimensions - name quality, digital presence, visual identity, messaging clarity, trust foundation, AI discoverability, and brand authority - into a single objective benchmark.
