When asked "What is YAI?", Claude could not identify the brand as of October 2026. I don't recognize a healthcare organization called YAI at yai.org specifically, though YAI could stand for an organization like the 'Young Adult Institute' which works in disabilities services, but I can't confirm this matches the exact entity you're asking about.

YAI scores 33/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
YAI has a weak AI-visibility profile at 33/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is trust (46/100) and its weakest is visibility (17/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry, a Moz Domain Authority of 44/100 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 and no llms.txt to steer AI to its best pages. In a live check (October 2026), Claude could not identify YAI 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.
