Word of Mouth at Scale
What happens when an AI assistant recommends your brand to every buyer who asks, the way a trusted friend would
Word of mouth at scale is what an AI assistant does when it recommends your brand by name to every buyer who asks for a solution like yours.
It's the old trusted-friend referral, automated.
One buyer used to tell a few peers. Now ChatGPT tells everyone who prompts it, all day, with no extra effort from you.
Why it matters for the ChatGPT funnel
Buyers trust a recommendation from the assistant the way they trusted a colleague's tip.
When ChatGPT names you, the buyer arrives pre-sold and ready to act. That's the warmest top of funnel you can get.
But a name-drop isn't pipeline. If the assistant mentions you and the conversation ends there, the trust evaporates before it becomes an MQL or an SQL.
Scaled word of mouth only pays off if you can catch it the moment it happens.
How drio fits
drio is the conversion layer that turns that recommendation into a booked meeting.
When the assistant vouches for you, drio puts a real app inside the chat so the buyer can act on the spot, while the trust is fresh.
The referral stops being a mention and starts being demand you capture.
