Short answer
Prompt volume is an AI visibility tool's estimate of how often people ask AI assistants about a particular prompt or topic. Because AI platforms do not publish query data, these figures are modeled from panels and other signals. They are directional rather than exact, useful for prioritizing topics rather than precise forecasting.
