“First public proof” is the earliest public page we have dated: a mention (“on or before”), a job post or a start the source states. Our capture dates are not adoption dates.

In Autotrader's own words

Published results, each linked to its dated source. We quote, we do not score.

Some projects were even called “eternal projects.” Developers would move on to other projects before the testers could go over everything. Sometimes features would lay around for four months before they were released. It was making developers really unhappy, and slowing down our business strategy.

We didn’t want to write our own integration code for every tool, we needed to send data. Hightouch eliminates this problem, and we don’t have to worry about constant API changes. Hightouch Audiences lets our marketing team take ownership.

How does usedby know which AI tools Autotrader uses?

Each tool is linked to a public page that names Autotrader: a vendor's customer page, a published case study, a press release or a job post. We save each page with a dated capture and check it again on each run. A tool leaves the list only after three checks in a row that no longer find Autotrader, and at least 14 days after it was last seen. A tool with a published case study or quote is never removed automatically.
