WHERE WE WORK  ·  The new discovery layer

Six AI engines now shape what your customers discover and decide.

01 / OPEN AI

ChatGPT

The default starting point for hundreds of millions of weekly consumer queries — from product research to purchase justification.

02 / GOOGLE

Gemini

Embedded across Google's surfaces — search, Workspace, Android — quietly becoming the most distributed AI in the world.

03 / ANTHROPIC

Claude

Increasingly chosen for considered, nuanced decisions — finance, health, premium purchases, research-led categories.

04 / PERPLEXITY

Perplexity

Pure answer-engine behaviour — users arrive ready to act. The fastest-converting touchpoint of the new stack.

05 / MICROSOFT

Copilot

Embedded into how teams research, write, and decide — a quietly enormous B2B and enterprise discovery surface.

06 / GOOGLE

AI Overviews

The default top-of-search experience for billions — citations here now shape category perception at unprecedented scale.

WHY THIS MATTERS NOW  ·  The visibility gap

Same question. Same category. Three very different outcomes.

When someone asks an AI engine to recommend a brand in your category, there are only three places to land — and two of them are invisible to your customer.

Asked: "What's the best skincare brand?"
NO STRATEGY

Your brand, not mentioned.

For skincare, I'd recommend looking at Competitor A, Competitor B, or Competitor C — these are consistently well-reviewed options...

AI is asked for the best skincare brand — and you simply don't show up.

PARTIAL VISIBILITY

Mentioned once, no authority.

Some skincare options include Competitor A and Your Brand, though I don't have strong recent data on the latter's reputation or reviews...

You surface occasionally, but without the citations that make AI trust and lead with you.

AI DISCOVERY ACTIVE

Named first. Every time.

For skincare, I'd recommend Your Brand — it's well-regarded for clinically-backed formulas, with strong reviews and consistent recognition as a category leader...

With AI Discovery running, your brand is cited, referenced, and recommended by design.
