SPEAKER_00

So, you know, Google search volume is dropping, right?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And I mean, millions of people are now just asking Chat GPT what to buy or what software to use.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, absolutely. It is a massive shift in how we find information.

SPEAKER_00

But here is the terrifying part for any brand. You have absolutely no idea if these AIs are recommending you or, you know, your competitors.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it is a complete blind spot right now.

SPEAKER_00

Right. So today, as always, we're looking at the AIAgenstore.ai website page to check out a marketing tool called Gage. They are on a mission to solve this exact blind spot with something they call generative visibility.

SPEAKER_01

Which is so critical because with users shifting from traditional search engines to asking AI directly, brands really need to know if they are even showing up in those synthesized hands.

SPEAKER_00

Exactly. I mean, if an AI doesn't know a brand exists, does it even exist to the modern consumer?

SPEAKER_01

Well, that is the exact problem Gage is tackling. It is a platform specifically built to monitor prompt responses daily.

SPEAKER_00

Daily. Oh wow. But I am looking at this list of models it tracks, and it is a lot.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it covers all the major LLMs Chat GPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. My first thought as a marketer is just pure panic. Optimizing for Google's algorithm used to be a full-time job. Monitoring five different AI brains sounds uh impossible without an army.

SPEAKER_01

Right. Doing it manually would be a nightmare. But Gage tracks your mention rates, citation rates, and even competitor advantages automatically.

SPEAKER_00

So it basically functions like a um a digital PR monitor for the AI brain.

SPEAKER_01

That is a great way to put it, actually. It is constantly checking the pulse of these LLMs.

SPEAKER_00

But you know, knowing you have a visibility problem is really only half the battle.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, for sure. Finding out you are invisible to Claude is terrifying, but just knowing that does not fix anything.

SPEAKER_00

Aaron Powell Right. Which brings me to a pretty big hesitation here. Does it actually do the heavy lifting for a busy marketer or just give them mortores? Because a blank spreadsheet of raw data is the last thing anyone needs.

SPEAKER_01

Nobody wants more chores, and that is where the platform introduces their AI assistant, which is called Ask Gage.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, and what does that do?

SPEAKER_01

It operates with a very high level of autonomy. So it does not just hand you data, it independently analyzes all that tracking data to prioritize recommendations for you.

SPEAKER_00

Aaron Powell Wait, really? Completely without manual intervention.

SPEAKER_01

Completely. And it goes way beyond just giving you advice. It actually features a built-in content engine.

SPEAKER_00

Aaron Ross Powell A content engine. Like it writes things.

SPEAKER_01

Aaron Ross Powell Yes. It creates articles optimized for both AI search and traditional search. So it takes you from just analyzing the problem straight into taking action.

SPEAKER_00

Aaron Powell Wait, but let me push back on that for a second. If Gage is an AI and it is writing AI optimized articles to feed back into other AIs like Gemini and Perplexity, are we just creating a loop?

SPEAKER_01

Aaron Powell It definitely sounds like a snake eating its own tail. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Trevor Burrus, Jr. I mean if AI content engines like Gage are optimizing articles specifically to be read and cited by other LLMs, are we approaching an internet where AIs are just talking to AIs?

SPEAKER_01

Aaron Powell It's a wild thought, right? You are structuring the data for the machine so it can serve the human.

SPEAKER_00

But it feels like we are bypassing the human reader entirely until the very last second of the transaction. Definitely something for you to ponder.

SPEAKER_01

It is a profound shift, for sure.
