SaaS companies lack a reliable way to know whether AI assistants understand, position, and recommend their product, and must juggle content clarity, topical relevance to real user questions, and third-party authority signals to improve it. Existing attempts to measure this "AI visibility" are early, manual, and founder-built rather than mature tooling.
