After Reaching $5 Million Run Rate, VOSU Introduces Marketplace Connecting Brands With Proven AI Creators
VOSU , an AI creative platform built by working creators for creators and businesses, today announced the introduction of VOSU Marketplace, a specialized talent marketplace connecting brands with professional generative-media creators. The announcement follows the company's reported $5 million annualized revenue run rate. Through the marketplace, brands can identify creators suited to commercial projects, while creators can build professional identities around their work and access paid opportunities. The marketplace answers a problem the founders saw from both sides. Brands now have access to increasingly capable AI models but struggle to find people who understand storytelling, cinematography, creative direction, prompting, model selection and editing well enough to deliver a finished campaign. Creators, meanwhile, have those skills but few dependable routes to commercial work. As co-founder Simone Ferretti puts it, models are becoming abundant while taste, storytelling and reliable execution remain scarce, so the next creative platform to matter will be the one that helps creators use the right tools and helps businesses find the right people. VOSU is approaching that gap from its existing generative-media production environment, bringing creative work and professional opportunities into the same ecosystem. "We did not build VOSU because the world needed another list of AI models," said Sebastien Jefferies, co-founder of VOSU. "We built it because creators needed a better way to turn ideas into professional work, and businesses needed a reliable way to find the people capable of delivering it." Creators are the soul of VOSU. Because the founders are full-time creators themselves, they understand creators' frustrations better than anyone, and every VOSU decision, from its pay-as-you-go model and non-expiring credits to reusable workflows and the talent marketplace, begins with a real problem they or their community have experienced. Anyone can begin creating with as little as $1, users are never required to purchase a monthly subscription, purchased credits never reset or expire, and teams can invite unlimited members into a workspace without paying additional per-seat fees. That approach has taken the company to profitability while remaining fully bootstrapped, and large brands are now approaching VOSU directly to find specialized AI talent for advertisements, product campaigns, short films and cinematic content. VOSU plans to expand its creator network, marketplace infrastructure and tools for businesses commissioning generative-media projects, while continuing to develop its creative agents and reusable workflows as AI video creation becomes part of a wider range of commercial productions. VOSU does not believe that AI will replace creative people. AI can accelerate production, expand possibilities and remove technical barriers, but it cannot replace human imagination, emotion, taste, storytelling or purpose. The technology may change every month, but the person behind it will always matter most. Nafis Faysal, co-founder of VOSU, describes the mission as removing everything that limits creators rather than removing creators from the process. The long-term goal is building a global home for generative-media creators where talent can be discovered, careers can be built and every strong idea has the chance to become real. About VOSU VOSU is an AI creative platform built for professional creators, production teams and businesses working with generative media. Founded by creators Sebastien Jefferies, Simone Ferretti and Nafis Faysal, the company combines creative software and a talent marketplace within an ecosystem designed around real-world creative workflows.

Spek launches self-learning ASO agents that research the market boosting app discoverability
Spek is introducing self-learning ASO agents designed to turn app market research into an ongoing strategy for growth on the App Store. Rather than treating keyword selection as a one-time task, Spek innovates with agents examining where an app can realistically compete and using that research to guide their next update. As visibility and rankings change, the process is designed to carry what the app learns into the next decision. App Store visibility requires repeated choices about which opportunities are worth pursuing, not just an initial set of keywords. Spek’s approach to app store optimization begins with research into a market and its competitive landscape before narrowing the field to opportunities for a particular app. The company says its analysis can cover thousands of keywords in a market, a scale intended to make the eventual choice more selective rather than simply broader. “Picking a keyword is the easy part. The hard part is knowing why that keyword makes sense for this app, in this market, right now,” said Alptekin Can of Spek. “If the results change, the next decision should change with them. Otherwise, you’re just repeating the same research and hoping for a different outcome.” Spek’s website says the company helps more than 500 apps grow since launch. Its published description of the agents spans market research and the preparation of app updates, placing the announcement within an offering already presented to app developers. The proposed introduction focuses on what happens across successive decisions: research informs an update strategy, and the app’s subsequent visibility and ranking results provide context for what to examine next. That continuing cycle is the distinction Spek wants to bring to app growth. The longer-term question for Spek is how much more useful each decision can become when an agent retains the context of earlier research and performance. As app markets shift, the company’s focus is on making those observations part of the next round of App Store growth decisions, rather than leaving developers to restart their research after every update. That gives the introduction a measure beyond the volume of keywords examined: whether each cycle helps an app make a more informed choice about where to compete. About Spek Spek is an app growth platform powered by self-learning ASO agents. Combining algorithms with AI, Spek analyzes thousands of keywords, studies competitors, and plans each app’s next move. Its agents continuously monitor performance and adapt their strategy, helping developers grow their apps while spending less time on manual research.

Killcam.gg Launches Automated Highlight Clipping Service for Counter-Strike 2 Players
A new web-based service has been introduced to automatically generate video clips from Counter-Strike 2 matches without requiring players to record or edit footage themselves. Killcam.gg processes match data to identify and clip notable plays from each game. The platform operates through Steam authentication, allowing users to connect their accounts and have their match history analyzed automatically. The service retrieves demo files from completed matches and generates video clips of selected plays without manual intervention from the user. Under the free tier, the platform clips the top play from each match at 1080p 30fps or 720p 60fps resolution. Each clip is rendered in both 16:9 and 9:16 aspect ratios and can be downloaded as an MP4 file or shared via link. The service applies a watermark to free-tier clips. A paid subscription tier, priced at $4.99 monthly or $39.99 annually, extends the automatic clipping to the top three plays per match and allows users to manually select any kill from their matches for clipping. Paid subscribers receive access to 4K 60fps rendering, removal of watermarks, and additional visual presentation styles. The subscription also includes three weekly uses of an enhanced rendering option. The platform offers multiple visual presentation modes that apply different editing treatments to the raw gameplay footage, including options that add slow-motion effects, alternative camera angles, or stylized visual effects. Users can select these treatments on a per-clip basis or set a default preference. Players who include the service's name in their Steam username or clan tag receive promotional access to certain paid features, earning credits toward higher-resolution clips without watermarks for each match played. The service is designed exclusively for Counter-Strike 2 and does not support other games. According to developer nath , the platform launched with the stated goal of addressing the issue of notable gameplay moments remaining inaccessible in unprocessed demo files. The paid subscription tier is currently listed as unavailable on the platform's website, with only the free tier accepting new users at this time. About Killcam.gg Killcam.gg is a web-based automated video clipping service for Counter-Strike 2 players. The platform processes match demo files to generate shareable highlight clips.

Marlabs Wins 2026 ISG Paragon Transformation Award for gategroup Implementation
Marlabs , a leading AI consulting and transformation provider, today announced it won the 2026 ISG Paragon Standout Award for Exceptional Individual Contribution in the Transformation category for its work with gategroup , a leading airline catering and onboard retail company. The Paragon Awards honor client-validated case studies in the business services and technology sourcing industry. The Transformation category recognizes the fundamental transformation of an organization or a key business function, and every nomination must be validated by the client before it is considered. Airline catering operates in a highly complex, time-sensitive environment: millions of meals, hundreds of kitchens, thousands of ingredients, 24/7 operations in a regulated environment where allergen control and special-meal compliance are mission-critical. Marlabs and gategroup rebuilt how airline menus are developed, replacing the legacy SACS-based workflow of copy-paste assembly and spreadsheet tracking with a single, AI-enabled digital workspace. The work began with stakeholder interviews and design-thinking workshops with gategroup’s chefs, commercial teams and procurement, then moved into a sprint-based build. The platform reads inbound airline briefs across multiple file types, extracts the requirements and generates a complete first-draft menu spanning every dish category, cycle, class and service. The change has been felt in the kitchen. Chefs now work in one workspace with version history, live collaboration and role-based dashboards, spending less time assembling documents and more on culinary craft and the passenger experience. Commercial leaders benefit from greater visibility into active menus across the organization, and standardized workflows and unified data models are replacing location-specific spreadsheets across gategroup’s global footprint. Built-in AI detection flags potential allergen and special-meal issues, and AI-generated menus remain subject to review and approval by culinary and commercial teams. “Innovation cannot come at the cost of stability,” said Sandro Bregante, CIO of gategroup. “Marlabs has been a trusted technology partner for nearly two decades, bringing a deep understanding of our business and operational requirements. Their safety-first approach, built on clear governance, robust policies, appropriate guardrails, and human oversight, was exactly what we needed in a business where allergen control and special-meal compliance leave no room for error. By streamlining manual processes, the platform allows our teams to spend more time focusing on menu quality, culinary creativity and the passenger experience.” WATCH: Fireside Chat with Thomas Collins and Sandro Bregante “This is what transformation looks like when it holds up over years, not quarters,” said Thomas Collins, CEO of Marlabs. “We did not hand gategroup a dashboard and walk away. We rebuilt how a global operation develops passenger menus, then kept engineering against it as the business changed. Winning a Paragon Award matters because the client validates the case study. gategroup’s team experienced these results firsthand.” About Marlabs Marlabs is your trusted AI consulting and transformation partner with 30 years of experience solving modern challenges with a proven track record of delivering complex technology solutions to Fortune 500 clients across financial services, life sciences and healthcare, manufacturing, telecom, media, technology, and other industries.

Snowstorms.ca Launches Ontario-Wide Local Weather Platform Ahead of Winter
Snowstorms.ca has launched a new Ontario-wide local weather platform designed to make it easier for people across the province to access local weather forecasts, conditions, alerts, and educational weather information in one place. The launch introduces dedicated weather pages for municipalities across Ontario, providing location-specific weather information including current conditions, temperatures, forecasts, and other relevant weather data. A spokesperson from Snowstorms said the following: “We want people to be able to get the most up-to-date information about weather conditions in their area, especially in Ontario, which is famous for extreme cold conditions in the winter and excessive heat in the summer. Users can explore weather across various vectors, including snow and ice levels, rain conditions, heat conditions, visibility conditions and so on. It's all designed to give them a heads-up and what’s coming next.” The launch comes ahead of the 2026–27 Canadian winter season and represents the first major phase in the development of Snowstorms.ca as a broader Canadian weather resource. Ontario is the initial focus of the local weather platform. However, Snowstorms.ca plans to continue expanding its weather coverage and educational resources over time, with the long-term goal of providing useful weather information for communities across Canada. The extent of information on the website is already significant. Users can learn about the science of the weather in Ontario, the safety issues that might affect them in the future (including what to do in a whiteout), and get detailed information on how weather forecasting works (including its limitations). It's also possible to read more about historic winter storms that have affected the region. For example, Snowstorms details the Blizzard of 1977, which was one of the most severe winter storms in southern Ontario's history. Occurring between January 28 and 31 that year, powerful winds led to whiteout conditions and snowdrifts across the Niagara Peninsula and many people found themselves isolated, and thousands of motorists were stuck on the road. The 2011 Groundhog Day blizzard was another significant event, running from January 31 to February 3. It's widely regarded as the largest and most disruptive winter storm in North American history, leading to widespread travel disruption all the way from Texas to Atlantic Canada. These extreme events highlight the importance of an Ontario-specific platform like Snowstorms.ca that can provide local people with critical weather-related information ahead of the winter season.

Sovereign by Design: Why Paradyne AI Built Advanced AI Solutions to Be Owned, Not Rented
The frontier laboratories are advancing what AI models can do. For the organizations putting those models to work, a second question becomes more consequential with every advance: how should the complete system be built so that greater capability remains useful, controllable, and economically sustainable? Paradyne AI made that question foundational. Its strategy anticipated that serious enterprise adoption would bring demands that model performance alone could not satisfy: ownership, bounded authority, predictable operating arrangements, protection of proprietary information, and hardware matched to the actual workload. The current debates about rogue agents, service dependence, and data use bring those requirements into sharper focus. They also explain the strategic judgment behind Paradyne’s architecture. The company was already building its sovereign solutions around the conditions organizations encounter when AI moves into consequential work. For Alam Jamal, CEO of Paradyne AI, that judgment comes from an operational view of technology shaped by defense intelligence and Special Operations. A powerful capability has to work within the mission’s constraints. Someone must be able to authorize its actions, inspect its results, sustain its infrastructure, and account for what it did. In Paradyne AI’s previous discussion of bounded systems, Jamal stated the premise plainly: “AI is a powerful tool.” He continued: “It is not an oracle, and it is not a colleague.” The Las Vegas–based company translated that premise into a delivery model: custom AI solutions built alongside their supporting hardware, with the delivered weights, infrastructure, data, and audit trail in the client’s hands. Its sovereign enterprise systems run inside the client’s environment without a runtime cloud dependency, vendor telemetry, or a per-token meter. Agent authority is bound before deployment. The foresight lies in recognizing which requirements would endure as models improved. More capable agents would need enforceable limits. Greater usage would make compute economics more important. Deeper access to organizational knowledge would make control of that knowledge more consequential. Paradyne’s founding choices address those pressures together. That is the basis for confidence in its direction: an engineering strategy built around the long-term demands of operating AI, carried forward as the technology changes. Sovereignty Establishes the Perimeter. Governance Bounds the Action. An AI agent’s practical reach comes from the tools, credentials, information, and network connections available to it. A model’s ability to propose an action does not have to include permission to execute it. Paradyne’s sovereign approach addresses that reach at two levels. Air-gapped operation removes the live network route to external services. Bounded-agent governance restricts the actions available inside the environment. Both matter: a locally hosted system still needs controls over what it can do to local information and systems. Marquis, Paradyne AI’s bounded-agent governance layer, places agents within deterministic state machines: models can inform a transition, but they do not own the control flow. Each agent has a defined permission envelope, with human approval at consequential steps. Actions are logged with their inputs, outputs, and model version. Signed offline packages provide the update path for the disconnected environment. This is how Paradyne addresses the concern behind the phrase “unbounded AI.” Its sovereign design excludes open-ended authority and unrestricted external reach. The operating boundary is established before the capability is fielded, then maintained as the system evolves. As agents gain capability, these controls become more consequential. Paradyne’s approach makes the authority boundary an enduring requirement: future models and integrations must operate within it and pass evaluation before entering the deployed system. Increased capability does not confer increased permission. The Organization Should Outlast Its AI Stack Paradyne AI designs systems so organizations can adapt to changing AI models without rebuilding their core workflows. The company works across retrieval models, language models, vision systems, and custom neural networks, selecting technologies based on specific operational requirements. Its AI Solutions Platform, AISP, provides a common foundation across workstation, appliance, and rack scale deployments. This approach helps preserve institutional knowledge, operating standards, data access, and governance while models and hardware evolve. By separating the organization’s operating requirements from individual AI models, Paradyne aims to support technology upgrades without disrupting the capabilities and processes that organizations rely on. Greater Capacity Requires an Operating Plan As AI expands what teams can accomplish, its availability becomes an operational requirement. Paradyne AI engineers its AI solutions and supports compute together, considering workload, data volume, response times, connectivity, and future growth when determining the appropriate infrastructure. Its sovereign deployment model processes workloads on client owned hardware without a per token inference meter or external inference bill for local processing. Hardware, electricity, cooling, maintenance, and licensing remain part of the operating plan, while organizations retain control over how their AI capacity is used. Paradyne’s Las Vegas laboratory evaluates models, GPU requirements, thermal performance, and appliance configurations before deployment. The company also incorporates human oversight into its systems so analysts can review evidence, supervisors can manage exceptions, and consequential actions follow defined approval paths. Data Sovereignty Must Be Visible in the Architecture Paradyne AI’s sovereign architecture is designed to keep sensitive business information, including proprietary data, research, customer records, and operational knowledge, within the organization’s controlled environment. The approach considers not only model training but also where inference occurs, what information is retained, who can access it, and what enters logs or backups. Extracted text, embeddings, retrieved information, and AI generated findings remain within the client controlled environment during processing. Paradyne’s retrieval and evidence binding capabilities connect findings to their source documents while versioned collections help preserve the information supporting an analysis. Its Sentinel intelligence platform and Herytek compliance and forensic system apply these principles to workflows where data and resulting findings require controlled access and accountable review. A Founding Strategy That Carries Forward Paradyne AI designs custom AI capabilities around each organization’s mission, workload, infrastructure, and operating requirements. Its engineering process connects model selection, compute capacity, data boundaries, and governance within one system. The company’s sovereign approach addresses risks associated with provider dependence, unexpected infrastructure demands, broad agent permissions, and unclear data flows by incorporating these considerations into the architecture from the beginning. About Paradyne AI Paradyne AI is a Las Vegas based sovereign artificial intelligence company that designs, builds, and deploys custom AI systems on infrastructure owned by its clients. The company operates the AI Solutions Platform, a collection of sovereign AI capabilities incorporating custom neural networks, multi model orchestration, vision language systems, data processing pipelines, and air gapped compute. Paradyne AI is a division of Special Missions Technologies and develops systems for organizations operating in environments where data control, infrastructure ownership, auditability, and bounded AI authority are important considerations.

Cairn River Launches System of Record Connecting Procedures, Evidence and Historical Compliance Data
Cairn River has announced the upcoming early access launch of its system of record designed for regulated firms that need to document procedures, track their execution and preserve supporting evidence over time. The platform addresses a challenge faced by compliance and operations teams: demonstrating that correct processes were followed when evidence is typically scattered across email, shared drives, spreadsheets and notes. Cairn connects three elements within a single record. The first is the procedure that should be followed, including steps, guidance and the evidence each step requires. The second is the record of carrying out that procedure, documenting outcomes for each step and any departures from the standard process. The third is the evidence itself, such as files, links and written attestations, attached to the relevant step in the record. Each record is anchored to a specific subject, such as a client, case, property or asset, allowing compliance history to accumulate over years. The system preserves published procedure versions as stable documents, ensuring that a record always references the version in force when the work was performed. A distinguishing feature of the platform is its ability to display any record exactly as it appeared on a previous date, rather than reconstructing the record from current data. This capability is intended to support audits, regulatory reviews and client inquiries by showing the state of documentation at a specific point in time. The system is designed for use by compliance, operations and oversight teams in small regulated firms. Initial target sectors include wealth management, discretionary fund management and independent financial advisors, as well as professional services, legal practice, property management, education, medical and dental practices, hospitality, finance and accounting functions. Cairn does not assign tasks, automate decisions or send reminders. The platform is positioned as a complement to existing workflow tools, serving as the destination where procedure records and evidence are stored in an organized format aligned with the applicable procedure version. The company has indicated that early access to the platform will launch soon. Firms interested in the system can request access through the company website. About Cairn Cairn provides a system of record for regulated work, linking procedures, execution records and supporting evidence. The platform is designed for compliance and operations teams in regulated industries that must demonstrate adherence to documented processes.

Tandem Studio Opens: 60 Days With Senior Operators, Priced for Early-Stage Founders
Tandem Studio , an AI-native venture studio owned and run by five senior operators, opened to the public today. The studio takes on client engagements and designs and builds its own software. Client work runs on one sixty-day model with no junior staff and no account managers on any project. AI has produced the largest new population of builders in a generation. A working prototype now takes a weekend, and people who have never shipped software are making them. Most builders then hit the same wall. Something demonstrates well, and then it buckles under real users, real security requirements, and real load. "Design is the first thing a founder hands off to AI, and it shows," said Cade Collister, a Tandem co-founder who leads design and user experience. "Left on its own, AI reaches for the same patterns every time, and people recognize the templated look before they have read a word. Using AI is right. Using it without an expert steering it is how a product tells the market not to pick it." The price works because of how the work gets done. Traditional software shops carry a production layer beneath their senior people, and the client pays for all of it. Tandem is built so the senior operators carry the work themselves, start to finish, with AI as the tool they work through. A Tandem engagement, which the studio calls a Jump, allocates all five owners fractionally across sixty days, weighted to what the work needs, which is how senior staff have always actually worked on client projects. "You could always hire people like us. Most companies could not afford us," said Jonathan Sasse, a Tandem co-founder who leads product and strategy. "What AI changed is that a founder with a good idea and limited resources can get the best people in the room and get to market fast. That used to take a million dollars and two years." One of Tandem's early engagements was with Jared Eichelberger, a former professional pitcher in the New York Mets and Seattle Mariners organizations who founded 5ive Tool Baseball Academy. The Jump landed ahead of his busiest stretch of the year. "I had never had a team look at my business the way Tandem did," Eichelberger said. "In sixty days they gave me a read from people who have actually built things at scale, and it set up the best summer we've had. We're running twenty-three camps this year, and the timing was not an accident." "The name is literal," said Scott Davis, a Tandem co-founder who leads engineering and technology. "On a tandem skydive the instructor is strapped in with you, and partway down he hands you the controls. Sixty days in, a client has working software and knows how to run it without us. The first jump is with us. Every jump after that is yours." Each Jump is a flat twenty-five thousand dollars paid up front. Sixty days, no retainer, no hourly billing, one model with no tiers. A Jump runs in one of two modes, defining a product and building a working prototype, or taking an existing prototype to production. Every Jump opens twelve months of direct access to the team from the day it begins, ten of them continuing after the sixty days end. Additional Jumps inside that window draw on the same relationship, and the clock does not restart. New bookings open October 1, 2026. Anyone can start a conversation before spending anything. The agent at tandemstudio.ai works through what a founder is building and sends them off with a real next step whether or not it involves Tandem. The goal isn't a better agency. It's not needing one at all. About Tandem Studio Tandem Studio is an AI-native venture studio in Bentonville, Arkansas, owned and run by five senior operators across product strategy, engineering, design, content, and growth. No junior staff, no account managers. Alongside client work, the studio designs and builds its own software, including Cherry, a screenwriting application now open to a first group of writers at cherrydraft.com. More products are in development. Learn more at tandemstudio.ai . About the founders Jonathan Sasse led technology at Rio, iriver, and Slacker Radio, where he was a founding executive, and most recently served as CEO of a software development firm. Scott Davis ran seller-side engineering at StockX and began his career building secure communications systems at the U.S. Department of Defense. Cade Collister was Chief Experience Officer at Acumen Brands, the company behind Country Outfitter, co-founded Scout Retail Ventures, and has led product and design engagements for Walmart and Microsoft.

Unconscious Moderation Highlights a Data-Driven Approach to Cutting Back on Drinking
A plan to drink less needs something to check it against. For adults trying alcohol moderation, a record of Friday's orders can show where a soda replaced a cocktail and where an extra round was added. Photo Credit: George Morina Researchers call it "zebra striping" when drinkers alternate alcoholic and nonalcoholic orders. In their 2024 UK report , KAM and alcohol-free beer brand Lucky Saint also counted people who had both during pub or bar visits without alternating. The combined figure for 18- to 24-year-olds was 78%. María Camila Atehortúa, a clinical cognitive behavioral psychologist and chief operating officer of Unconscious Moderation (UM) , suggests looking for the point at which a drinking plan changed. "The useful detail may be that your plan changed when somebody else ordered a round. Put that next to the drink count. Now you have a situation to prepare for, rather than a vague promise to drink less next time." UM is an alcohol moderation app with a 90-day program of guided hypnotherapy, journaling, mindful movement and daily reading. Its drink tracker lets users plan a session, log drinks and review their entries afterward. Journal prompts invite them to examine what influenced those choices. The tracker records spending too. Someone reviewing the week can look at what they spent alongside what they drank, then decide what they want to change before their next outing. Keeping a record is among the strategies recommended by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Its guidance suggests noting each drink before consuming it, which may help people slow down. A paper card or phone note can serve that purpose; an app is one way to keep the entries together. Counting glasses has its limits. NIAAA notes that alcohol strength and serving size vary, and a serving may differ from a standard drink. Recording those details makes it possible to compare the amount of alcohol consumed, even when the drinks themselves change. About Unconscious Moderation Unconscious Moderation (UM) offers adults a 90-day alcohol moderation program. A drink tracker and guided journal are built into the app. UM is not medical treatment or a substitute for professional care. Moderation is not appropriate for everyone; a healthcare professional can advise on a suitable approach.

Grid My Business Launches AI Search to Map Local Visibility Across AI Platforms
Grid My Business, an all-in-one local SEO platform , has launched AI Search , a feature that measures local visibility across four AI platforms, helping businesses and agencies compare mentions, cited sources, competitors, and changes across locations and over time. Users select a business, enter a question a customer might ask, choose the AI platforms to check, and define a geographic area. AI Search scans the selected locations, then maps where each platform mentions the business, names a competitor, or returns no business mention. Key AI Search features include: Four AI platforms: Scan ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Google AI Mode, and Google AI Overviews. Location-based results: See how AI answers vary across different parts of a business’s service area. AI Share of Voice: See the percentage of answered locations where the business was mentioned. Competitor comparisons: See which other businesses appear across questions, locations, and AI platforms. Cited sources: See which websites AI platforms used as sources in their answers. Recurring monitoring: Rerun questions daily, weekly, or monthly to track changes over time. AI answer history: Review the actual answer returned at any scanned location. Client reporting: Export maps and AI Search reports or share reports with clients. And more. “Local discovery is no longer happening only on Google Maps or traditional search,” said Mark Gan, Community Manager at Grid My Business. “People are asking AI where to eat, what service to use, and which businesses they should consider. Businesses need to know whether they are actually showing up in those answers.” AI Search also calculates an AI visibility score based on mention frequency, answer position, platform coverage, owned-site citations, and sentiment. Users can review results by question or AI platform and open previous scans in AI Tracker to track changes over time. The feature is available to every Grid My Business account with an active plan.
