As ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and other answer engines reshape digital discovery, AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is becoming essential for anyone who wants to stay visible online.

They explore the rapid growth of the AEO community, the importance of open-source collaboration, the creation of the AEO Blueprint, and a major industry shift: the sudden drop in Reddit citations across AI platforms. The episode also dives deep into how AI evolves—from invention, to engineering, to ubiquity—and what this means for businesses, creators, and marketers.
