01What is AEO
The shift from ranking to recommendation.
Discovery used to mean ten blue links. Now it is a conversation with a model that reads, ranks, and paraphrases the web in real time. Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of being the primary source that those models quote — in your category, at the decision moment.
02
Structure is the moat
Entity graphs, schema, and primary-source content decide what gets quoted — ranking is downstream.
03
Durable, not disposable
We build systems that survive model turnover. No farms, no tricks, no guaranteed-overnight anything.
02The platform
Plan, generate, verify, publish, distribute, measure.
The open-source AEO content operations platform. Six surfaces live inside the app — each reachable from the sidebar you see at left once you sign in. The sub-capabilities below are the exact nav labels that ship today.

04Agents
CEO, Strategist, Operator, Reviewer — bootstrapped.
Every Krathion workspace ships with a four-agent AEO team on first boot. The CEO ticks on a timer; the strategist, operator, and reviewer stay asleep and are woken by delegation, assignment, run completion, or an admin click. Each runs at concurrency 1 inside a sandboxed workspace with a monthly budget ceiling.
- Board-approved hire flow. New agents flow through one of four real approval gates: hire_agent, approve_ceo_strategy, budget_override_required, agent_delegation.
- Adapter library. Claude (local), Codex (local), Cursor (local), Gemini CLI (local), OpenCode (local), OpenClaw Connection, Process, HTTP.
- Conductor heartbeat. Only the CEO ticks. Directs wake on timer, assignment, on_demand, or automation — the real invocation-source enum.

07Case study
How a fintech category leader took 74% share of AI answers in 90 days.
A Series B fintech wanted to own the primary-source definitions for three regulated product categories. We mapped the answer surface, rebuilt the entity graph, and shipped nine comparison pages. By week twelve, they were cited in the top answer for 74% of tracked queries across Perplexity, ChatGPT, and AI Overviews.

It makes your product the source AI systems cite when buyers ask a question in your category. That’s a combination of content designed to be quoted, entity and schema structure that’s machine-readable, and the technical substrate that lets both survive.
