Product
Problem
As AI assistants increasingly mediate product discovery and recommendations, companies face a new challenge: ensuring their products are found, recommended, and ultimately used by AI agents. Traditional SEO and marketing approaches are inadequate for this new landscape, and most companies have no visibility into why AI systems recommend competitors instead of them.
Solution
Agent Rel prepares products to pass the three tests AI agents use when deciding what to recommend: being found in searches, being recommended by assistants, and being used by agents. The company offers a white-glove service where its team writes technical content, rebuilds docs, publishes original benchmarks, and distributes work across search, X, LinkedIn, and Reddit. It also provides a self-serve AI visibility tracking platform that runs each prompt multiple times across models to show where a brand ranks, identifies which competitors AI recommends instead, and uses agents to draft missing pages based on sources AI already cites.
Target Audience
Primary customers are developer tool companies and technical B2B businesses that need to be discovered and recommended by AI search engines and agents, including both startups and established companies seeking organic growth through AI-driven discovery.
Features

- Strategy calls included in every plan with team members who have read the customer's data
