Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface Tanuki/tanuki.py, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.
Action plan — copy-paste fixes
3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Reposition the README's opening statement to explicitly define its LLM focus
Why:
CURRENT# Tanuki <span style="font-family:Papyrus; font-size:2em;">🦝</span> Easily build LLM-powered apps that get cheaper and faster over time.
COPY-PASTE FIX# Tanuki <span style="font-family:Papyrus; font-size:2em;">🦝</span> A Python library for building reliable, type-safe LLM-powered functions that automatically optimize for cost and speed. Stop prompt-wrangling and integrate AI into your Python code like regular functions.
- mediumreadme#2Add a prominent feature point about automatic distillation and optimization
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd to 'Features' section: **Automatic Distillation & Optimization:** Tanuki functions get up to 9-10x cheaper and faster over time through automatic model distillation, making your LLM applications inherently more cost-effective and performant without manual intervention.
- mediumreadme#3Add a 'Comparison to Other Tools' section in the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Comparison to Other Tools Tanuki provides an idiomatic Pythonic approach to defining AI tasks using standard type hints and docstrings for both input and structured output, while remaining provider-agnostic and emphasizing built-in observability. Unlike general LLM frameworks, Tanuki focuses on making individual LLM calls behave like reliable, testable Python functions, with unique capabilities for automatic cost and performance optimization through distillation. While tools like Pydantic and Instructor help with structured output, Tanuki integrates this directly into a function-patching paradigm, adding alignment testing and automatic optimization.
