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 lakehq/sail, 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 README's opening to clarify core identity
Why:
CURRENTSail is a **drop-in Apache Spark replacement** written in Rust, unifying batch processing, stream processing, and compute-intensive AI workloads on a distributed, multimodal compute engine.
COPY-PASTE FIXSail is a **high-performance distributed data processing engine** and **drop-in Apache Spark replacement** written in Rust. It unifies batch processing, stream processing, and compute-intensive AI workloads, offering a memory-safe alternative to JVM-based systems.
- mediumabout#2Update the repository description for clarity
Why:
CURRENTDrop-in Apache Spark replacement written in Rust, unifying batch processing, stream processing, and compute-intensive AI workloads.
COPY-PASTE FIXHigh-performance, Rust-native **distributed data processing engine** and **drop-in Apache Spark replacement**. Unifies batch, stream, and AI workloads, offering a memory-safe alternative to JVM-based systems.
- lowreadme#3Add a dedicated 'Comparison' section to the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Comparison Sail is engineered to be a superior alternative to existing distributed data processing frameworks. While compatible with the Spark Connect protocol, Sail offers significant advantages over Apache Spark and other JVM-based systems, including up to 8x faster performance and 94% lower infrastructure costs. Unlike general-purpose distributed frameworks like Ray, Sail is specifically optimized for unified batch, stream, and AI data workloads, providing a memory-safe and predictable Rust-native experience. For detailed benchmarks, see [Benchmark Results](#benchmark-results).
