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 lanterndata/lantern, 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 sentence to emphasize vector database identity
Why:
CURRENTLantern is an open-source PostgreSQL database extension to store vector data, generate embeddings, and handle vector search operations.
COPY-PASTE FIXLantern is the open-source PostgreSQL **vector database extension** for building **AI applications**. It enables storing vector data, generating embeddings, and performing fast vector search operations directly within PostgreSQL.
- mediumtopics#2Add 'vector-database' to the repository topics
Why:
CURRENTai, ann, approximate-nearest-neighbor-search, data-science, database, embeddings, hnsw, image-search, knn, machine-learning, mlops, nearest-neighbor-search, neural-search, open-source, postgres, postgresql, search, vector, ycombinator

- lowreadme#3Add a comparison section to the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a new section to the README, e.g., 'Lantern vs. pgvector', explaining key differentiators and use cases where Lantern excels.
