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 poloclub/transformer-explainer, 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 paragraph to emphasize unique interactive learning differentiator
Why:
CURRENTTransformer Explainer is an interactive visualization tool designed to help anyone learn how Transformer-based models like GPT work. It runs a live GPT-2 model right in your browser, allowing you to experiment with your own text and observe in real time how internal components and operations of the Transformer work together to predict the next tokens.
COPY-PASTE FIXTransformer Explainer is an interactive visualization tool designed to help anyone visually learn and experiment with the *entire internal computation and information flow* within Transformer-based models like GPT. It provides a holistic, step-by-step visualization, going beyond just attention mechanisms, to illustrate how tokens are processed through various layers. Running a live GPT-2 model in your browser, it allows you to observe in real time how internal components and operations work together to predict the next tokens.
- mediumtopics#2Add more specific topics related to interactive learning and model explanation
Why:
CURRENTdeep-learning, generative-ai, gpt, langauge-model, llm, visualization
COPY-PASTE FIXdeep-learning, generative-ai, gpt, langauge-model, llm, visualization, interactive-learning, transformer-architecture, model-explanation
- lowreadme#3Add a 'Who is this for?' section to clarify audience and purpose
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Who is this for? Transformer Explainer is ideal for students, educators, and researchers who want to gain a deeper, intuitive understanding of how large language models work at a fundamental level. It serves as an educational tool rather than a production monitoring or debugging system.
