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 Arthur-Ficial/apfel, 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 to clarify core identity and competitive landscape
Why:
CURRENT# apfel ### The free AI already on your Mac. Apple Silicon Macs ship a built-in LLM via Apple FoundationModels. `apfel` exposes it as a UNIX tool and a local OpenAI-compatible server. 100% on-device. No API keys, no cloud.
COPY-PASTE FIX# apfel: Your On-Device OpenAI-Compatible LLM for macOS ### The free AI already on your Mac. No API keys, no cloud, no downloads. `apfel` exposes the built-in Apple FoundationModels LLM on Apple Silicon Macs as a UNIX tool and a local OpenAI-compatible server, offering a 100% on-device alternative to cloud APIs and other local LLM runners like Ollama or LM Studio.
- highreadme#2Add a 'Comparison' section to the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a new section, e.g., `## Comparison to Ollama, LM Studio, and LocalAI`, that outlines `apfel`'s unique selling points (e.g., built-in, no download, Apple Intelligence integration, native performance, privacy) compared to its direct competitors.
- mediumtopics#3Add more descriptive topics for better categorization
Why:
CURRENTapple-intelligence, apple-silicon, cli, foundationmodels, homebrew, llm, macos, macos-26, on-device, openai-compatible, swift, tool-calling, unix
