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 to emphasize interactive visualization for LLM Transformers
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 a unique interactive visualization tool specifically designed to help anyone visually understand and learn how *Transformer-based Large Language Models (LLMs)* like GPT work. It runs a live GPT-2 model directly in your browser, allowing you to experiment with your own text and observe in real time how the internal components and operations of the Transformer architecture collaborate to predict the next tokens, offering a distinct alternative to general explanation methods.
- hightopics#2Add specific topics for Transformer visualization and interpretability
Why:
CURRENTdeep-learning, generative-ai, gpt, langauge-model, llm, visualization
COPY-PASTE FIXdeep-learning, generative-ai, gpt, language-model, llm, visualization, transformer-visualization, attention-mechanism, model-interpretability, explainable-ai
- mediumreadme#3Add a 'Why Transformer Explainer?' section to highlight its unique interactive visual analytics
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a new section, e.g., '## Why Transformer Explainer Stands Out' or '## Core Differentiator', with text like: 'Unlike general model explanation tools (e.g., LIME, SHAP) or static visualizations, Transformer Explainer offers a unique interactive visual analytics environment. It integrates multiple explanation techniques, such as attention mechanisms and neuron activations, directly within a live GPT-2 model in your browser, allowing for real-time, exploratory analysis of Transformer internals.'
