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 a16z-infra/companion-app, 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
2 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Reposition the README H1 to emphasize 'starter kit' and 'stack'
Why:
CURRENT# AI Companion App (based on AI Getting Started template)
COPY-PASTE FIX# AI Companion Stack: A Starter Kit for Building AI Companions with Memory
- mediumreadme#2Integrate the 'tutorial/starter stack' purpose into the README's first paragraph
Why:
CURRENTThis is a tutorial stack to create and host AI companions that you can chat with on a browser or text via SMS. It allows you to determine the personality and backstory of your companion, and uses a vector database with similarity search to retrieve and prompt so the conversations have more depth. It also provides some conversational memory by keeping the conversation in a queue and including it in the prompt.
COPY-PASTE FIXThis project is a lightweight, full-stack tutorial and starter kit designed for engineers to create and host their own AI companions. It provides a reference architecture to accelerate the development of AI-powered products, demonstrating how to build companions with customizable personalities, conversational memory, and vector database integration for deeper interactions. While intended as a developer tutorial, it serves as a robust foundation for those curious about building AI chatbots.
