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 apple/ml-ferret, 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.
- highabout#1Add a concise 'About' description for the repository
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXFerret is an end-to-end Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) designed for fine-grained spatial referring and grounding, capable of understanding and responding to any-form referring expressions within images.
- hightopics#2Add relevant topics to the repository
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXmultimodal-large-language-model, mllm, visual-grounding, object-referring, computer-vision, deep-learning, ai-model, research
- mediumreadme#3Explicitly state the project's primary license(s) in the README
