I’ve been learning more about SEO, AEO, and GEO during my internship at Lifewood Data Technology, and it’s interesting seeing AI search visibility becoming a bigger focus for businesses. Beyond just tracking whether a brand appears, I think monitoring the prompts, citations, and competing sources behind those answers can make AEO much more actionable. What AE",

TypeSafe AI raises $40M seed to build the anti-LLM Former OpenAI researcher Diogo Almeida emerged from two years of stealth with a contrarian pitch: software doesn't need chatbots, it needs fast, typed decisions. Their first model Jev outputs structured values with calibrated confidence scores - no free-form text, no hallucinations by design. It runs in 70–500ms and costs $0.042 per million input tokens. The bet: most decisions in software are classification, routing, and scoring - and those need speed and reliability, not reasoning. $40M seed led by DCVC.\n\n2. Profound hits $1.8B unicorn in AEO blitz Answer Engine Optimization is now a $180M Series D category. Profound, which helps brands appear in AI search results (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini), raised at a $1.8B valuation co-led by Sequoia and Kleiner Perkins - just 7 months after their Series C. They now serve 1,000+ enterprise clients including Walmart, Cursor, and Figma, and claim to reach over one-third of the Fortune 100. If GEO/SEO was the skill for the Google era, AEO is shaping up as its equivalent for AI search.\n\n3.
