In this episode of The AEO Show (AEOPodcast.com), Kasim Aslam and Julian López break down what it really takes to stay visible in the AI era. As ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and other answer engines reshape digital discovery, AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is becoming essential for anyone who wants to stay visible online.

They explore the rapid growth of the AEO community, the importance of open-source collaboration, the creation of the AEO Blueprint, and a major industry shift: the sudden drop in Reddit citations across AI platforms. The episode also dives deep into how AI evolves—from invention, to engineering, to ubiquity—and what this means for businesses, creators, and marketers.

If you want to understand where digital visibility is actually going, this episode gives you the roadmap.
