Question 1

What is AI visibility (AEO / GEO)?

Accepted Answer

AI visibility, also called AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) or GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), is a website’s ability to be read, understood and recommended by AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude. When customers ask AI for “the best X in Bratislava”, the AI answers from sites it can parse and trust: crawler access, structured data, answer-shaped content and third-party mentions decide who gets named. The free AI check on lyveca.com measures it on any website.

Question 2

Is AI visibility (GEO) replacing SEO?

Accepted Answer

No, it complements SEO. Classic SEO gets you ranked in a list of blue links; GEO/AEO gets you cited or recommended inside AI-generated answers, where there is often just one recommendation instead of ten results. The fundamentals overlap (crawlability, structured data, good content), so work done for AI visibility usually strengthens classic SEO too.

Question 3

Why does AI visibility matter for my business?

Accepted Answer

Because customers are already asking AI instead of Google, and AI gives one or two recommendations, not ten blue links. If AI cannot read your website, you are simply not in the answer: the customer never learns you exist and a competitor gets named instead. Being visible to AI is the new being on the first page of Google, except the recommended business takes almost all of the attention.

Question 4

What is an AI agent?

Accepted Answer

An AI agent is software built on a language model that does not just answer questions but takes actions for its user, it can browse websites, compare offers, fill in forms and book services. ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity are all adding agent modes, which means a growing share of a website’s visitors are no longer people but agents acting on a customer’s behalf.

Question 5

What is the agentic web?

Accepted Answer

The agentic web is the web as used by AI agents acting for people: instead of a person reading ten websites, their agent reads them, compares the offers and completes the task, books the appointment or requests the quote. For a business website this changes the job description: it must be readable to agents (structured data, clean content) and ideally actionable by them (MCP), so an agent can choose you and act, not just look.

Question 6

What is an agent-friendly website?

Accepted Answer

An agent-friendly website is structured so AI agents like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude can read, understand, and cite it, not just human visitors. This includes AI crawler permissions in robots.txt (explicitly allowing GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot), Schema.org JSON-LD (structured business data AI engines can reference), answer-shaped content, and llms.txt as a light extra for AI agents and IDE tools. A further step is an MCP server, which lets AI agents use the site as a set of tools without a browser; lyveca.com runs one as a lab demo.

Question 7

What is Next.js and why does LYVECA build on it?

Accepted Answer

Next.js is a web framework built on React by Vercel, the same technology behind the websites of companies like Nike and OpenAI. We build on it for one main reason: it renders full HTML on the server by default, so AI crawlers and search engines receive the complete content without having to run JavaScript. That matters because AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) do not execute JavaScript, a site that assembles its content in the browser is effectively invisible to them. Next.js also gives every build fast load times, optimized images, self-hosted fonts, and lets the whole AI layer, the visibility check, the agent, the MCP server, run in the same project as the site itself.

Question 8

Which AI crawlers should a website allow?

Accepted Answer

At minimum the search-facing AI crawlers: GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot (OpenAI / ChatGPT), ClaudeBot and Claude-SearchBot (Anthropic), PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended (Gemini). Many sites block them by accident, security plugins and CDN defaults often treat them as scrapers. If robots.txt has no rules for them they are allowed by default; blocking them removes the site from AI answers entirely.

Question 9

Why does Schema.org matter for AI visibility?

Accepted Answer

Schema.org JSON-LD is the machine-readable fact layer of a website, organization, services, real prices, FAQ, that AI engines can quote verbatim. Honest nuance: studies show adding schema alone does not lift citations; it makes you eligible by telling AI exactly who you are and what you sell, so the facts it cites are correct. It works together with answer-shaped visible content, never instead of it.

Question 10

Why does a website need an RSS feed in 2026?

Accepted Answer

In 2026 server-log studies the RSS/Atom feed is the endpoint AI bots fetch most, roughly 40% of their requests, because it is the cheapest way to learn what is new on a site. Feeds also carry publish dates, and most AI citations point to pages updated in the last 90 days. This site’s own feed is at lyveca.com/rss.xml.

Question 11

What is an MCP server?

Accepted Answer

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is Anthropic's open standard for connecting AI agents to external tools and data. An MCP server on a website exposes its functionality as callable tools, so an AI agent like Claude can run a check or send a message directly, without opening a browser. lyveca.com runs one as a lab demo; today you connect it to your AI assistant by hand.

Question 12

What is llms.txt and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

llms.txt is a plain-text file at the root of a website (like /llms.txt) that summarizes the site for AI tools, the AI equivalent of a README. Honestly: 2026 server-log studies show AI search crawlers barely fetch it yet, so on its own it will not get you into ChatGPT answers. We include it as a cheap extra for AI agents and IDE tools that do read it, what actually earns citations is crawler access, structured data and answer-shaped, citable content.

Question 13

Who is behind LYVECA AI?

Accepted Answer

LYVECA AI is a living portfolio and personal AI lab based in Bratislava, Slovakia, built and run by one person: websites, AI agents and tools, built with AI. Nothing here is for sale. Contact: sonamasova@lyveca.com or the form at lyveca.com/book.
