What Suede AI does
Most clients start with an agent platform of their own or a white-label platform for their agency's clients. Suede builds, runs and tunes the agents, and every run stays open to watch.
The tasks your business repeats every week, run by agents you can watch.

AI operations
Each role has a full guide: what the agent does every day, the setup steps, the guardrails it runs inside and the one KPI it answers to. Start with the lane where the work piles up.
How AI operations works: map the work, write the guardrails, agree one KPI per lane, then build.

AI agents that run the work
A managed agent from Suede has a name, an inbox and a phone line, and one number it answers to. Ask it where the KPIs stand, what shipped this week, or what it’s doing next. Every run it takes is open in Agent Studio.
It answers from the same runs you can watch, so its number is the number on the board.
It has its own address. Forward it a thread, ask for the weekly KPI note, or send it something to check.
Talk the KPIs through like you would with a colleague: what moved, what didn’t, and what it wants to do next.

AI search visibility
Answer share is the visibility measure: how often you are named in sampled answers, on the same prompts and engines before and after the work. Description accuracy, citations and qualified inquiries are reported on their own lines.
Get your answer shareThe visibility assessment
Your answer share today, the buyer prompts where an engine named someone else, and issues to investigate: blocked crawlers, unreadable pages and inconsistent records. We scrape the competitor sites it quoted so you can inspect those sources. Each finding links to the answer and source behind it. Dated, checkable, and back within three business days.
The answer-share sprint
You approve the prompt set. We take the baseline, repair what the engines read, and measure again on day thirty: same prompts, same engines, same method. Pricing is quoted case by case.
Compound
Managed agents maintain source material, watched live in Agent Studio, with visibility reported monthly against the prompt set you approved on day one. Everything gathered lands in an Obsidian second brain you can search. AI costs are inside the retainer.

Field notes
A pinned 1,000-domain study: 138 of 497 evaluable robots.txt responses disallow at least one selected AI token at the root; 78 llms.txt candidates pass the checks.
AI workflows and operationsThe first useful agent workflow is usually a small job with a clear input and an output somebody can check. This checklist turns a vague request to automate into a task with an owner, a boundary, and a test for completion.
Music tools and workflowsA useful music workflow leaves something you can pick up tomorrow: a better passage, a saved idea, a clear session, or a release folder someone else can understand. Here is how to connect those steps without spending the whole evening managing tools.
Creator rights and recordsWho owns AI music? Separate U.S. copyright in human contributions from platform commercial-use terms, then document the rights needed to release a song.

Answer share is the share of samples, across a client-approved set of real buyer prompts and a declared set of engines, in which the client is named in the answer. Suede AI samples each prompt repeatedly on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google, dates every answer, and keeps the raw text, so every observation is inspectable. Answer share is the visibility measure; accurate descriptions, citations, recommendations and qualified inquiries are reported separately. In an engagement, the free AI visibility assessment reports it, the thirty-day sprint takes a baseline and measures again on the same prompt set, and the monthly retainer reports it against the prompts approved on day one.
Suede AI reviews crawlability, indexing, page titles, descriptions, internal links, structured data, and the content buyers need to evaluate a business. The work includes implementing agreed website improvements and checking their effect through search data and relevant inquiries where measurement is available.
Generative engine optimization (GEO) focuses on how AI systems describe and cite a business. SEO helps search engines discover and understand its web pages. Suede AI combines both by checking answers from Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, then improving the pages, company profiles, and sources those answers can draw on.
Digital PR includes company positioning, story development, press materials, source-backed claims, and targeted media outreach. Suede AI coordinates this work with the website and public company profiles. The newsroom lists every published article with a link to the original.
Businesses that want agents running their repeat work, and agencies that want an agent platform under their own brand for their clients, worldwide. The AI search practice also serves businesses, founders and creative teams that need clearer search visibility and accurate company information. The initial scope identifies the audience, the work and the services Suede AI can deliver.
Start with a scope request at suedeai.ai/seo. Share your website, business goals, target customers, and the searches or AI answers that matter to you. Suede AI reviews the starting point and defines the proposed work, deliverables, and measurement before the engagement begins.
Suede AI SEO is priced as a ladder. The AI visibility assessment is free and comes back within three business days. The thirty-day answer-share sprint is quoted case by case. Compound, the monthly SEO and GEO retainer, is quoted in a reply, and digital PR and AI operations are scoped the same way. Suede AI creative-app subscriptions are separate products, listed on the pricing page.
Search Console can show impressions, clicks, and indexing changes. Website analytics and inquiry records can show relevant visits and leads when configured. For AI visibility, Suede AI repeats a defined set of prompts and records the engine, date, response, and cited sources. Every answer is dated and kept, so the trend is visible across samples.
Yes. A managed agent from Suede AI has a name, an inbox and a phone line. Chat with it, email it, text it, or call it and talk through the KPIs it answers to; it reports from the same runs you can watch live in Suede AI Agent Studio, so the number it gives you is the number on the board. It works from an Obsidian second brain, a knowledge graph of everything the practice gathers about your pages, records, competitors and results. Suede AI builds the agent, runs it, and keeps it tuned, with AI costs inside the retainer; your side is asking.
The work and deliverables in the agreed scope, plus reporting that shows implemented changes beside observed search, press and business results.
The Suede AI newsroom links published coverage and provides company facts and media assets. The founder page documents Jason Colapietro’s background, books, and work. The Suede AI SEO evidence page holds dated search observations and the public open-source contribution record. These sources let you inspect the work before requesting a scope.
Yes. Artist websites, biographies, press kits, and consistent public credits remain a specialty. Suede AI also operates the IP Registry for public provenance records and publishes a proof-of-creation guide. A record supports an evidence trail. Pair it with copyright registration for legal standing.
