Hey HN! We're building Hikoo, a GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) platform for businesses that want to understand and improve how they appear in AI-powered search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews).
The problem: 60% of searches now end without a click, and 83% when AI Overviews are present. Your SEO can be perfect, but if AI engines don't mention you, you're invisible to a growing share of users.
What Hikoo does:
- Monitors how AI engines answer queries relevant to your business
- Tracks your brand's presence, sentiment, and ranking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini
- Identifies gaps: queries where competitors get cited but you don't
- Gives actionable recommendations to improve your AI visibility
We're two co-founders based in France, currently serving 6 clients (agencies and SMBs). Starting at €30/mo — we wanted to make this accessible, not just an enterprise play.
Would love feedback from the HN community. What would you want to track about your brand in AI search?
