Why Most Businesses Will Be Invisible in AI Answers
As search shifts from Google to AI assistants, many businesses are vanishing from the places where decisions now get made. Karl has seen this problem firsthand while building Attensira, a platform focused on helping companies surface in generative results. With a background spanning search engines, AI infrastructure, and product launches, he explains why visibility now depends on optimizing for AI systems rather than yesterday’s algorithms.
AI Sounds Smart Until Search Grounds It
AI models can write fluently, but they still can’t think without retrieval. Karl has seen this gap firsthand while building search systems and integrating LLMs into real products: the bottleneck isn’t generation-it’s grounding. Without fast, accurate, and fresh retrieval, AI outputs drift, mislead, or hallucinate. He explains why the future of AI hinges less on bigger models and more on smarter search infrastructure that keeps them tethered to truth.
Search Is the First System to Betray You
Every product that depends on discovery eventually hits the same wall: search. It’s the invisible layer that feels trivial-until users pile in and everything slows, rankings drift, and engagement collapses. Karl has rebuilt these systems under fire, from AI startups to Model Diplomat’s platform, and has seen that great search isn’t about algorithms alone but about product sense. He shows how teams that design search around speed, relevance, and real user intent build products that scale-and those that don’t, stall.
