Stop Losing Sales to AI Discovery Gaps

The Invisible Problem Killing Your Visibility
When someone asks ChatGPT: "I need running shoes for hot weather. I overpronate and have wide feet. What do you recommend?"
"I need running shoes for hot weather. I overpronate and have wide feet. What do you recommend?"
AI systems don't just search for "running shoes." They look for products that can answer that specific question.
Explicit Product Type
Explicit Compatibility
Explicit Use Case
Justification Statements
What Most Shopify Listings Look Like
AI reads this and thinks: "Vague. No specific claims. Can't verify anything. Cannot recommend."
What AI Systems Need
Lightweight Running Shoes for Men — Breathable Mesh Design for Hot Weather Training
Your product doesn't get skipped because it's bad. It gets skipped because it's unclear.
The AI Recommendation Gap
AI shopping assistants don't just return search results. They actively filter through a recommendation framework—and most products never make it past the gates.
The AI Recommendation Funnel
100 products enter. Only 4 get recommended.
The math is brutal: If 90% fail at Gate 2, only 10% of products are even considered for recommendation.
Safe to Reference
"Is this product safe to recommend?"
15% of products fail: Products with vague health claims or unverifiable superlatives
Intent Resolution
"Does this match what the user actually needs?"
90% of products fail: Most products fail here—no explicit use cases, audiences, or compatibility info
Comparative Salience
"Why THIS product over alternatives?"
60% of products fail: No unique value proposition that justifies recommendation over competitors
The math is brutal:
If 90% fail at Gate 2, only 10% of products are even considered for recommendation.
ProductOptimize ensures your products have the explicit, verifiable information AI systems need to pass all three gates.
The 4 Gaps Killing Your AI Visibility
Each gap is a specific, fixable problem. We show you exactly what AI systems need—then we fix it.

No Honest Boundaries

ProductOptimize vs Generic AI
"Just use ChatGPT" doesn't work for AI commerce. Here's why our specialized system exists.
Generic AI tools optimize for "sounds good"
ProductOptimize optimizes for "gets recommended by AI shopping assistants"
Anti-Hallucination Guarantees
Unlike generic AI copywriters, we've engineered a system that cannot make up information. Every claim is verified, every specification is sourced.
Hallucination Prevention
No specification can appear in output that wasn't in input data or visible in images.
Claim Verification
All statistics must have source attribution. Unverified claims are blocked.
Visual Cross-Reference
Image-extracted data is validated against text descriptions for consistency.
Statistical Consensus Modeling
Adaptive thresholds distinguish genuine review patterns from anomalies and manipulation.
Multi-Tier Claim Governance
Medical claims, absolute superlatives, and high-risk language automatically blocked.
Mandatory Transparency
Statistically significant complaints are never hidden. Honest acknowledgment is required.
Regional Compliance
FDA, ASA, EU Consumer Law, TGA requirements built into regional outputs.
Post-Generation Validation
Final quality check catches anything that slipped through earlier engines.
Source Attribution
All claims traced back to original product data, reviews, or images.
Character Limit Enforcement
Platform-specific limits (Shopify, Amazon, etc.) automatically respected.
Claim Governance Architecture
Never generated regardless of context
Only with explicit source attribution
Allowed with appropriate hedging and qualification
Standard descriptive content
Truth Governance Layer (TGL) + MVEL
Engine 8 • Production-Validated 2026-01-08
The final enforcement gate that ensures every claim is tracked, verified, and compliant. Combines internal consistency (TGL) with authoritative execution (MVEL).
8 Canonical Dimensions
Sizing & ergonomics
Spec verification
Health claims
Longevity data
Risk assessment
System requirements
Build standards
Price justification
Conflict Resolution Hierarchy
When sources conflict, this hierarchy determines truth. Customer evidence always wins.
3 Output Modes
High trust products. Full feature descriptions with verified claims.
Descriptive restraint. Neutral language with mandatory disclaimers.
Specs only. No marketing language. Pure technical data.
HARD_BLOCK Enforcement
Automatic downgrade to SAFE mode for high-risk categories with authority claims:
Regional compliance built-in: FDA (US), ASA (UK), EU Consumer Law, TGA (AU)
Our system physically cannot invent product specifications, fabricate review quotes, or make unverifiable claims. That's not a policy—it's architecture.
The 8-Engine Intelligence System
We've built a specialized architecture where eight AI engines work in sequence to optimize every dimension of AI discoverability. Each engine has a specific job, specific rules, and specific safeguards.
The 8-Engine Intelligence Pipeline
Sequential processing from raw product data to AI-ready listing
All eight engines work together in sequence. A product passes through each one, and no engine can be skipped. The result is content that AI systems can confidently reference.
8 Adversarial Tests Passed
We didn't just test happy paths. We tried to break the system with the worst-case scenarios merchants and AI systems face.
These aren't marketing tests. They're the exact scenarios that cause AI shopping assistants to exclude products from recommendations. We passed all of them.
