One of the better-known cyberandy. Passionate about Semantic SEO and AI I am co-founder and CEO of WordLift and insideout10.
Proud (and only slightly terrified) to have sent our beloved Agent into the wild — this time to get hired by @ZurichInsurance. Fingers crossed it doesn’t get a better salary than ours 😉 🤖💼 | Once again it all starts with a Knowledge Graph! 🤞#ZurichInnovates #ZICAgenticAI
Using AI-generated content heavily? Like I've explained before, heads-up (from Google Search Live APAC: Day 1) -> Gary Illyes: Google's ranking systems are trained on the highest-quality content, which is clearly human content "Across several talks, speakers emphasized that…
How Search evolves.
🎧 Learn how Search is evolving into a frontier AI product in this episode of Release Notes. @rmstein, VP of Product, Google Search, sits down with @OfficialLoganK to discuss how Gemini enhances Search and its future roadmap. Watch the full episode: goo.gle/3UrL4fD
In the meantime, ChatGPT continues to burn cash.
"Alphabet reports Q2 revenue up 14% YoY to $96.43B, net income up 19% to $28.2B, YouTube revenue of nearly $10B."
Google Analytics has an MCP server! We can now ask about GA4 data with natural language with an LLM. youtu.be/PT4wGPxWiRQ?si… github.com/googleanalytic…
Interesting: new data shows a 1% CTR on AI Overviews It was only a matter of time before new data & studies started to contradict Google's messaging around the impact of AIOs on traffic. h/t @pedrodias pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…
This is the post I need to read carefully. Context engineering is evolving rapidly. Keeping prompts tight and clean significantly improves the chances of model caching and better performance. Thanks to @Saboo_Shubham_ for sharing this! 🤙
Great article by @peakji based on his experience of building Manus AI. manus.im/blog/Context-E…
The most interesting thing in tech: @Cloudflare has built a new tool that allows publishers to identify, track, and block any AI bots that are scraping their sites without permission. Here Gitesh Gohel and I explain the spreadsheet we've built to decide who to block --- and then…
Prompt learning is how we turn LLMs into programmable SEO agents — encoding goals, scoring, and feedback directly in prompts. As @karpathy noted, “The hottest new programming language is English” — and RL alone is too narrow. My latest blog post → wordlift.io/blog/en/prompt…

How ChatGPT Ranks Citations (I checked the code) 📊 ChatGPT uses RRF (Reciprocal Rank Fusion): A formula that combines multiple search results. (RRF isn't something new) Here's what I found in their Chrome DevTools and why it matters for your SEO strategy A THREAD 👇🧵 (1/n)
This is why 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗚𝗣𝗧 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁, a virtual browser to click through the same, human-centric web is a poor solution to the wrong problem. We must build the Agentic Web.
Eric Schmidt says traditional user interfaces are going to go away. The WIMP model (windows, icons, menus, pull-downs) was built 50 years ago. In the age of agents, UI becomes ephemeral. Generated on demand, shaped by intent, not layout.
Just by the numbers: 💰 Google Search: Generates ~$16.8B in monthly revenue & is massively profitable. 🔥 OpenAI: Generates ~$283M in monthly revenue but is still unprofitable, burning cash for growth.
Let's talk business incentives in the battle of Search David vs Goliath. For the Goliath Google, more searches means more money. Every query is another revenue opportunity. It monetises discovery. It personalises to serve ads.
Context Rot Great title for a report, but even better insights about how increasing input tokens impact the performance of top LLMs. Banger report from Chroma. Here are my takeaways (relevant for AI devs):
Pattern recognition or real reasoning? Has it been independently tested? Has the model already been exposed to IMO-style training data?
We achieved gold medal-level performance 🥇on the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad with a general-purpose reasoning LLM! Our model solved world-class math problems—at the level of top human contestants. A major milestone for AI and mathematics.
Hot take on OpenAI’s IMO gold What does it mean? I don’t know (yet). The fact that no tools, coding or internet was used is genuinely impressive. That said, my overall impression is that OpenAI has told us the result, but not how it was achieved. That leaves me with many…
.@OpenAI should build a “Discover” feed like @perplexity_ai Discover and/or Google Discover. Just saying. 😇
We announced new AI updates rolling out to Search, including Gemini 2.5 Pro & Deep Search coming to AI Mode – starting with Google AI Pro & AI Ultra subscribers – plus AI-powered calling to local businesses. x.com/rmstein/status…
1/5 New, advanced capabilities are coming to Search starting today. Gemini 2.5 Pro (our most advanced model yet) and Deep Search (great for advanced reasoning and research) are rolling out in AI Mode, starting with AI Pro & AI Ultra subscribers. Plus, Search can now use AI to…
Today we're releasing a developer preview of our next-gen benchmark, ARC-AGI-3. The goal of this preview, leading up to the full version launch in early 2026, is to collaborate with the community. We invite you to provide feedback to help us build the most robust and effective…
SEO 3.0 (AEO & GEO) is built on two decades of foundational SEO work. If you read just one article today, make it this one by @lilyraynyc. 🔗 searchengineland.com/ai-search-boom… (thanks for the mention 🙏)
I’ve heard way too many people speculating that AI search means “SEO is dead.” I’ve been getting tons of ads from “GEO” companies saying the same. This couldn’t be further from the truth. I had to put my thoughts in writing. Check it out on @seland: searchengineland.com/ai-search-boom…
