Three scores, refreshed weekly from live market signals rather than a once-a-year analyst report. Presence is how established a vendor is in the market right now. Velocity is how fast they are shipping, raising, and winning customers. Agent Readiness is how easily your own agents can build on them through an API, MCP server, SDK, or CLI. Scores are relative across the vendors we track; the raw inputs ship in the downloadable dataset.
The Solution & Approach
AirOps is the content-operations layer of the AEO/GEO category. Agents generate long-form blog, case study, refresh, and research content that runs against a customer's brand guidelines and site structure. The company started as a no-AI data-access tool, pivoted to LLM workflows after GPT-4, then narrowed onto marketing content as marketers became its dominant users.
Its category POV is that measurement and placement belong in one company. AirOps pairs a measurement stack (Page360, Prompt Discovery, prompt mining) with a placement product (AirOps Offsite, which scores publisher influence on AI answers) and an end-to-end buyer-side agent (Quill, framed as "your AI agent captain to win AI search"). The supporting research is its own argument: 15,000 prompts retrieved 548,534 pages and only 15% were cited, so "85% never made the answer."
AirOps also runs a vocabulary play, formalizing a "Content Engineer" role through the AirOps Champions community, and leans on a public Anthropic relationship, including a Claude Connector and an Anthropic-published case study citing 2x productivity and 300% content-velocity gains for Carta.
Best for
Marketing teams that want to run content operations as an agent-driven system for AI search, including lean teams that operate a full content function with one or two people.
