A year ago I started building a calculator website called SpeedCalcs with a pretty simple premise: most calculator tools on the internet are either paywalled, cluttered with dark patterns or just plain ugly. I wanted to build ones that were fast, free and actually useful. Fast forward to today:...
New research suggests that AI memory systems can degrade model performance and encourage sycophantic tendencies.

Most GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) tools fail to improve AI search visibility because they focus on measuring where brands appear in AI-generated answers rather than increasing AI citations across systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. After testing five platforms, I f...
