Hey HN, I'm Furkan Yildiz, one of the two founders of GEOfast.
As a developer and marketer, I've been obsessed with how generative AI is changing information retrieval. We’ve been closely following the discussions around GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), and it seems clear that nobody is 100% sure how it all works yet.
Like many of you, we saw that simply having good content isn't enough to ensure a site is accurately represented in AI-generated answers. LLMs often struggle to parse complex layouts, leading to misinterpretations or hallucinations.
That's why we built GEOfast. It’s our first attempt at tackling this problem head-on. After you enter a URL, it generates a lightweight, asynchronous JavaScript snippet. This snippet creates structured, machine-readable "sidecar feeds" (in clean JSON and Markdown) directly from your site's content.
The idea is to provide AI engines with a perfect, unambiguous "source of truth" they can use for citations. We're aware this is just one piece of the much larger GEO puzzle, and we plan to add more features to truly make website content findable in this new era.
We are teaching ourselves as we go and would love to build this in public with your feedback. We're looking for honest thoughts and discussions around the entire GEO topic.
Is this a useful first step?
Do you see this solving a real problem for your own projects?
What other pieces of the GEO puzzle do you think are most important?
