Fashion discovery is moving from search engines to answer engines. When shoppers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Perplexity for the best minimalist label or the most sustainable brand, the names that surface are not the biggest ad spenders but the brands with the most public, structured knowledge for AI to cite. This YesPress Newsroom analysis lays out what large language models look for, why many direct-to-consumer fashion brands underperform despite strong paid-social businesses, and how an always-on newsroom turns internal expertise into compounding, citable assets.
AirOps is a San Francisco-based software company that helps brands stay visible as search shifts from Google links to AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude. Its platform combines visibility analytics with AI-assisted content creation and refresh workflows, letting marketing teams monitor how often they are cited by AI, find content gaps, and produce brand-consistent pages at scale. Founded in 2022 by Alex Halliday, Matt Hammel and Berna Gonzalez, AirOps raised a $40M Series B in November 2025 led by Greylock and counts Ramp, Webflow, Chime, Carta, Klaviyo and Kayak among its customers.
The AI Visibility Audit is a step-by-step method for checking how ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini describe a brand. It runs a set of buyer-intent prompts across each engine, measures whether answers stay consistent, flags hallucinated or outdated facts, surfaces missing product knowledge and use cases, and turns the gaps into a ranked list of fixes. The goal is simple: know what the machines are saying about you before your customers ask them.
AthenaHQ is a San Francisco AI-search optimization platform that helps brands see, measure, and improve how they appear inside generative engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini.
