AI-shaped information world
01 — The shift
The audience can now ask for the story instead of searching for it.
A system may summarize the web before a person ever reaches your site, release or campaign.
What are they known for?
Should I trust them?
What happened here?
Who else should I consider?
02 — A working model
The Answer

Pull the conversation out of the hype. Start with what is published, follow what gets picked up, and study what representation reaches the user.
