# FirePencil.AI > FirePencil.AI is the world's first autonomous AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) agent. It makes AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews — read, trust and cite your brand, so customers asking AI get your name instead of a competitor's. Built for D2C brands. Currently in private beta (Spring 2026). FirePencil.AI works autonomously at your server level — handling schema, citations, structured data and entity coherence. It is not a recommendation dashboard or a "here's what you should do" tool; the agent does the work, with owner approval. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is built on trust, and trust becomes visibility in every AI answer. FirePencil scores and optimizes a brand across 12 AEO pillars: Discovery, Structure, Content, Reputation, Infrastructure, Authority, Recency, Granularity, Differentiation, Citability, Entity, and Schema. The beta dashboard provides four views: an AI Visibility Score (a consolidated readiness rating), a 12-Pillar Audit (per-pillar diagnostics with the weakest "bottleneck" pillar flagged), Prompt Intelligence (reverse-prompt tracking across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude), and an Optimization Trajectory (before/after citation-rate improvement). FirePencil.AI was founded by S M Pandi Subramanian (CEO) and Harishankar Somasundaram (CTO). It is in private beta with limited spots. Waitlist members get priority access, locked-in founder pricing, a direct founder Slack channel, and a free 12-page AI-visibility audit on admission. ## Pages - [FirePencil.AI home](https://firepencil.ai): Overview of the autonomous AEO agent — why brands are becoming invisible to AI and how FirePencil makes AI trust your brand. - [Free llms.txt Generator](https://firepencil.ai/llms-txt-generator/): Free tool to create a valid llms.txt file so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can read and cite your site — the first step in AEO. - [Join the waitlist](https://firepencil.ai/#waitlist-form): Request private-beta access and claim a free AI-visibility audit. ## Optional - [Privacy Policy](https://firepencil.ai/privacy-policy.html): How FirePencil.AI collects, uses and protects your information.
