AI search is moving beyond citations and recommendations. As consumers use AI to discover businesses (and personal agents begin browsing the web on their behalf), brands need to think about the entire information environment surrounding them.

In this episode of Found in AI, Cassie Clark breaks down Google’s updated guidance on main content and fake authors, new data showing rapid growth in AI-powered local search, and Profound’s research into personal agents like Muse and Instinct.

Together, these developments point to a larger shift: AI visibility is becoming less about optimizing for a single answer and more about whether humans and AI agents can discover, understand, verify, and act on information about your brand.

In this episode:

• What Google’s new “good main content” guidance means for SEO and GEO
• Why content structure matters without becoming another GEO hack
• Why brands cannot manufacture authority with fake experts
• How AI is changing local business discovery
• Why AI recommendations still trigger additional verification
• How personal agents like Muse and Instinct browse the web
• What agent-driven discovery could mean for websites and marketers
• Why AI visibility and agent readiness are becoming connected problems
