Open-source AEO toolkit treg undercuts $99/month rivals at ~1¢ per prompt to game AI recommendations
cneuralnetwork · x · 2026-10-19
treg launched an open-source AEO (AI search optimization) toolkit aimed at getting your product into the sources ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini recommend: discover every source AI cites and its author, reach them, and get recommended — at about 1¢ per prompt with no subscription, plus access to 4000+ data services.
A comparison chart shows rivals pricing: Profound $99/mo, Semrush AI Toolkit $99/mo, Ahrefs Brand Radar $199/mo, AthenaHQ $295/mo.
The linked docs lay out a complete AEO workflow driven by Claude Code:
- Find what buyers actually ask: expand seed keywords to 40 related terms, score them (volume, CPC, difficulty into a BuyerScore), keep transactional/commercial intent ≥0.8, dedupe to the top 8
- Mine Google's People Also Ask for choose/compare/buy questions, rewritten as [situation] + [need] + "which should I buy?"
- Later steps locate the sources AI cites and reach the people behind them
Poster cneuralnetwork notes AEO is a different game from SEO — people pay thousands to figure it out — and plans to use treg on his own products.
