Machine Relations skills
I coined Machine Relations because the way brands earn trust changed. People now ask AI engines what to buy, who to hire and who to believe, and those engines answer from sources they trust. Getting your brand into those answers is a discipline, and it can be taught.
Everything here comes from real work at AuthorityTech, The World's First Machine Relations Agency. When a method holds up in real-world practice, it becomes a versioned skill anyone can install and run, and each version has its own permanent citation. Take what's useful. I'll keep adding to it as we learn.
Skills
- machine-relations
Build an evidence-backed authority intervention brief for a brand: choose what to publish, improve, substantiate or pitch, draft the work, and define how to verify it. Use for Machine Relations, AI visibility, GEO/AEO, SEO content discovery and digital PR planning; use the MRI research skill for citation-data lookups alone.
- machine-relations-index
Use when asked which sources or publications AI answer engines cite for a topic or category, where coverage gets cited by AI, or how often a given site is cited. Answers from the Machine Relations Index tools with measured rates and a citation.
