LEMONAI

Optimizing Brand Presence in AI-Generated Search Results

Building an AI Visibility Optimizer for Next-Gen Search Engines. Creole Studios partnered with LemonAi, a Hong Kong–based startup, to develop a cutting-edge AI Visibility Optimizer. The web platform empowers businesses to track, analyze, and optimize their brand presence across AI-generated search results from platforms like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. We approached the first release with MVP development first, focusing on prompt tracking, visibility signals, and reporting before expanding into broader automation. With sentiment analysis, competitor tracking, and automated reporting, LemonAi delivers actionable insights for brands in the era of AI-driven discovery.

LemonAi is an AI-powered search optimization platform built through a custom MVP software development approach to help businesses stay visible in the rapidly evolving AI-driven search landscape. By focusing on AI Engine Optimization (AEO/GEO), the platform addresses a growing gap left by traditional SEO tools, enabling brands to understand, monitor, and improve how they appear in AI-generated answers.

Project Challenges

Building LemonAi posed several unique challenges as it aimed to pioneer the new domain of AI visibility optimization:

AI Visibility Tracking Development

Built a custom system to track brand presence across Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity, where traditional SEO tools offered no visibility insights.

Real-Time Brand Monitoring

Developed a system to monitor brand mentions and competitor visibility in near real time, helping businesses track rapidly changing AI-generated responses.

Scalable Sentiment Analysis

Implemented NLP-based sentiment analysis to classify brand mentions as positive, negative, or neutral across multiple AI platforms and languages.

Advanced Data Dashboards

Designed clear dashboards that convert complex AI data into actionable insights, with multilingual support and scalable subscription management for global users.

How did we help?

Creole Studios approached LemonAi’s development with a carefully phased strategy to ensure that each challenge was addressed systematically:

Developing LemonAi: AI Visibility Tracking Platform with Advanced Analytics

Creole Studios began LemonAi’s development with a clear discovery phase, working closely with the team to define product goals such as AI prompt tracking, sentiment analysis, competitor insights, and subscription monetization. Using an MVP-driven approach, we validated features through early prompt tests and refined the most valuable visibility signals.

We then designed a scalable architecture with secure API integrations to process large volumes of AI search data. Integrations with Google Search Console, OpenAI, and Perplexity APIs enabled tracking of brand mentions and AI search visibility. Interactive dashboards were built to display insights like mentions, competitor trends, and sentiment metrics.

To support global users, we implemented English and Korean language support along with subscription systems using Stripe, PayPal, and Toss Payments. The platform also included automated reports, real-time alerts, and exportable insights. After extensive QA testing and compliance checks, LemonAi was successfully deployed for global use.
