# AAO Weekly

> AI Agent Optimization (AAO) — the framework for getting your business found, used, and preferred by AI agents.

AAO Weekly is a newsletter and toolkit helping companies optimize for the AI agent economy. Founded by Joshua Latimer, a supply chain analyst who applied logistics optimization principles to AI agent discoverability.

## What is AAO?

AI Agent Optimization (AAO) is the practice of making your business discoverable, usable, and preferred by AI agents like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Unlike SEO (optimizing for search engine crawlers), AAO optimizes for autonomous AI agents that browse, decide, and recommend on behalf of users.
