Edge delivery for AI botsEdge delivery serves a parallel, AI-only view of your existing pages to AI crawlers at the CDN — humans and Google/Bing still get the normal site. It’s where Publive AXP Edge is built to win: readable content, a token-light payload, faster responses and AI-only content fixes, all standalone from day one. Most tools here do none of this; a couple offer a limited, bundled or gated version.
Content readability for AI
Yes — serves a clean, structured, AI-readable version of every existing page at the CDN; content-visibility gain tracked per URL, no rebuild.
No — analytics only; nothing served to bots.
Token optimisation at the edge
Yes — serves a token-light payload so AI spends fewer tokens per page and is likelier to prefer your URL on live fetches; reduction tracked per URL.
No.
Response time (TTFB) for AI bots
Yes — serves each optimised page from the CDN edge to cut TTFB for AI crawlers, so bots succeed on live fetches; response time tracked per URL.
No — no delivery layer.
AI-only content fixes
Yes — auto-detects gaps and applies surgical fixes (LLM-friendly summaries, FAQ and schema inserts, answer repositioning, meta inserts) only in the HTML served to AI bots, with one-click rollback.
No — Agentic Campaigns drafts content; recommendations only, nothing scoped to bot-served HTML.

What it actually does
Makes existing pages AI-readable at the edge from day one, plus publishes net-new AI-first content via Streams.
Tracks and influences how a brand appears in AI answers across millions of responses — visibility, favourability, accuracy and risk — and drafts optimisation content through Agentic Campaigns.
Best for
Enterprise and agency
Fortune 500 in-house marketing orgs
Delivery model
Both self-serve (AXP Edge) and CSM-led concierge (Streams)
Sales-led, enterprise-only — every path is a demo request, no self-serve
Company status
Both products live, built by Publive — a DXP and AXP platform serving enterprise customers.
Founded 2024; $68M raised ($43M Series B, Apr 2026, co-led by Threshold and NEA); ~10% of the Fortune 500 engaged (Adidas, American Express, LVMH, Ulta).
Time to value
Edge live in under 2 hours
Slow — a ~3–6 week sales and onboarding cycle before results
How it deploys
CDN middleware, fully self-serve, one-click rollback; no site rebuild
Read-and-analyse layer over public AI answers; no site, CDN or edge changes
Content route
Streams publishes to yourdomain.com/streams on Publive CMS — no code changes to existing pages
Agentic Campaigns drafts content; the publish-to-your-domain mechanism isn’t disclosed
Standalone vs bundled
Fully standalone, CDN- and CMS-agnostic
Standalone agentic-marketing platform
Monitoring
Single AI Visibility Score across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and AI Overviews, benchmarked against named competitors
The major answer engines — ChatGPT, Google AI, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot and Amazon Rufus — with visibility, favourability and accuracy scoring; exact engine count not published
Auditing
Prioritised fix list from AXP Edge; Agents Hub runs continuously with a Brand Reputation Agent and an Outdated Content Agent across AI answers and the open web
Citation and source-impact analysis, share-of-voice, an Impact Score and Influence Rank, plus hallucination and accuracy monitoring; no technical site crawl
Optimising
Serves a clean, token-light view and deploys approved fixes, grounded in a Brand Knowledge Hub (OKF); prompt tracking tests whether a change shifts the AI answer before you commit
Daily impact-ranked recommendations and agent-generated content; it advises and drafts, but doesn’t deploy fixes to your properties
Content creation
AI Streams — a managed AI content and intelligence layer publishing a net-new hub on your own domain
Agentic Campaigns drafts targeted AI-optimisation content, though some reviews note it stops short of a full content hub
Enterprise-ready
ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, SSO, RBAC, audit trails, mandatory human edit for regulated verticals, 99.95% uptime SLA
Google Workspace SSO and standard encryption; SOC 2 reportedly still in progress, with no published ISO 27001 or RBAC posture
