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 — monitoring and agents 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 — agents draft content that publishes to your live pages via integrations, not a separate AI-served view.

What it actually does
Makes existing pages AI-readable at the edge from day one, plus publishes net-new AI-first content via Streams.
Monitors and analyses how a brand shows up across AI answer engines — Answer Engine Insights, Prompt Volumes demand data and Agent Analytics for AI-crawler traffic — plus autonomous agents that draft optimised content.

Time to value
Edge live in under 2 hours
Fast — reads public AI answers, no site changes; no published onboarding SLA
How it deploys
CDN middleware, fully self-serve, one-click rollback; no site rebuild
SaaS; reads public AI answers, and Agent Analytics reads CDN logs (Cloudflare, Vercel, AWS) to track AI crawlers — nothing served from your site
Content route
Streams publishes to yourdomain.com/streams on Publive CMS — no code changes to existing pages
Agents draft content pushed via integrations (Vercel, HubSpot); not a native edge or on-domain publisher
Standalone vs bundled
Fully standalone, CDN- and CMS-agnostic
Standalone, expanding into a Monitor / Create / Operate / Analyze suite
Monitoring
Single AI Visibility Score across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and AI Overviews, benchmarked against named competitors
Up to 9 engines on Enterprise (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek); just 1 on Starter and 3 on Growth, plus Prompt Volumes demand data
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
Answer Engine Insights for citations and answers, Prompt Volumes for demand, and Agent Analytics for AI-crawler traffic — but no technical rendering or crawl audit
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
Prioritised actions plus autonomous agents that generate optimised content; recommendations and drafting, with no pre-deployment answer-shift test and no edge
Content creation
AI Streams — a managed AI content and intelligence layer publishing a net-new hub on your own domain
One-click AI content and content agents that draft net-new, AI-optimised pages; publishing to your domain relies on integrations, not native hosting
Enterprise-ready
ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, SSO, RBAC, audit trails, mandatory human edit for regulated verticals, 99.95% uptime SLA
SOC 2 Type II; SSO/SAML and API on Enterprise; 24-hour support SLA. ISO 27001 and RBAC detail not published.
