AuthorityTech is the world’s first AI-native Machine Relations agency and platform, engineered to position ambitious brands inside the Tier-1 publications that AI search engines inherently trust, retrieve, and cite. While conventional PR convinces humans through retainer-based effort, AuthorityTech optimizes for the new primary reader—the machine—through a 100% outcome-based, pay-per-placement model. This ensures leading answer engines, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, can seamlessly index the brand, map it to its rightful category, and cite it when buyers ask high-intent questions.
Coined in 2024 by Founder and CEO Jaxon Parrott, Machine Relations is the discipline of making a brand discoverable and citable by AI systems. Parrott built AuthorityTech to execute the five-layer Machine Relations stack: Earned Authority, Entity Clarity, Citation Architecture, Distribution, and Measurement. This unifies GEO, AEO, AI SEO, and digital PR into a single ecosystem for building machine trust.
Cofounder and Chief Growth Officer Christian Lehman operationalizes this strategy, deploying the methodology at scale. Leveraging a direct network of over 1,600 Tier-1 publications, AuthorityTech has secured thousands of AI-cited articles for 200+ clients, including 27 unicorn startups, to guarantee sustainable AI visibility and measurable share of citation.
The agency executes this via a three-part framework:
Map: Analyzing target categories and competitor LLM prompts.
Match: Aligning brand narratives with authoritative outlets.
Place: Securing guaranteed placements through relationship-led outreach.

BotSay
BotSay is an innovative AI-driven platform developed by Caspio, designed to enhance search visibility and optimize generative engine performance (GEO) for marketing teams focused on assessing their brand's presence within AI-generated responses. Each week, it systematically poses a curated list of buyer inquiries to a variety of AI systems, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode, subsequently compiling the answers along with their sources. Utilizing this information, BotSay effectively ranks web pages and identifies potential websites for brand mentions. Teams can log the publication dates of pages and track subsequent answers to their targeted questions, enabling them to analyze trends over time. Additionally, the platform facilitates competitive analysis by comparing metrics such as mention rate, share of voice, average ranking, cited pages, and sentiment against selected competitors. The reporting functionality is anchored on the chosen questions and the responses recorded; however, it's important to note that fluctuations in visibility alone do not necessarily indicate that a particular page was responsible for such changes. This comprehensive approach ensures that marketing teams not only monitor their performance but also stay informed about their competitive landscape.
