comdaily is a platform for Generative Engine Optimization that makes brands visible in the age of AI-driven search. 

Many companies are frustrated because they are not visible in AI searches despite high spending on SEO. Traditional SEO is losing importance, and companies are forced to optimise their content for Generative Engine Optimization. Our technology analyses and optimises brand communication so that it remains visible across AI models such as ChatGPT and Perplexity. This enables companies to manage their brand in a targeted manner, increase their visibility and build lasting recognition. 

 

comdaily's technology is based on the analysis of fundamental variables and their precise evaluation. We measure and gradually improve the visibility of brands in the most popular AI search engines, including ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, Grok and others. The tool offers a dashboard with visibility metrics, sentiment analysis and competitive benchmarks, enabling data-driven optimisation of brand communication in the context of generative AI. In addition, our proprietary AI analysis model allows brand communication to be checked for desired personality and consistency. A solution we have developed over the last two years. 

 

How did you get together as a team?
Our project originated from a university seminar at Macromedia University in Cologne. Studying the same subject in the Master's programme ‘Media and Communication Management’ led to an exchange between David Wiestner and Ellen Martin. Professor Ralf Spiller was also involved in the project as a lecturer, and over the course of the semester, a theoretical idea was developed into a practical implementation. Mahir Hasan and Ayoub Bouchedoub met at a hackathon. By chance, the five of us met at an event in Essen. After several discussions, we realised that despite our different interdisciplinary fields, we were a strong team. 

How has Gateway helped you?

Gateway gave us the opportunity to exchange with various mentors. This individual support in a wide range of areas is incredibly valuable for a young startup.
