GEO Gateway & SENTINEL

GEO Gateway is CatyAI's AI-optimized content delivery system that makes your knowledge base accessible to AI crawlers and search engines.

What is GEO?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) optimizes your content for AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

SENTINEL System

SENTINEL is the monitoring layer (Layer 3.6) that watches for AI ecosystem changes and alerts CatyAI maintainers when GEO infrastructure updates may be needed.

Scheduled signals (every 6 hours):

• llms.txt standard — detects specification changes at llmstxt.org that may require generator updates
• robots.txt policies — monitors crawler directives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, and Google

Reactive signal (event-driven):

• Crawler UA patterns — tracks new user-agent signatures seen in live traffic via Layer 3.2

Architecture

Layer 3.3: Validation + Rate Limiting
Layer 3.5: AI Beacon (crawler detection)
Layer 3.6: SENTINEL Predictive Core

llms.txt Support

CatyAI automatically generates llms.txt files for your knowledge base:

GET /llms.txt?widget=YOUR_WIDGET_ID

This provides AI systems with a structured, machine-readable summary of your content.
