Press release · For immediate release
FancyAI rebrands as Visigent, introduces Beacon for AI discovery.
Beacon helps businesses improve how AI understands and recommends them by making their expertise and offerings easier to find and verify.
Coverage: Reuters, October 26 — US political candidates tailor messages for AI models used by voters
Visigent, formerly FancyAI, today announced its new name and Beacon, a system that turns what a business knows into current website content, earns supporting mentions in the sources AI cites, and reports weekly on how AI describes and recommends the business.
"Businesses hold far more knowledge than their websites show. Beacon brings that knowledge into a form AI can find and use."
— Tom Howell, co-founder and CEO
The problem
The details that make a business worth recommending — what it does, for whom, with what proof — usually live in sales conversations and internal documents. Websites end up incomplete or out of date, and AI assistants answer from what they can find.
Recent third-party research points the same way. Promptwatch reported that Reddit's share of tracked ChatGPT Search citations fell from 3.83% to 0.52% in August 2026, a decline of roughly 86%; the company called the finding provisional and did not establish a cause. An OtterlyAI analysis of 16 brand reports found official brand and competitor pages gained citation share in 10 of 15 reports where that category appeared, and reference sources gained in 4 of 5. The window was short and the cause was not established.
Visigent's response is to help businesses keep accurate information on their own sites and earn mentions in the outside sources AI uses.
What Beacon does
Beacon has five connected parts. Visigent measures how AI describes and recommends a business before work begins, then tracks what changes.
Part 2
Close website gaps
Compare the model to the pages you have. Update, consolidate, retire or create.
Part 3
Keep information current
When a fact changes, the change carries through every page it touches.
Part 4
Build outside credibility
Identify the publications, directories and reference sources AI cites, and earn accurate mentions.
Part 5
Measure results
Weekly: how often ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude recommend the business, which sources they cite, and how accurately they describe it.
"Clients want to know one thing: can the right customers find them through AI? So the work is framed around whether AI describes the business accurately and recommends it for the problems it can solve."
— Chris Barbee, Chief Growth Officer
The name
"Visigent" combines "visibility" and "agents". The team, customer relationships, existing platform and pricing are unchanged.

The self-serve platform provides AI visibility and description tracking, gap analysis, page-level recommendations and the resources to make changes.
