Capitol AI

Capitol is a custom perplexity for every website in the world.

Seoable for Capitol AI

If you are part of Capitol AI (or you are a YC founder who looks at Capitol AI and thinks that is the kind of business I run), you probably do not have time for a six-month SEO agency contract. Seoable was built for that. Audit your site, queue 100 ready-to-publish posts, and run it all from your AI assistant.

About Capitol AI

As Perplexity or Gemini replaces the Google Search we all use today, it will remove the need to ever visit a website. This is an existential risk to all media brands, which is why Capitol went from zero to $1.68M in revenue during YC: all media companies need to offer THEIR OWN Perplexity-like experience to maintain their direct relationship with customers. The most trusted brand in political news and analysis, Politico, chose us to power their Politico Pro Subscription product. Consumers expect instant personalized answers. Publishers won’t build this on their own. Capitol’s API lights up publishers' websites and apps so their end users can generate personalized search results, cited research reports, and even tweet storms using the publisher’s proprietary data—all within their paywall. Capitol is the new last mile of content delivery for publishing. This market is $16b in 2023, and will grow to $85.6b in 2030. Gemini and Perplexity are the imperial forces. Capitol is arming the rebels.

  • Pay per piece, not per seat. Credits instead of monthly seats. Buy what you need, when you need it.
  • SEO that includes AI engines. Our audits check what ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Grok already say about you, not just Google.
