We wanted a way to track AI visibility locally in an agent first way, so we built Canonry.On top of AI visibility, it integrates GSC, Analytics, server traffic, and ads to give your agent a full view of your site's visibility.Some of the things we've built on top of Canonry: an automated content generation engine, in-depth site health check monitor, ads optimizer.We learned a lot about AI...

Canonry is like PostHog for AI visibility as it's able to tie server side traffic, with AI visibility along with traditional metrics from Google Search Console, Google Analytics and paid channels.

With agents, it it currently runs a lot of our day to day AEO/SEO + marketing operations.

Canonry is an agent-first operating system for AEO/GEO/SEO.

We built out Canonry to service our own clients and are now releasing it under an MIT license.

We think of Canonry as "posthog for AI visibility" and basically runs our business at this point.

Excited to share!

LLMs will accelerate math research, increasing understanding in areas like quantum which will eventually lead to breakthroughs that will break most standard asymmetric encryption algorithms with the side effect of breaking crypto

> I think I can see where this goes. The government will try to regulate AI and open source in particular, and it will run the playbook it ran for the auto industry. Decades of subsidies, bailouts, and protective tariffs produced American carmakers that sell trucks at home and barely register anywhere else in the world.

Here's the thing about this though, the auto industry directly employed hundreds of thousands of people.

The AI labs are small, only few benefit directly from their wealth and there's already immense opposition to AI, data centers, etc...

Its still really hard to build large, secure and maintainable systems.
Re:Show HN: Canonry tracks how AI cites you – agent-first, open source on Friday May 22, 2026 @03:24PM (#48240314)
I couldn't find an open-source, agent-first way to monitor AI search results + traffic so I built Canonry out.

There are tons of nuances with LLM web search but have gotten really good results using canonry locally as it can cross reference with GSC, GA to really get a holistic view on how your brand/site appears in the search space.

By query selection do you mean what you track? That is configurable by the user (adding support for auto generation soon).

We couldn't find a good open source solution for this so we built Canonry to monitor how ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude represent and cite our sites.It tracks visibility scores, citation-readiness, and brand accuracy across providers over time. Self-hosted on SQLite, config-as-code in YAML, CLI and API are first-class.Would love some feedback!

Anoncast allows users who hold a certain balance of a ERC20 token to prove ownership (without revealing the wallet address) and make posts to farcaster, a decentralized social media site.
