AEO & ASO: Optimize your business for AI Search & AI Transactions | Aizii.ai & TF Labs

Event Details
Date: September 18, 2026
Time: 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM PDT
Presented by: TF Labs & aizii.ai
Overview
As consumer discovery and purchasing shift from manual web browsing to autonomous AI systems, websites must adapt to remain discoverable and transactional. Join TF Labs and Aizii for a technical workshop covering the dual layers of Agentic Commerce: Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Agentic Settlement Optimization (ASO).
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) AEO focuses on broad informational visibility, entity authority, and conversational recommendation. Learn how to structure your brand’s knowledge graphs, technical specifications, and root /llms.txt manifests so AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity accurately cite and recommend your organization without hallucinations or reasoning tax overhead.
Agentic Settlement Optimization (ASO) ASO provides the commerce-heavy transactional infrastructure for the machine-to-machine (M2M) economy. Learn how to optimize your storefront’s structured JSON-LD schemas, resolve catalog data drift, and deploy protocol rails like UCP, ACP, and AP2 so autonomous software buying agents can parse inventory, verify real-time pricing, and execute touchless, single-call checkouts on your site without triggering an Agentic Abort.
Key Takeaways
– Understanding the shift from traditional SEO to AEO model intelligence and ASO transaction execution
– Deploying root /llms.txt manifests and vector-ready content structures for AI answer engines
– Eliminating semantic gaps between human-rendered visual pages and machine-readable data layers
– Configuring protocol handshakes and checkout architectures to enable deterministic AI agent purchases
– Live storefront diagnostic audits demonstrating real-time Agentic Commerce Readiness (ACR) scoring
Who Should Attend
– Founders, Executives, & Directors
– CTOs, Lead Engineers, & Web Architecture Teams
– CMOs, Growth Marketers, & E-Commerce Leaders
