SUMMARY:AEO & ASO: Optimize your business for AI Search & AI Transactions | Aizii.ai & TF Labs
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nDate: September 18\, 2026\nTime: 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM PDT\nPresented by: TF Labs & aizii.ai \nOverview\nAs 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). \nAnswer 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. \nAgentic 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. \nKey Takeaways\n– Understanding the shift from traditional SEO to AEO model intelligence and ASO transaction execution\n– Deploying root /llms.txt manifests and vector-ready content structures for AI answer engines\n– Eliminating semantic gaps between human-rendered visual pages and machine-readable data layers\n– Configuring protocol handshakes and checkout architectures to enable deterministic AI agent purchases\n– Live storefront diagnostic audits demonstrating real-time Agentic Commerce Readiness (ACR) scoring \nWho Should Attend\n– Founders\, Executives\, & Directors\n– CTOs\, Lead Engineers\, & Web Architecture Teams\n– CMOs\, Growth Marketers\, & E-Commerce Leaders \nHosts:\nTF Labs:\nTF Labs is a full-service Brand Innovation and Event Management Agency working with leading Retailers\, Brands\, and Enterprises. TF Labs specializes in guiding companies in innovation in Web3\, AI\, and content creation. \nAizii:\nAizii is the definitive optimization platform that prepares your business for the machine-driven economy by automating both Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Autonomous Settlement Optimization (ASO). It continuously repairs your site infrastructure\, so your company is natively recommended by major AI search engines and perfectly structured for autonomous agents to execute seamless\, zero-drift checkouts.

SUMMARY:AI Rooftop Mixer Ep. 6 | TF Labs & Aizii.ai
DESCRIPTION:🚀 The AI Builder’s Rooftop Mixer\n​(If you can support with a “Help with Drinks and Pizza” Ticket\, it goes a long way to ensuring we continue to host consistent events. We do not have sponsors\, so I pick up the tab otherwise. Never want money to be an issue\, so if you can’t\, I’ll buy it) \n​We are ready for Episode 6 and a warm-up to Seattle Tech Week starting the following week! Join us for Round 6 of the best kind of “networking”\, the kind that happens over a cold drink with a view. Whether you’re fine-tuning LLMs\, building autonomous agents\, or just trying to keep up with the breakneck speed of the industry\, this is your space to connect. \n​The forecast is looking spectacular (clear skies and a perfect breeze)\, so we’re taking the conversation to the rooftop. \n​Hacker Corner\n– For those who want to work and build\, we will have a Hacker Corner set up to keep you going. \n​Demo\nThose interested in doing a demo of what they are working on will have a chance to showcase if selected. This is a demo\, not a pitch\, so no slide decks. We want to see a prototype\, video\, or application. \n​Why Attend?\n​Connect with Builders:\nSkip the fluff. Meet the engineers\, founders\, and researchers actually shipping products in the AI space. \n​”Bring Your Agents”:\nThis isn’t your standard mixer. We encourage you to bring your latest builds\, prototypes\, or even your favorite custom GPTs. Let’s see what those agents are actually doing. \n​The Vibe:\nHigh-energy\, low-friction. No formal panels\, no boring slide decks—just good music\, great people\, and a Friday sunset. \n​Drinks and Pizza will be provided \n​Interest in Demoing?\nWe will be taking applications for live demos to be presented during the event. Let us know if interested. \n​Sponsoring?\nWant to get your company front and center in front of the AI community? Reach out for opportunities. \n​Event Details\n​Date: Friday September 18\, 2026\n​Time: 5:00 PM\n​Location: Wall & Vine (Check your invite for the door code)\n​Weather: Hopefully Sunny! \n​Hosted by: Aizii.ai & TF Labs \nLocation\n2505 3rd Ave #324\nSeattle\, WA 98121\, USA
