    What Gauge does
  </h2>

  <div className="mt-4 max-w-3xl space-y-4 text-base leading-7 text-gray-600 dark:text-gray-400">
    <p>
      Gauge helps companies understand and improve how AI systems represent, recommend, and use their products. Traditional analytics show what people click after they reach a website. Gauge measures the decisions AI makes before and during that journey: which brands appear in an answer, which sources shape the answer, which developer tools a coding agent recommends, and whether the agent can use those tools successfully.
    </p>

    <p>
      Gauge turns that evidence into action. Teams can trace a result back to the prompts, answers, citations, agent traces, and code changes behind it; identify the gaps causing lost visibility or failed adoption; and test changes to content, documentation, positioning, and product experience. The goal is not simply to monitor AI. The goal is to help your product become the answer AI gives and the tool agents choose.

      <p className="mt-3 text-gray-600 dark:text-gray-400">
        AI Visibility is for marketing, growth, and content teams that want their brand to appear accurately and prominently in AI search. Gauge runs customer questions across major AI platforms every day, measures mentions and citations, compares competitors, and shows the sources behind every result. Ask Gauge and the Content Engine turn visibility gaps into recommended actions and publish-ready content.

        <strong>Use it to:</strong> monitor AI answers, understand competitive visibility, find content and positioning gaps, and improve the information AI uses to describe your brand.

      <h3 className="text-lg font-semibold text-gray-950 dark:text-white">Coding Agent Optimization</h3>

      <p className="mt-3 text-gray-600 dark:text-gray-400">
        Coding Agent Optimization is for developer-tool companies that want coding agents to choose their product and implement it correctly. Gauge runs real coding agents in real repositories, records their research and code changes, and measures both Agent Preference—which tools agents recommend and adopt—and Agent Experience—whether agents complete a task successfully. Teams can use the full web product or the Gauge CLI; both provide the same measurement, run, and results workflows.
      </p>

      <p className="mt-4 text-sm text-gray-600 dark:text-gray-400">
        <strong>Use it to:</strong> compare agent and model behavior, find documentation or onboarding friction, understand why competitors win, and test which changes improve selection and implementation.
