Can Claude Codediscover and use your API?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is for answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity — AI that answers questions. AEO (AI Engine Optimization) is for action engines — coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor that write and execute code. Sapient is the only platform that tracks both.

Consumer GEO tools like Profound and Otterly track answer engines — whether ChatGPT mentions your brand. But for APIs and developer tools, mentions don't matter if the code doesn't work. Dev tools need to track action engines — whether Claude Code can actually use your API. That requires measuring tool call success rates, error recovery, and execution, not just brand mentions.

Devtool Arena is our free, public leaderboard ranking APIs and developer tools by how well AI coding agents can use them. It's based on real benchmarks across discoverability, tool calls, and error rates. See results: /blog/we-tested-50-apis-in-coding-agents

Visibility Analytics tracks how often AI mentions your brand in conversations. API Performance measures how well AI coding agents can actually discover, call, and use your API endpoints—including tool calls, errors, and compatibility scores.

Common reasons: blocked AI crawlers in robots.txt, missing llms.txt file, no comparison content, or unclear error messages. We cover the 4 fixable reasons and step-by-step solutions: /blog/why-claude-code-not-recommending-your-library

There's a 4-layer decision stack: training data, web search, structured context (llms.txt, MCP), and execution feedback. Understanding this helps you optimize at each layer. Deep dive: /blog/how-coding-agents-decide-which-sdk-to-use
