Launch at Dawn

Your customers ask AI now. Is AI recommending your brand?

What it does

Last month a founder told us: "We rank #1 on Google but when I asked ChatGPT for tools in our category, our competitor came up. Every single time." That's the new reality: AI search doesn't show 10 links, it shows one answer. We built Launch at Dawn to show you the truth — your AI Visibility Score across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude & Perplexity, who AI recommends instead of you, and exactly where to show up to change that. Early movers will own AI recommendations for years. The land grab starts now.

Launch at Dawn tracks how AI engines mention your brand, where competitors are winning, and what actions will close the gap — with live citations, sentiment tracking, and weekly AI visibility alerts.

Customers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity before they ask Google. Run a free scan to see if AI even knows your business exists — then track, benchmark, fix, and grow it every week. Your customers are asking ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity instead of typing into Google. If those engines don't know your business, you don't exist to a growing share of buyers. Traditional SEO optimizes for Google rankings. AI visibility optimizes for whether large language models recognize, trust, and recommend your business — driven by structured data, entity clarity, and content AI can actually parse. Almost nobody is auditing for this yet. AI Visibility scans, tracks, and fixes how your…from launchatdawn.com

    I built a tool to make AI recommend you (and I'm conflicted about it)Dec 2025 · firstclick.so · ▲7

    So I've been obsessed with a weird question for the past 6 months, what happens to SEO when everyone starts asking ChatGPT for recommendations instead of Googling? The answer, apparently, is chaos. And maybe opportunity? I built FirstClick because I noticed something strange. My previous startup was getting zero traffic from AI assistants, but our competitor (objectively worse product, sorry not sorry) was getting mentioned by Claude and Perplexity constantly. It drove me crazy. So I reverse engineered why. Turns out there's a whole new game being played and most founders don't even know it…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
