AEO tool overview
AirOps
AthenaHQ
AirOps is a no-code AI workflow platform built for content operations. It acts as a control center for generating, editing, and publishing content at scale. The platform shows how pages perform across both traditional search (SEO) and AI search (AEO), from citations to keyword relevance.
AthenaHQ was founded in 2024 and emerged from stealth in 2025. In addition to monitoring, auditing, and optimization, it also offers AI-generated content capabilities designed to help you draft content briefs, outlines, and full articles.
Worth noting
AirOps is primarily a workflow automation platform with AI visibility as a secondary feature. Best suited for agencies and in-house SEO teams with established workflows who want to scale content production.
Worth noting
AthenaHQ uses a credit-based system (for example, the Self-serve plan includes 3,500 credits per month), wherein one credit is spent each time you take a certain action, like analyzing an AI prompt response for a specific AI model or drafting content.
