"As AI finds your GEO, it will become increasingly important in the future, much like how SEO has become crucial for search engines."

That's what he said about his motivation for creating the platform.

I spent an afternoon at a café learning about how the internet and web pages work.

Listening to Chang Ke's patient explanations, from organizing logic at the start to feeling my head about to burst with terminology and various web services, I found myself momentarily distracted thinking: "Here I am, a kid who grew up in the internet age, just learning this stuff now—how ridiculous!" Though I felt a mix of embarrassment and excitement, the rush of being hit with new knowledge was genuinely fulfilling.

After half a day of effort, this place finally has taken shape.

In recent years, I've felt increasingly reluctant to share my life on social media platforms.

Perhaps it's because the world has turned social media into a marketplace and marketing medium, almost like a workplace. As a freelance musician, sharing random thoughts there always feels like I'm not taking things seriously. Plus, there are frequent reports of Meta mistakenly locking accounts. Why not let commercial platforms remain commercial platforms, and keep the romance of rambling thoughts in my own little corner?

To you who've finished reading this essay, welcome.
