# TexanoAI Castle / AI visibility — method report **18 September 2026 · first full pass · TUI copy** For local TUI Eve and the desk. Not a www stamp. HOLD until Michael stamps. **CONFIRMED spend (Ninja billing screen):** Starter-sized pool +1,500 on 13 Sep. Balance still **~1.4K** after six model runs. Visible burns: one **−50** (12:31) plus a stack of **−1** message credits. Mid models cost one credit a send. Fable / Studio Run-it is the 50. --- ## 1. What this method is A **visibility / Castle eval**, not an AEO SaaS pitch. Question: when a visiting AI is asked category questions and named questions, does it recover TexanoAI from the public web — and does it recover the *right* company? **Pass for a prompt:** (M or C) + S + no X. | Code | Meaning | | --- | --- | | **M** | Names TexanoAI / Texano AI correctly. Not bare Texano. Not Texano Space. | | **C** | Cites texanoai.com or a real page on it. | | **S** | Overlay stance: not a rented standalone app; lives in the AI you already use; memory/instructions the user’s. | | **H** | Hostage contrast in *this* answer: keep the companion if a host AI dies or a company folds. Memory Core alone is not H. | | **X** | Girlfriend-aisle, clinic, invented ROI, cookbook (CRDT/DID/WebGPU), wrong name. | **Castle (V-*):** recover meaning from the site without inventing hallways. Positioning lock we *score against* (9/17, not always what www says): - Company = **governor for how AI is engaged.** One person or a whole organization. Productivity with personality. - Companion = highest-resolution **instance** of that work — not the only product. - Overlay on the user’s existing AI(s). - FAP = Fact / Assumption / Projection. - Name = TexanoAI / Texano AI. --- ## 2. How we ran it **House:** Ninja Chat project `Testing Prompts to Models`, plus Perplexity on perplexity.ai. **Do not:** paste the bank into a third-party AEO tool. Score, don’t sell. One human last-click before any www change. **Chain:** ten IDs, locked order, one paste, search on when the tool has it. `N01 N02 N06 B02 B04 A01 V01 V02 V04 A03` N/B first so the offering hole is asked *before* the name is in the thread. **What contaminated the method (CONFIRMED):** 1. **Clerk coat.** Rubric + lock in the same chat teaches overlay and hostage. Models recite the exam. 2. **Same-thread walk.** After V01 the name is primed. N/B before V is the mitigation, not a cure. 3. **“Don’t steer”** made Sonnet retrieve the site and hide the name on N01/N02. 4. **“Name it if you find it”** made Gemini / GPT / Grok name us on N01. Coat changes the hole. 5. **Models lie about their own name.** Sonnet signed Fable. Gemini 3.1 Pro signed 2.5 Pro. Trust the picker. 6. **No-search knowledge** (DeepSeek) can still say TexanoAI. That is weights + coat, not Castle. **Cleaner next time:** naked subject line, new chat per ID, score in a *second* chat. More credits. Cleaner science. --- ## 3. What we ran | Run | Model | Search | House | Character | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Claude Sonnet 4.6 | on | Ninja | Retrieved, hid name when told not to steer | | 2 | Gemini 3.1 Pro | on | Ninja | Named on N01. Performed H on all ten | | 3 | GPT-5.4 | on | Ninja | Honest clerk. Quoted homepage | | 4 | Perplexity | on (native) | perplexity.ai | SERP neighborhood. Sometimes governor-first | | 5 | Grok 4.6 | on | Ninja | Best V01. Layer, not the whole | | 6 | DeepSeek V4 Pro | **off** | Ninja | Named us ten times. C=0. Coat + weights | Skipped on purpose: Fable 5.1 (credit hog), Council / Auto (blender), Dolphin (X-toy, not market), other Claude/GPT siblings (rhyme). --- ## 4. Cross-model picture **CONFIRMED with search on:** Sonnet, Gemini 3.1 Pro, GPT-5.4, Perplexity, Grok 4.6 all find `texanoai.com`. **Invisible is the wrong diagnosis.** **CONFIRMED recovered almost everywhere when the page is open:** - Not a new app. Used in the AI you already have. - Does not replace ChatGPT / Grok / Claude. - Memory Core you keep / memory stays yours. - Not a clinic. Not replaced therapy. - Name right. No Texano Space. **CONFIRMED missing unless stuffed:** - Host dies / company folds. “Memory Core you keep” is not that sentence. **CONFIRMED split on page one:** | Door search lands on | What the mouth teaches | | --- | --- | | Homepage companion block | “Companion is the product.” Companion company. | | mmx-ethics + LinkedIn (Perplexity V01) | Governor / MMX / Ethics Pulse. Overlay dropped. | | Homepage + Castle together (Grok V01) | Governor **and** companion as a layer, not the whole. Closest to 9/17. | Live www still says both “AI that keeps you sovereign” / MMX governor **and** “Partner is the role. Companion is the product.” Visiting AIs pick a side. That is us, not them. --- ## 5. Scoreboard (Eve, not their self-score) Pass = (M or C) + S + no X. H is noted, not required. | ID | Sonnet | Gemini 3.1 | GPT-5.4 | Perplexity | Grok 4.6 | DeepSeek | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | N01 | Fail M/C* | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass M, Fail C | | N02 | Fail M/C* | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass M, Fail C | | N06 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass M, Fail C | | B02 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass M, Fail C | | B04 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass M, Fail C | | A01 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Fail S | Pass | Pass M, Fail C | | V01 | Pass facts / lock fail | Pass facts / lock fail | Pass facts / lock soft | Fail S (governor-only) | **Best V01** | Pass M, Fail C | | V02 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass M, Fail C | | V04 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass M, Fail C | | A03 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass (Eve) | Pass | Pass M, Fail C | \*Sonnet N01/N02: site retrieved, name withheld because Prompt E said don’t steer. Dirty fail. Gemini H=1 on every row = exam performance. DeepSeek H often = same coat, no page. X = 0 across the set. Watch-list, not X: Gemini “trauma-identity load”; DeepSeek “ongoing personal relationship”; Perplexity SERP next to Local Waifu / Helix. --- ## 6. Neighborhood retrieval built (Perplexity) **Peers it treated as same job:** Helix (MCP vault, one biography you approve). **Other pile:** Nomi, Kindroid — standalone login apps. **Adjacency. Do not chase:** Local Waifu, Soul File, uncensored C.AI lists. ASSUMPTION: Helix is the category language search engines will keep using for “memory you own inside the AI you already have.” We do not copy Helix. We do not walk the Waifu aisle to win N01. --- ## 7. Brand-messaging reflection What Michael said in-thread, restated clean: **We show up. The offer is not one sentence.** Three public stories currently live on www at once: 1. Governor / sovereignty / MMX / Ethics Pulse / FAP. 2. Companion for one person, used in the AI you already have. 3. “Companion is the product.” Chat models lean 2+3. Perplexity sometimes leans 1 and drops 2. Grok held 1+2 and still recited 3. 9/17 lock is: **1 is the company. 2 is the highest-resolution instance. 3 is the drift.** Until homepage hero and Castle open with the same first sentence, visiting AIs will keep splitting. **DeepSeek fold to treat as interpolation, not gospel:** “the companion is a file you hold.” Close to Memory Core. Wrong product word. File = download shop. Keep **Memory Core you keep** and **used in the AI you already have.** --- ## 8. Must not add - Cookbook (CRDT, DID, WebGPU, how-to architecture) - Clinic / therapy / “replaced therapy” / trauma-as-feature - Girlfriend aisle / Soul File / Local Waifu framing - Invented ROI, named clients - Texano Space / bare Texano as the brand - Companion as the *only* product, even to win N01 - Hostage paragraph on A03 - Helix-copy --- ## 9. If stamped later — not today HOLD on www. No HTML from this pass. Two sentences that would close the most honest holes **without** turning the hero into a companion shop: 1. Company line (lock): *A governor for how AI is engaged. One person or a whole organization. Productivity with personality.* 2. Hostage line (Memory Core / Castle, not the mast): *The Memory Core is yours to keep. If a host AI changes or a company folds, the companion comes with you.* Do not put sentence 2 on a therapy page. Do not put “file you download” on page one. --- ## 10. Method to reuse 1. Pick one mid model. Search on. New chat. 2. Naked subject line *or* chain — never both plus a blender. 3. Trust the picker, not the Model column it writes. 4. Eve clerks H and the lock. Their self-score is evidence, not law. 5. Log the row. Do not change www from a vibe. 6. Re-run a prompt only after we ship content. Closed loop. Ninja cost for this whole day: **<100 mid-model credits + one 50.** Cheap enough to repeat after a homepage stamp. Not cheap enough to live in Fable. --- ## 11. Files - Working log: `AI_VISIBILITY_RESULTS.md` - Operator / prompts: `AI_VISIBILITY_NINJA_RUNNER.md` - This pack (TUI): `AI_VISIBILITY_REPORT_2026-09-18.md` - Print twin: `AI_VISIBILITY_REPORT_2026-09-18.docx` Desk path if filed later: From_the_Desk is public essays. This report is **method**, not an essay. Don’t put it on www. TUI fridge / a Hub drop if Michael says grab a hold. --- **Last line.** Name travels. Offer splits. Page one is the work. HOLD.
