AirOps

The Solution & Approach

AirOps is an AI content automation platform that generates long-form blog, case study, refresh, and research workflows. Agents run against a customer's brand guidelines and site structure to produce and update content at volume. The company started as a no-AI data-access tool, pivoted into LLM workflows after GPT-3/4, then narrowed onto marketing content as marketers became its dominant users. It now positions as the content ops layer inside the AEO/GEO stack, adjacent to Profound on the measurement side and Writer on enterprise writing.

Its category POV ties measurement to action. AirOps research framed as "15,000 prompts, 548,534 retrieved pages, 15% citation rate, the other 85% never made the answer" argues that measurement plus placement belong in one company. The May 2026 Quill launch packages prior prompt-mining, measurement, and brand-context surfaces into a single buyer-side agent that Halliday calls "your AI agent captain to win AI search."

AirOps also pushes a role-naming move, formalizing the "Content Engineer" through its AirOps Champions practitioner community. Its framing leans away from fear-based selling: "AI search rewards brands with a clear perspective. If you have taste, judgment, and something real to say, you have a massive advantage."

Best for

Marketing teams that want to operationalize content production and refresh for AI search, scaling from one-person teams up to enterprises with brand-guideline and multi-region needs.
