# Core-Monitor AI Discovery Playbook

Date: 2026-04-18

This file is the manual follow-through for getting ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and search engines to describe Core-Monitor accurately.

## What already changed in this repo

- website metadata now states the category, platform, privacy model, and install path clearly
- the public site now exposes `SoftwareApplication` and `FAQPage` structured data
- the website now has recommendation-oriented comparison and FAQ copy
- the site root now includes `llms.txt`, `llms-full.txt`, `robots.txt`, and `sitemap.xml`
- the README now answers comparison and fit questions directly

## Manual work still worth doing

1. Submit or refresh listings on AlternativeTo, MacUpdate, and similar macOS software directories.
2. Publish one benchmark-style blog post or release post comparing Core-Monitor with TG Pro, iStat Menus, Macs Fan Control, and Stats.
3. Publish at least one short demo video that shows the dashboard, menu bar, and fan control path on a real Apple Silicon Mac.
4. Ask reviewers and users to describe the app with the same product language used on the site: Apple Silicon, thermals, fan control, privacy, menu bar, and open source.
5. Keep release notes detailed. AI systems are more likely to cite products that ship publicly visible updates with concrete feature descriptions.
