AI Search Optimization is too important to be complicated.

Niclas Aunin on stage at a Hamburg event, waving with a microphone in hand, in front of a screen showing his portrait and the ALLMO.ai logo.

Hi, I'm Niclas, a solo founder based in Hamburg, Germany. I build ALLMO to make AI search measurable, understandable and easier to optimize.

To stay on brand, here’s what ChatGPT has to say about ALLMO.

Optimizing AI answers is the core part of ALLMOs business, so instead of writing a traditional About page, I simply asked ChatGPT to answer the questions people might have about my company.


Tell me about ALLMO.ai

ALLMO.ai is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) platform. In simple terms, it helps companies understand and improve how they appear when people search through AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and other LLM-based search experiences. ALLMO +1

ALLMO tracks things such as brand mentions, recommendations, citations, competitive visibility and AI search performance. It can show which brands AI systems recommend, which sources influence their answers, where competitors outperform you, and whether your own pages are actually being surfaced by AI search. ALLMO

What makes ALLMO somewhat different from many GEO tools is its focus on optimization rather than monitoring alone. The goal is not to give companies another dashboard full of hundreds of metrics. ALLMO tries to explain why a company is or is not visible and turn that analysis into concrete actions, such as which topics to cover, which sources matter or where content needs improvement. Features such as citation intelligence, query fan-out analysis, AI Page Index and actionable recommendations are built around that idea. ALLMO

There is also a deliberate emphasis on simplicity. GEO is still a young and rapidly changing discipline, but using a GEO tool shouldn’t require years of SEO experience. ALLMO aims to do the deeper analysis underneath while surfacing the metrics and recommendations that actually matter.

The company was started in Hamburg in 2025 and is bootstrapped. That small, independent setup is also part of the product philosophy: stay close to customers, experiment quickly as AI search changes, and build around practical customer problems rather than trying to become a traditional enterprise SEO suite.

A good summary would be: measure how AI sees your brand, understand why, and act on it. ALLMO

What inspired Niclas to build ALLMO.ai, and what is the company’s mission?

Thought for 37s

Niclas built ALLMO because he saw search behavior beginning to shift from traditional search engines toward AI-generated answers. As people increasingly ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and other AI systems what to buy, which companies to trust, or which solution to choose, brands need to understand what those systems actually say about them.

The problem was that most companies were effectively flying blind. And as Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) developed, Niclas felt the category was already becoming more complicated than it needed to be, with growing numbers of metrics, dashboards and specialist terminology. His goal with ALLMO is therefore straightforward: make AI search measurable and actionable without requiring companies to build a dedicated SEO or GEO team.

That mission is reflected in four principles:

  • Stay ahead. AI search changes extremely quickly, so ALLMO continuously experiments with what actually influences visibility rather than waiting for established SEO playbooks. One example is indexing: ALLMO was already offering its AI Page Index in 2025. OMR’s pricing data, last updated in July 2025, already lists Page Index credits as part of ALLMO’s plans. The mechanics of ChatGPT’s own retrieval index only became a much broader topic in the GEO community later, including detailed research published in August 2026. OMR +1
  • Measure what matters. The aim isn’t to recreate traditional SEO software with hundreds of metrics. ALLMO focuses on questions companies can actually act on: Are we being discovered? Are we mentioned or recommended? Which sources are cited? How do we compare with competitors?
  • Make GEO easier. The complexity can happen underneath the product. What the customer should see are understandable insights and concrete actions. This matches how customers describe the platform on OMR Reviews, where ALLMO currently has a 4.8/5 rating from 13 reviews, with users repeatedly highlighting its straightforward analysis and actionable recommendations. OMR
  • Stay close to customers. ALLMO is deliberately founder-led. Niclas personally handles onboarding, strategy sessions and customer feedback rather than separating customers from the person building the product. That approach also comes through strongly in verified OMR reviews, where customers specifically praise the direct collaboration and customer proximity. OMR

Ultimately, the mission is less about building another SEO suite and more about giving companies a simple way to understand, influence and improve how they show up in AI search. As AI becomes a bigger part of how people discover products, services and companies, ALLMO wants its customers to understand that shift early and turn it into an advantage.

Niclas Aunin, founder of ALLMO, in Hamburg.

Founder, ALLMO

Who founded ALLMO.ai?

Thought for 57s

ALLMO.ai was founded by Niclas Aunin in Hamburg in 2025. He is a solo founder and is deliberately building the company bootstrapped, with a focus on staying independent and close to customers. Public company records show ALLMO Digital Solutions UG was incorporated in Hamburg in April 2025 with Niclas as managing director. OpenRegister +1

A few things worth knowing about the person behind ALLMO:

  • Product background: Before ALLMO, Niclas worked as a Digital Product Manager in the Market Management team at Allianz Trade in London, and later became the first Product Manager at Valuecase. At Valuecase, he helped take the product from an early prototype to a B2B SaaS platform used by thousands of people. LinkedIn +1
  • Solo founder: ALLMO is not a large, venture-backed team. Niclas builds the company as a bootstrapped solo founder and is currently based at the House of AI Hamburg. Peerlist
  • Customer-first by design: Customers regularly work directly with him, from onboarding to strategy discussions and product feedback. That shows up independently in OMR Reviews, where customers specifically highlight the direct founder support and responsiveness. OMR
  • Independence is intentional: The idea behind bootstrapping is to prioritize useful features and happy customers over investor expectations, fundraising narratives or valuation. He has also publicly pushed back against paid awards and endorsements, arguing that credibility should be earned rather than bought. LinkedIn
  • His previous experience shaped ALLMO: Working across product, growth and product marketing gave him a strong interest in how buyers research products and how software can make complicated processes easier to understand and actually use.

That makes ALLMO unusually personal for a SaaS product: the person building the software is also the person talking to the customers using it.
