Subscription-based platform designed to help businesses compete for visibility on ChatGPT and Gemini, positioning Change Agents to capitalize on the shift toward AI-powered search
FREEHOLD, N.J., Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Change Agents Corporation (Nasdaq: CHGA) (“Change Agents” or the “Company”), a technology company developing commercial agentic AI software through its wholly owned subsidiary, Avalon Quantum AI, LLC, and pursuing AI-enabled drone technologies through a separate wholly owned subsidiary, Autonomous Air Defense Systems LLC, today announced that it plans to commercially launch Beacon, a subscription-based Agentic Generative Search Optimization (GEO) platform designed to help small businesses improve their visibility across the five leading AI assistants; ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok and Claude.
The platform will go live on October 28, 2026, with additional information available at www.changeagentscorp.com/beacon/. Beacon is designed to help small businesses understand how they appear in AI-powered search results, identify opportunities to improve their online visibility, and attract potential customers.
Beacon has been developed to potentially address an emerging challenge for small businesses as consumers increasingly turn to AI assistants to discover local businesses, compare services, and make purchasing decisions, namely “Is AI recommending my business?”. Unlike traditional search engines, AI assistants can provide direct recommendations to consumers, creating a new competitive environment in which businesses need to understand whether they are being recommended and how they compare with competitors.
The platform deploys an AI agent to analyze a business’s online presence, customer reviews, reputation, and visibility across AI assistants. It then provides actionable recommendations designed to help business owners improve how their businesses are discovered and represented in AI-generated responses.
“AI is fundamentally changing how consumers discover businesses, yet most small business owners have little visibility into whether their companies are being recommended by AI assistants,” said Michael Mathews, Director of Change Agents Corp. “Beacon is designed to make this emerging technology accessible and affordable for small businesses. For just $20 per month, business owners can gain valuable insight into their AI visibility, understand how they compare with competitors, and identify practical steps to improve their online presence. We believe Beacon addresses a growing market need while establishing an opportunity for Change Agents to build a scalable, subscription-based software business.”
AI-Powered Visibility Audits and Subscription-Based Monitoring
Beacon is designed to provide small businesses with an accessible, straightforward process for understanding and improving their visibility across the leading AI assistants.
The platform’s principal features include:
- Free AI Visibility Audit: Following a simple registration and email verification process, Beacon’s AI agent conducts a free visibility audit in five minutes or less, evaluating the completeness of a business’s online profile, customer reviews and reputation, and how frequently AI assistants recommend the business relative to its major competitors.
- Competitive Visibility Analysis: The platform evaluates business recommendations across approximately 100 common customer queries, providing insight into how a business compares with competitors when potential customers use AI assistants to search for products and services.
- Full Visibility Report: For a subscription fee of $20 per month, business owners receive monthly detailed reports showing how customers and AI assistants discover their business, along with recommended improvements designed to strengthen online visibility and potentially increase customer traffic.
- On-Demand Visibility Monitoring: Subscribers can access and refresh their visibility reports as often as desired, enabling them to monitor changes in their AI search presence and competitive positioning over time.
- Optional Implementation Services: Following the full visibility report, subscribers can engage Beacon’s services team to implement recommended improvements on their behalf, providing an additional potential revenue opportunity beyond monthly subscriptions.
The Company believes Beacon’s combination of automated analysis, actionable recommendations, and affordable subscription pricing can help address a gap in the small business market, where sophisticated digital marketing and AI optimization services have historically been difficult or costly for smaller organizations to access.
Targeting the U.S. Small Business Market
Beacon is initially targeting an estimated 5.6 million U.S. small businesses with fewer than 50 employees, representing a substantial potential market for affordable AI-powered visibility and optimization services.
The Company’s go-to-market strategy will emphasize the platform’s free initial visibility audit, allowing business owners to evaluate their AI presence before deciding whether to subscribe to ongoing monitoring and optimization services.
Management believes this approach can support broad product awareness, encourage subscription conversion, and create opportunities for recurring revenue as Beacon’s customer base expands.
“We believe Beacon represents an attractive opportunity to translate the growing adoption of AI into a practical, revenue-generating application for millions of small businesses,” added Mathews. “Our initial focus will be on driving awareness and converting free audits into paid subscriptions. As adoption increases, we believe Beacon has the potential to become an important source of recurring SaaS revenue and further validate our broader agentic AI commercialization strategy.”
Beacon is scheduled to launch commercially on October 28, 2026, at www.thebeaconapp.com.
