The Agentic Architecture Behind the AI Visibility Tracker

Most approaches to AI monitoring are essentially glorified keyword trackers — pull some responses, count mentions, call it a day. We wanted to do something more rigorous than that, which meant rethinking the problem from the data layer up.

The AI Visibility Tracker is designed to show you what major AI platforms like GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity are saying about your brand when users ask about topics you care about – and how you rank in the conversation.

The Architecture That Made This Possible

We’ve expanded our technical architecture to support agentic workflows. Agents each have a discrete, specialized role. When the tracker runs, it launches a parallelized workflow that acts like your own research team:

• Competitor, Topic, and Audience Mapping: An agent identifies details about you, your competitors, and the topics and audiences you care about.
• Model Fanout: Custom, structured queries are simultaneously sent to an ‘arena’ of leading AI tools, guaranteeing we capture the full breadth of the conversation about your industry, topics, and ranking.
• Scoring: A specialized evaluator scores every response for topic authority, sentiment, and your share of voice in the AI response.

Current Stats:

• 250,000 possible combinations of queries that gauge visibility
• Over 150,000 prompts run to date
• Across 4 major AI providers

AI visibility isn’t a future problem to get ahead of. It’s a present one, playing out in real conversations right now, and the brands that understand it earliest are the ones setting the terms for everyone who comes after.

Future updates will continue to include more agentic workflows and architecture, including more data-driven recommendations and insights. Request early access.

As a deadly Ebola outbreak spreads in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Direct Relief is preparing to ship $2.5 million in medicine and medical supplies to treat patients, protect health workers, and limit the spread of the highly contagious disease.

The outbreak is caused by the Bundibugyo virus, a rare species of Ebola, distinct from the more common Zaire strain. Bundibugyo has a fatality rate of 30% to 50%, according to the World Health Organization.

There is no vaccine for the Bundibugyo virus. Healthcare workers provide patients with supportive care, treating them for dehydration, coinfections, respiratory and digestive complications, and other common symptoms, said Alycia Clark, Direct Relief’s Vice President and Chief Pharmacy Officer.

Direct Relief has been a leading responder to Ebola outbreaks for more than a decade. At the height of the crisis in September 2014, Direct Relief chartered a Boeing 747 that departed New York’s JFK International Airport carrying 100 tons of emergency medical supplies – including 2.8 million gloves, 170,000 coverall gowns, and enough oral rehydration solution to supply two Ebola wards for a full year.

“Direct Relief has longstanding histories with our partners in the affected regions,” Clark said. “These organizations have earned the trust of their communities through years of work under extraordinarily difficult conditions. Direct Relief’s job is to make sure they don’t face this outbreak without the tools to fight it.”

Staff at Direct Relief’s medical warehouse in Santa Barbara, Calif., on Wednesday completed packing the shipment, which includes:

• Personal protective equipment – Coveralls rated for biological protection, N95 respirators, and goggles, to protect health workers from direct viral exposure
• Antibiotics to treat coinfections common among Ebola patients
• Diagnostics and other medical supplies – Stethoscopes, needles, syringes, sharps containers
• Supportive care medications – Oral rehydration salts and electrolyte packets to manage Ebola’s common symptoms of dehydration and electrolyte abnormalities
• Chronic disease medications – Diabetes, cardiovascular, and arthritis treatments. If these are poorly managed, they can worsen outcomes for Ebola patients
• Field infrastructure and safety equipment – Portable tents, water purification devices, safety vests, and insect repellent

In addition to delivering medical aid, Direct Relief has allocated an initial $100,000 in funding toward its response.

Direct Relief is sending the medical aid to Jericho Road’s Wellness Clinic, located at the New Hope Center in Goma, a region where armed conflict and mass displacement have severely strained healthcare capacity. The clinic will distribute supplies to hospital partners in at-risk areas, keeping some to protect its own patients and staff. Health workers are at high risk of becoming infected while treating patients for Ebola, which spreads through contact with bodily fluids.

In some disasters, well-meaning donors send unneeded and unrequested material, which can swamp local capacity. Direct Relief only donates items specifically requested by recipients; the Wellness Clinic requested each item in this shipment.

Direct Relief is coordinating its response with the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and with the International Organization for Migration, said Daniel Hovey, Direct Relief’s Vice President of Emergency Response.

When the deadliest Ebola epidemic in history erupted in West Africa in 2014, Direct Relief arranged more than 80 emergency shipments – totaling approximately $40 million in medical aid and 476 tons of essential medical supplies and protective equipment – to more than 1,000 hospitals and clinics throughout Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone.

When Ebola returned to the DRC in 2018 – the worst Ebola outbreak in DRC history and the second largest globally – Direct Relief again mobilized, supporting Jericho Road as it cared for patients amid what was the first Ebola outbreak in an active conflict zone.

In 2024, Direct Relief supported Jericho Road’s mpox response – awarding a $50,000 grant for mpox response, prevention, and treatment programs in three internally displaced people camps near the Goma facility. When conflict intensified in early 2025 following the M23 militia’s capture of Goma, Direct Relief provided a $25,000 emergency grant to Jericho Road for local procurement of essential medical supplies, including antibiotics and medicines for chronic disease management.

At CACI, many know Nathaniel “Nate” Dibling as executive director of Strategic Technical Integration for U.S. Operations, but outside of the company, his deep affinity to mission-focused work is backed by a long commitment to service.

Dibling is not just a CACI employee, he is also a current member of the Texas Army National Guard. He has been a member of the U.S. Armed Forces for the past 24 years, starting his career with the Army in 2002. He served in active duty for six years before joining the Guard in 2008, where he has been for 18 years.

This past April, Dibling had the unique honor of traveling to Santiago, Chile to take part in an official partnership agreement signing between the Texas Army National Guard and Chile’s military. Standing alongside Chilean military leaders and fellow members of the Guard, he witnessed the next chapter of the partnership take shape.

“The agreement represents more than a document,” said Dibling. “It’s a commitment to deepen understanding of the Chilean Army’s role in providing security and protection, building trust between the Army and the communities it serves, and strengthening the long-standing bond between the Texas Army National Guard and the Chilean military.”

While Dibling has been with CACI for a decade, his sense of purpose and people-first attitude transcends all aspects of his life.

“I enjoy the work we do here and the folks too; everyone is focused on the mission,” said Dibling. This feeling can be found all throughout CACI; our teams deeply care about the mission of our company and customers and the work we do helps keep our future safe, making CACI truly a rewarding place to work every day.

In his current role, Dibling is responsible for improving technology integration and reuse across the company, ensuring CACI leverages these innovations across its markets to help build stronger capabilities that help the warfighter.

Prior to joining CACI’s U.S. Operations team, he worked on the Spectral program, building the next generation of signals intelligence (SIGINT) and electronic warfare (EW) for U.S. Navy platforms. He notes that the program’s mission and CACI’s impact fuel his enduring commitment to work on essential strategic interests of our nation.

“Being able to build technology and systems that keep soldiers, sailors, airmen, and probably myself safe motivates me.”

Dibling said he joined the Army for two reasons: legacy and opportunity.

“My family has been in the military for generations. I am a fourth-generation soldier and my son will be a fifth. Knowing what my family has done for a long time was an inspiration,” continued Dibling. “Second, my ROTC program helped me pay for college. The Army has afforded me many opportunities.”

Among his many proud memories was spending six years as a leader for the Officer Candidate School. “I was responsible for commissioning about 100 officers,” he said. “The impact of shaping and leading folks that become senior leaders later was a really important part of my military history.”

He remains driven by the belief that what we build today has a direct impact on protecting people tomorrow. His story reflects not only his personal growth but a lifelong dedication to service, one that continues to strengthen both his team and the broader mission.

“My military service taught me to think strategically, operate with integrity, and stay focused on the mission,” said Dibling. “The mindset I gained from my time in service directly shaped how I lead, collaborate, and deliver for our teams and customers.”

CACI offers meaningful career opportunities supporting national security customers with opportunities to take on challenging and rewarding work every day in fields closely aligned with military occupational specialties. Explore opportunities to continue your mission with CACI.

CLEVELAND, May 21, 2026 /3BL/ – The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), today announced a new collaboration with SPORTx at Arizona State University (ASU) and GoDaddy (NYSE: GDDY) that lays the foundation for student-athlete education and activation opportunities relative to Name, Image and Likeness (NIL).

SPORTx Venture Studio built with GoDaddy will be recognized as NACDA’s Annual and Convention sponsor ahead of the 2026 NACDA & Affiliates Convention in Las Vegas, while also sponsoring the Senior Administrators Mentoring Institute and providing educational programming for Convention attendees this June.

“One of the primary factors driving the new landscape of intercollegiate athletics is NIL, and it is important for NACDA to provide our members with the right tools to help them navigate this space on their campuses,” said Pat Manak, chief executive officer at NACDA. “This new collaboration with Arizona State University and GoDaddy provides athletics administrators and student-athletes with previously untapped resources from industry experts, allowing them to reach their full potential inside and outside of sport.”

The collaboration builds on the successful launch of the SPORTx Venture Studio built with GoDaddy at Arizona State University during the 2025 academic year. Initially launched to support ASU student-athletes through entrepreneurial education, mentorship, venture development and digital enablement tools, the initiative has since generated meaningful insights around how institutions can better support student-athletes at scale through accessible, compliant and career-focused programming.

“College athletics is evolving rapidly, and we believe institutions have a tremendous opportunity to empower student-athletes with tools and experiences that extend far beyond sport,” said Jeff Kunowski, founding director of SPORTx at Arizona State University. “Through our collaboration with GoDaddy, we’ve seen firsthand how entrepreneurship, digital ownership and proactive career development can unlock confidence and long-term opportunity for student-athletes. We’re excited to collaborate with NACDA to share those insights and help support athletics administrators across the country.”

Through the collaboration, SPORTx at ASU and GoDaddy will share learnings, resources and practical frameworks with NACDA members to help institutions create stronger pathways for student-athlete development beyond traditional NIL transactions. Areas of focus include entrepreneurial mindset development, digital identity ownership and brand development, career readiness, mentorship and equitable access to modern business-building tools and technologies.

“As NIL continues to evolve, the real opportunity isn’t just in what student-athletes can earn; it’s in what they can build,” said Jared Sine, chief strategy and legal officer at GoDaddy. “We’re focused on the whole student-athlete, because all will go pro in something outside of their sport at some stage, and they deserve access to the tools and education that make that next chapter beyond athletics possible. That’s what GoDaddy’s purpose means in practice: making opportunity more inclusive for all so anyone with an idea can thrive. Through our partnership with NACDA, we’re expanding the SPORTx Venture Studio Built with GoDaddy nationwide so athletics departments of every size can benefit from innovative resources that help empower their student-athlete community.”

Through its sponsorship of the Mentoring Institute, SPORTx Venture Studio built with GoDaddy will have the opportunity to directly connect with the next wave of athletics directors across the country and collaborate to find ways to enhance the student-athlete experience at their institutions. This is a structured, accessible program designed to help student-athletes take a proactive, entrepreneurial approach to their NIL while building a lasting digital foundation.

SPORTx Venture Studio built with GoDaddy will host a panel discussion with an NIL focus designed for all NACDA & Affiliates Convention attendees on Monday, June 8 at 9 a.m. They will also have a dedicated session during the Mentoring Institute on Wednesday, June 10, in addition to the fall portion of the Institute, scheduled for September 20-22 in St. Louis, Mo.

NACDA & Affiliates members can look forward to additional information and resources throughout the 2026-27 academic year from SPORTx Venture Studio built with GoDaddy in areas including but not limited to:

• Providing equitable access to digital tools and resources for all student-athletes
• Supporting student-athlete career development and life skills beyond sport
• Enabling structured, compliant engagement with NIL opportunities
• Complementing existing programming with practical, applied tools
• Sharing scalable frameworks and educational resources for athletics departments
• Empowering student-athletes to build digital brands, ventures and professional pathways
