Can You Actually Measure AI Visibility? Testing a New Revenue Model in 2026

Описание: In 2026, companies want to be visible inside generative AI platforms like ChatGPT.

But here’s the problem:

How do you prove it’s working?

In this episode of The SaaS Playbook, Jenny Vo speaks with David Hirschfeld, Founder of Tekyz Corp, about a new freemium subscription model built around AI discoverability and the strategic challenge of validating something that has no historical benchmark.

If you’re a SaaS founder, technical operator, or B2B growth leader thinking about AI search optimisation or AI visibility, this conversation will challenge your assumptions.

We cover:

• What AI visibility actually means for SaaS companies
• Who pays in an AI discovery ecosystem
• Why new markets require disciplined validation
• How to design measurable real-world tests
• The risks of scaling before proving signal
• The role of freemium in emerging categories
• How to structure growth experiments without vanity metrics

This is a practical discussion about product-market validation in an AI-first world.
