ChatFeatured goes a step further. Its AI-powered platform analyzes what large language models recommend, identifies where competitors perform better, creates a content strategy, writes and publishes content, and tracks how those changes improve a company's visibility.

Since launching, ChatFeatured has expanded to customers across the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Germany, growing more than 40% month over month. Businesses using the platform are seeing more citations and traffic from AI search engines, helping them attract more customers and increase revenue.

ChatFeatured is developing a next-generation AI agent that does more than show marketing data on a dashboard. It will automatically find gaps in a company's online presence, identify valuable third-party websites, suggest content opportunities, create and publish content, and recommend the next best actions for the marketing team.

“Every major shift in how people discover products and make buying decisions creates an opportunity to build an enduring company. AI search is that shift today. ChatFeatured recognized it early, moved quickly to build for it, and is already delighting customers who are seeing real results and referring others. This is exactly the kind of founding team we're excited to partner with at Garage Capital.” – Garage Capital.

"AI search is already a discovery and buying channel, but most marketing teams are being handed dashboards that tell them there is a problem and leave them to solve it," said Farris Nasr, co-founder and CEO of ChatFeatured. "We built ChatFeatured to do the work. This funding allows us to grow the team, reach more companies and build an autonomous agent that proactively finds opportunities and acts as an extension of the marketing team."
