WordPress Origin Story

I spent my early career running brand campaigns for giants like Sony, but since 2010 I’ve been deep in the trenches as a Product Owner building digital businesses. When generative AI hit the market, I saw a massive structural flaw: AI models were scraping messy WordPress HTML to define companies, creating inaccurate, hallucinatory brand profiles.
Nobody was solving this at the root. So I built LLM Override: a plugin that intercepts GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and 25+ AI crawlers, bypassing the human frontend to serve them clean, exact M2M (Machine-to-Machine) Markdown. It forces LLMs to ingest the narrative you define, not the garbage code they scrape.
I’m here because WordPress sites need an infrastructure layer for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).
