Install

npm install aeo.js

Quick Start

Astro

// astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import { aeoAstroIntegration } from 'aeo.js/astro';

export default defineConfig({
  site: 'https://mysite.com',
  integrations: [
    aeoAstroIntegration({
      title: 'My Site',
      description: 'A site optimized for AI discovery',
      url: 'https://mysite.com',
    }),
  ],
});

Next.js

// next.config.mjs
import { withAeo } from 'aeo.js/next';

export default withAeo({
  aeo: {
    title: 'My Site',
    description: 'A site optimized for AI discovery',
    url: 'https://mysite.com',
  },
});

Add the post-build step to package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "postbuild": "node -e \"import('aeo.js/next').then(m => m.postBuild({ title: 'My Site', url: 'https://mysite.com' }))\""
  }
}

Vite

// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { aeoVitePlugin } from 'aeo.js/vite';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    aeoVitePlugin({
      title: 'My Site',
      description: 'A site optimized for AI discovery',
      url: 'https://mysite.com',
    }),
  ],
});

Nuxt

// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['aeo.js/nuxt'],
  aeo: {
    title: 'My Site',
    description: 'A site optimized for AI discovery',
    url: 'https://mysite.com',
  },
});

Angular

{
  "scripts": {
    "postbuild": "node -e \"import('aeo.js/angular').then(m => m.postBuild({ title: 'My App', url: 'https://myapp.com' }))\""
  }
}

Webpack

// webpack.config.js
const { AeoWebpackPlugin } = require('aeo.js/webpack');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new AeoWebpackPlugin({
      title: 'My Site',
      description: 'A site optimized for AI discovery',
      url: 'https://mysite.com',
    }),
  ],
};

CLI

No framework needed — run standalone:

npx aeo.js generate --url https://mysite.com --title "My Site"
npx aeo.js init
npx aeo.js check

Supported Frameworks

| Framework | Import | |-----------|--------| | Astro | aeo.js/astro | | Next.js | aeo.js/next | | Vite | aeo.js/vite | | Nuxt | aeo.js/nuxt | | Angular | aeo.js/angular | | Webpack | aeo.js/webpack | | CLI | npx aeo.js generate |

Widget

The Human/AI widget lets visitors toggle between the normal page and its AI-readable markdown version.

| Default | Small | Icon | |---------|-------|------| | <img src="widget-default.gif" alt="Default widget" width="220"> | <img src="widget-small.gif" alt="Small widget" width="220"> | <img src="widget-icon.gif" alt="Icon widget" width="220"> |

Framework plugins inject it automatically. For Next.js or manual setups:

'use client';
import { useEffect } from 'react';

export function AeoWidgetLoader() {
  useEffect(() => {
    import('aeo.js/widget').then(({ AeoWidget }) => {
      new AeoWidget({
        config: {
          title: 'My Site',
          url: 'https://mysite.com',
          widget: { enabled: true, position: 'bottom-right' },
        },
      });
    });
  }, []);
  return null;
}

React and Vue wrapper components are also available:

import { AeoReactWidget } from 'aeo.js/react';

<AeoReactWidget config={{ title: 'My Site', url: 'https://mysite.com' }} />

<script setup>
import { AeoVueWidget } from 'aeo.js/vue';
</script>

<template>
  <AeoVueWidget :config="{ title: 'My Site', url: 'https://mysite.com' }" />
</template>

Why AEO?

• 58% of searches end without a click — AI gives the answer directly
• 40% of Gen Z prefer AI assistants over traditional search engines
• 97% of sites have no llms.txt or structured data for AI crawlers
• 1 minute to set up with aeo.js

If your site isn't optimized for AI engines, you're invisible to a growing share of users who never open a search results page.
