Everything Obi does
Obi works as a CLI and a Skill inside the coding agent you already use. Here is everything it does, with the command to run where there is one.

Features
Learns your business
- Reads your sources
- Obi reads your site and blog, third-party reviews and "alternatives" pages, then the home, product and pricing pages of your rivals.
- Renders what visitors see
- Obi opens JavaScript pages, price toggles and visuals in your agent's browser, so a fact hidden from a plain read still counts.
- Watches your videos
- Obi saves a video's details, its captions and up to 30 still frames. Run
obi research video. - Keeps every source
- Every page Obi reads is saved with its address, the time it was read and the passages quoted. A page that failed stays listed as failed.
- Finds your ICP
- Obi proposes your offer, buyer, market and competitors, each claim cited. When your site and others disagree, Obi picks the buyer.
- Takes your corrections
- You correct in plain words: fix a name, fill a fact, dispute or replace a claim, add or remove a competitor. Run
obi business.
Writes your buyers' questions
- From the buyer's seat
- Obi writes each question as your buyer types it into an AI: first person, one ask, a real situation, the fact it came from.
- The whole buying path
- The set covers every stage of awareness and six intents: category, use case, feature, comparison, alternatives and trust.
- Any country and language
- Obi works in any country and language: it asks the AI engines a startup's buying questions in the country and language where the startup sells.
- You review the set
- Obi shows five representative questions, then all of them. Your wording becomes a new version, and every scan records the version it asked. Run
obi questions show.
Scans AI answers
- On Obi's servers
- Obi's servers ask the engines your questions. A scan is the only thing Obi calls a measurement; your agent's own answer stays a suggestion.
- Ten engines
- Obi scans ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews in every core pack, with Claude and Perplexity as options. Obi also scans Grok, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI, DeepSeek and Mistral Le Chat.
- Answer, date, sources
- Each result keeps what the engine answered, when, and the sources it cited. Run
obi questions results. - Every week
- A core pack is scanned every week; the Free plan once a month. A scan freezes its questions when it starts, so a later edit never rewrites it.
- Your yes first
- Obi shows the questions, the engines and the count before a scan, and only your explicit yes starts it.
Checks your website
- Crawler access
- Obi reads your robots.txt rule by rule for each AI search crawler and each page, and names the line that decides.
- Indexability
- Obi finds pages that are down, marked noindex or nosnippet, restricted from Bing answers, or pointing their canonical elsewhere.
- JavaScript pages
- Obi finds the facts that appear only once a browser runs the page, which AI crawlers may never see.
- Structured data and llms.txt
- Obi checks your structured data and whether your llms.txt exists, is valid and links to pages that answer.
- Every finding sourced
- Each finding carries a severity, a confidence, the quoted evidence and how to fix and verify it. A robots.txt fix comes as an exact patch.
- Training crawlers apart
- Blocking a training crawler such as GPTBot is reported as your choice. Obi keeps it apart from the crawlers that power AI answers. Run
obi readiness.
Does the work
- Three actions this week
- After a scan, Obi ranks what to do by urgency and buyer importance, then evidence, speed and effort. Each action names the observation it rests on. Run
obi strategies. - The considered list
- Obi shows what else it weighed and why it ranks lower, and says what would produce new ideas when the list runs out.
- Drafts in your voice
- Obi writes the missing pieces: pages, articles, comparisons, FAQs, fix briefs, pitches and replies.
- Every draft saved
- Obi saves each draft with its revisions, so you can correct, resume or export it. Run
obi harness artifact. - Records what you shipped
- When you make a change, Obi records what changed, when and the evidence, and reads it before its next decision.
Agent Search
Agent Search is Obi's work for AI agents: Obi asks coding agents and personal agents what a startup's buyers ask them, sees whether they pick the startup, and writes what they read before they choose (docs, setup steps, product facts and prices), so they can install it or buy it.
Works with your tools
- Attio
- Obi reads the won deals to find the ICP, and ties the leads AI brings to revenue.
- Granola
- Obi reads the sales calls recorded there, the buyers' real questions and objections.
- GitHub
- Obi opens pull requests on the product's repository for the pages and docs it writes.
- Mintlify
- Obi publishes the product's docs ready for agents, as Markdown pages with an llms.txt file.
- Google Search Console
- Obi reads the queries, the indexing, and the impressions in Google's AI features.
- G2
- Obi reads the reviews, the buyers' own words and a source AI engines cite.
- Obi reads the threads buyers trust, a source AI engines cite.
- YouTube
- Obi reads the demos and their transcripts, where buyers learn.
- Obi reads the buyers' and the company's own words.
- PostHog
- Obi shows the visits and sign-ups that come from AI.
Runs in your agent
- Your coding agent
- Obi runs in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Cline, Amp and OpenCode, or any terminal. Type
/obiin Claude Code or Cursor,$obiin Codex. - Your agent's power
- Obi researches and reasons with your agent's own search, browser and subagents, reading your site, the reviews and your rivals in parallel.
- Remembers you
- Obi keeps the preferences, rules and decisions you ask it to remember, across agents and sessions. Run
obi memory. - Speaks your language
- Obi follows the language of your conversation; the commands, sources and saved questions stay exact.
- Picks up where it stopped
- Obi resumes an interrupted job from its saved state, and reads before it retries a write, so a paid scan is never sent twice.
- Built for scripts
- Every command answers in one validated JSON envelope with
--json;obi doctorchecks your setup without sending anything.
Stays in your hands
- Nothing goes live alone
- Obi recommends and drafts. It never publishes, sends outreach or buys anything on its own.
- Paid work needs your yes
- Every command that starts paid work or approves your review takes an explicit confirmation, so it never runs by accident.
- Your connections
- Obi keeps its sign-in in your system's credential store and never prints a token. You list or revoke each machine. Run
obi credentials. - Plans in your agent
- Obi quotes the packs for the questions you reviewed and opens the checkout only after your confirmation. Free: 10 questions; each core pack: $20 a month for 25 questions.
Planned
Obi's API and Obi's MCP server are planned. Today Obi works through its CLI and its Skill.
