# Obi for Tech Founders

Obi does the AI search work for you, from the coding agent you already have open.

Install: `npm i -g @hireobi/cli`, then `obi skill install`, then type `/obi` in a new chat.

## The job

You run growth yourself, between the product and the first sales calls. Your buyers ask AI which tool to pick before they ever reach your site.

Where it hurts today:

- A new channel to learn on top of everything else.
- Another dashboard to check every morning.
- Agencies that sell months of SEO.

## The workflow with Obi

1. **Type /obi:** In Claude Code or Cursor; $obi in Codex. Obi asks which website to work on. `/obi`
2. **Review the questions:** The questions your buyers ask AI, for you to approve before any scan. `obi questions show`
3. **Ship the next action:** Three actions this week, ranked by what moves a buyer. `obi strategies`
4. **Merge the pages:** Obi drafts the pages and docs, and opens pull requests on your repository. `obi harness artifact`

## Where it plugs in

- **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.
- **PostHog:** Obi shows the visits and sign-ups that come from AI.

## What stays in your hands

- Obi recommends and drafts. It never publishes, sends outreach or buys anything on its own.
- Every command that starts paid work takes your explicit yes.
- Your secrets and the rest of your workspace stay on your machine.
