# Drifter AI

> AI visibility and prioritized work for destination and hospitality teams.

Drifter provides AI visibility and Partner Intelligence for destination and hospitality teams. It shows what leading AI systems tell travelers, which source URLs are exposed with sampled answers, how relevant places appear together, and what a team can review next.

## Terminology

- Drifter uses "AI visibility" for the category sometimes called answer engine optimization (AEO) or generative engine optimization (GEO).
- Drifter serves destination and hospitality teams, including DMOs, CVBs, tourism boards, hotels, hospitality groups, venues, meeting spaces, attractions, experiences, and travel agencies exploring early access.
- AI visibility reporting is the entry point. Actions, reviewed publishing, verification, focused Spotlights, and optional on-site planning are parts of the same Drifter product.
- The current publishing path is review-first: Drifter prepares ready drafts with available Website Voice guidance and labels the neutral fallback when a saved profile or website samples are unavailable. A person edits and approves before work can publish as a Drifter-hosted source page.
- Drifter verifies what is live and keeps the question, answer, engine, date, and available citations behind the measurement.
- Partner Intelligence is a public Beta for local hospitality and place partner monitoring inside Destination. A partner mention and an approved organization-owned source in the same sampled answer are a co-occurrence signal, not proof that the source caused the mention.
- Hotel and agency Partner Intelligence applications are early-access conversations, not standard public entitlements. Network Intelligence is a separate Enterprise direction for governed umbrella-DMO and subordinate-DMO relationships and does not create cross-tenant access.
