# safianov.com > Personal site of Maxim Safianov — I work at the intersection of technical SEO and software engineering: helping sites stay visible for classic search and AI answers alike, and building the Python tooling that automates it. Blog and case studies on technical SEO, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO/AEO) and Python automation. English is the primary language; every page also has a Russian version under /ru/. ## Blog - [Five AI Agent Protocols in 2026: What to Ship Now and What Can Wait](https://safianov.com/blog/five-ai-agent-protocols-in-2026-what-to-ship-now-and-what-can-wait/): llms.txt, OKF, ARD, MCP, UCP — a guide to the protocols deciding whether an AI agent finds you, connects to your data, and buys from you.

Jeff Dean, Google's former Chief Scientist, said in a recent Y Combinator interview what actually decides the fate of AI products — not the model, but the tools, memory, and orchestration built around it. We didn't rewrite Orakul after this interview. That architecture was already there. Google just signed off on the blueprint we'd already built the house from. - [Yesterday: Keywords. Today: LSI.

And left to quote a competitor](https://safianov.com/blog/chatgpt-has-already-been-to-your-website-and-left-to-quote-a-competitor/): How does ChatGPT choose which sources to cite, and why does it prefer your competitors even if your content is superior?

It turns out that AI values machine-readability and web accessibility (the Accessibility Tree) over beautiful design. Read our detailed breakdown of ChatGPT's logs and a practical checklist on how to optimize your website for AI agents. ## Case studies - [Turning around a declining SEO site through two Core updates](https://safianov.com/cases/turning-around-a-declining-seo-site-through-two-core-updates/): Traffic had been declining since October 2025, rankings stuck at 15-25.
