About this skill
What is the AI Overviews?
The AI Overviews skill is Okara’s Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) methodology: the steps the GEO Agent follows to get your brand mentioned and cited when AI assistants answer questions in your category, not just ranked in traditional search.
It’s written as a SKILL.md, a plain-language instruction format that people and AI agents can both follow. Read it to understand how AI-answer visibility is measured and grown, adapt it for your own team, or let the GEO Agent run it against the engines your buyers actually use.
Downloading the playbook is free with an Okara account. Running it continuously, tracking your citations across engines and shipping the content that earns them, is part of the GEO Agent.
The shift is already large and still accelerating: Google’s AI Overviews now appear on roughly half of all searches, up sharply year over year, and when one shows, the search ends without a click to any website in about 83% of cases versus roughly 60% when it doesn’t (Search Engine Land, 2026). That’s the entire GEO case in two numbers — the citation is replacing the click, and this skill is how you win the citation instead of losing the click.
Example
See it in action
You ask: “When people ask ChatGPT for the best product analytics tool, we’re never mentioned. How do we fix that?”
Agent does: Across 40 buyer questions, competitors are cited in 12 where you aren’t — mostly "best X for Y" comparisons and "how to" queries. You have no comparison pages and your definitions are buried below the fold, so models can’t extract a clean answer. Priority: publish three comparison pages, add direct answer blocks to your top guides, then re-measure citation share weekly.
