In the AI visibility loop, its natural role is to produce draft text after the team has decided which buyer question deserves a page. It is strongest for research with cited sources, useful for topic discovery, good answer-engine reference point, especially when the buyer profile looks like researchers gathering source material, content teams validating angles, marketers studying answer-engine behavior.
The gap to plan around is simple: drafts still need buyer-question strategy, evidence, review, and publishing. Before buying, ask: Who supplies the prompt evidence, citations, factual review, and CMS publishing process?
