Kathy P. Carr is the CEO of AIrecommend.ai and its parent company, Skyview Business Consulting. She builds and leads a portfolio of AI-first companies — AIrecommend.ai, AIFranchise.ai, and Dorvo.ai — focused on helping businesses get discovered, recommended, and grown.
AIrecommend.ai is a platform that helps businesses become the answer AI assistants recommend. As buyers increasingly ask AI instead of searching, AIrecommend.ai helps companies win visibility through Answer Engine Optimization (AEO).
