## Why it matters

For founders and growth teams, the toolkit maps websites that AI answers cite and identifies the people behind those sources, giving teams a documented way to investigate where AI-generated answers draw their material.

Treg, the agent-tools company founded by Jason Zhou with founding engineer Shi Tianxin, announced an open-source answer engine optimization (AEO) toolkit on October 19th, 2026. Its documented workflow records websites cited in AI answers and finds the people behind those sources, according to [Treg's AEO documentation](https://treg.to/aeo?ref=runtimewire).
