Our story

A team that saw the traffic leave

Pulsari was born from observing a clear phenomenon: users are leaving Google for ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews. Without a tool to measure this shift, it's impossible to stop it. Here's how we got here.

February 2026

First prototype

Claire and Mehdi build an MVP that queries Claude on 10 prompts and looks for mentions. The score is calculated manually on Notion.

March 2026

Meeting Sophie

Sophie joins after testing the prototype on 5 of her clients. She brings the methodology, recommendations, and a first validation dataset.

April 2026

Public launch of Pulsari

Thomas finalizes the UI. Pulsari exits beta with its final name, scoring system, 4 LLM providers, and a free first audit for every visitor.

The four pulses of Pulsari

The team building the tool, you meet them here.

CA

Claire Aubert

36 y/o - Lyon

Co-founder, product

Former SEO lead at a French media group, Claire had been observing since 2023 the traffic shift from search to ChatGPT and Perplexity. Convinced that GEO is to SEO what SEO was to paper directories, she launched Pulsari to give French-speaking brands a tool adapted to their market.

Traffic that disappears into AIs doesn't come back. You have to measure it before you can recover it.

Mehdi Benali

31 y/o - Paris

Co-founder, engineering

Data engineer from two French SaaS scale-ups, Mehdi built the mention detection infrastructure. His obsession: an algorithm that never generates a false positive from a 3-letter substring. He codes in TypeScript and dreams in JSON-LD.

A false score is worse than no score. Technical rigor is a duty to our users.

Sophie Toussaint

42 y/o - Bordeaux

GEO consulting director

15 years of technical SEO on e-commerce and media sites, Sophie now advises on Pulsari's product recommendations. She translates raw results into concrete actions for marketing teams, with one conviction: method always beats hacks.

GEO is not new magic, it's SEO done correctly with updated criteria.

Thomas Rivoire

29 y/o - Nantes

Product designer and content

UX designer from an editorial studio, Thomas designed Pulsari's interface with one fixed idea: a visibility report must be readable in 90 seconds by a non-technical marketing manager. He also writes half the blog articles.

If information forces you to read twice, the information is poorly served.

Three convictions that guide us

Transparency before magic

No black box. Our methodology is public, our limitations owned, our sources listed. If we don't know, we say so.

Built for Europe first

Existing GEO tools are American, think in English and reason in dollars. Pulsari was born French, speaks French and English, and understands the specificities of European markets (SMBs, regulated sectors, customer relationship management).

Product before hype

A tool that works for a single free report is worth more than a premium tool that generates fake reports. We will always prefer delivering 3 accurate recommendations over 30 approximate ones.
