What is Akii: SEO & AI Search Optimizer?
Akii: SEO & AI Search Optimizer is a free MIT plugin for Claude Code. Its 12 skills, 5 agents and 3 commands help audit sites. They plan content and group keywords. They compare competitors and check links. They create JSON-LD schema and llms.txt files.
It supports content translation. It works with local project files as well as public URLs. It runs locally through the Claude Code CLI on macOS or Linux, in a terminal or IDE session.
AI search checks use public web signals. They can also use facts from linked Ahrefs Brand Radar. The plugin does not send queries to AI engines. It does not track visibility over time. Ahrefs, Apify and PageSpeed Insights can add data if you choose to use them.
No Akii account, plugin subscription or credit card is required. There is no time-limited trial. The MIT license permits personal and commercial use. Claude Code access, model usage and optional third-party services have separate terms and costs.
Use the GitHub README to set up the plugin and check which tools it works with. Report bugs in Issues. Ask questions in Discussions. Read the privacy guide for telemetry details, what data is sent and how to opt out.

There used to be a website called the Woo Commerce ideas forum and we chose an idea that lots of people were voting for.
Mine a Public Ideas Forum to Validate Demand Before Building Anything
Katie's first plugin came directly from a public forum where real users voted on missing features — pre-validated demand with zero customer interviews needed. Finding a forum, marketplace, or community where your target users actively request features collapses validation time to near zero because the votes are a live signal of willingness to pay.
The widget takes the streak outside the app to reinforce it so as you're scrolling your phone subconsciously — or consciously — you're seeing that. It has a huge effect to say 'Oh I need to remember to go do my third workout' or there's that sense of pride.
Home screen widgets are billboards — a third of Ladder users have one driving three-workout streaks
Approximately one-third of Ladder users have installed the home screen widget — a calendar showing yellow boxes for each completed workout. Gammon describes it as a billboard visible to the user (and anyone nearby who sees their phone), driving both self-accountability and occasional organic word-of-mouth. Key timing insight: don't offer the widget immediately — earn trust first, then present it with clear setup instructions since most users don't know how to install widgets.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
