Why AI recommends Kathmandu in some categories and not others

AI systems do not recommend brands on popularity alone. They favour brands with clear, structured and citable information for the specific questions buyers ask. Kathmandu performs strongly where those signals are present, and weaker where they are limited. That difference is Kathmandu's Recommendation Gap.

AI See You closes that gap by setting up an AI Knowledge Centre: a deep, defensible data asset structured so AI can read, trust and cite it. It is real, sourced, expertly structured information built for the way AI reads, and it is the opposite of generic AI content or short-term hacks.
