Your Products Are Half-Invisible
When someone asks ChatGPT for product recommendations, the AI crawls websites and reads everything it can find. Product descriptions, reviews, specifications—all of it.
But there's a catch. AI systems can't actually see images. They read the text descriptions attached to images—called alt text. If your images don't have descriptions, or the descriptions are generic like "product image 1", the AI has no idea what those images show.
Your products become half-invisible to millions of people researching through AI.
AI Search Is Growing Fast
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews are changing how people research products. Prepare now or risk being invisible.

How AI Search Actually Works
Understanding how AI systems discover and process your content.
Crawl
AI systems send crawlers to read your website, just like Google. They parse HTML, extract text content, and index what they find.
Analyze
Unlike search engines that match keywords, AI systems understand context. They synthesize information from multiple sources to form recommendations.
Respond
When users ask questions, AI systems draw on their crawled knowledge. Products they can parse get mentioned. Everything else is invisible.
What we know vs. what we're preparing for
While we can't see inside AI recommendation algorithms, we know they're trained on web data and process text. Making your images machine-readable ensures AI systems can understand your full content when they do crawl your site.
The Missing Layer of AI Visibility
Images are the blind spot in AI understanding.
When Perplexity crawls an e-commerce site to recommend products, it reads:
If your alt text says "IMG_4523.jpg" or is missing entirely, the AI has no idea what that image shows. Is it the product from the front? A size comparison? A lifestyle shot? Detailed alt text bridges this gap.
Without Alt Text
AI sees: Nothing
The image might as well not exist.
With AltText.ai
RecommendedAI sees: Full product context
Brand, model, color, angle, and features.
AI Visibility in 130+ Languages
AI assistants serve users worldwide in their native languages.
When someone in Tokyo asks ChatGPT for product recommendations in Japanese, the AI needs Japanese alt text to understand your images. When a shopper in Berlin asks in German, the same applies.
AltText.ai generates descriptions in over 130 languages, making your images visible to AI systems serving global audiences.
