Irvine, California — CYTD, an AI visibility platform helping companies improve how their brands, products, and services appear across generative AI systems, today announced the acquisition of Beacon, a company focused on helping organizations structure, publish, and deliver trusted brand knowledge for AI models.
As more customers use platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity to discover companies, compare solutions, and make buying decisions, brands face a new challenge: ensuring AI systems can accurately understand and reference their expertise. CYTD helps organizations solve this by making brand information more structured, accessible, and verifiable for AI-driven discovery.
Beacon, led by CEO Jake Schincariol, has developed processes and technology that help companies improve their presence across AI answer engines. By joining CYTD, Beacon’s team, clients, and expertise will become part of a broader platform designed to help organizations increase visibility, improve accuracy, and earn stronger attribution across the AI ecosystem.
“We’re incredibly excited to welcome Jake and the Beacon team to CYTD,” said Andrew Maltin, CEO of CYTD. “Beacon has been doing important work helping organizations structure their knowledge so AI systems can better understand and cite it. Their technology, experience, and relationships strengthen our ability to help companies ensure their brands are accurately represented in the future of search and discovery.”
“Joining CYTD is a natural next step for Beacon,” said Jake Schincariol, CEO of Beacon. “CYTD has built a powerful platform and clear vision around helping organizations become visible and trusted inside AI systems. By joining forces, we can move faster, reach more companies, and help shape how brands and expertise are represented in the next generation of AI-driven discovery.”
The acquisition reflects CYTD’s continued investment in building the infrastructure for trusted brand knowledge in the age of artificial intelligence.
