FAQ ## Innovation Lab: questions, answered What is design thinking?Design thinking is a problem-solving method that starts from the people you serve: research their needs, define the real problem, generate and prototype solutions, and test them with users before investing in development. What is GEO (generative engine optimisation)?GEO, also called AEO (answer engine optimisation), is the practice of making a company easy for AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews to understand, trust and cite. It combines structured data, clear answer-first content, machine-readable files such as llms.txt and mentions on the third-party sites those assistants read. Is SEO still worth it with AI search?Yes. AI assistants draw on search indexes and the pages that rank in them, so technical SEO and helpful content remain the foundation. What changes is the format: content needs direct answers, structured data and evidence that AI systems can quote. How long does product discovery take?A focused discovery sprint takes a few weeks; larger programmes run in phases with a decision point at the end of each, so you only invest further when the evidence supports it. Can you help us enter the Italian or Brazilian market?Yes. We research the market, competitors and buyers, adapt positioning and search strategy to the local language, and connect the go-to-market plan to the product and engineering work. We work in English, Italian and Portuguese. Do you also build what you design?Yes. Prototypes and MVPs are built by our engineering teams, so validated ideas move to production without a hand-off to another vendor.
