AI is reshaping how websites build trust and drive conversions. Anda Gansca, Co-Founder and CEO of Knotch, builds AI-powered content intelligence that shows how digital content influences buyers across the path to purchase.

Why LLM visibility is yet another vanity metric, why static websites can't serve AI-shaped journeys
Static websites can't serve buyers who arrive already researched by AI. Anda Gansca, Co-Founder and CEO of Knotch, explains why LLM visibility metrics mislead marketers and what websites must become when agents and humans need separate experiences. She breaks down content atomization—structuring knowledge into semantically tagged "Lego blocks" that serve agents as invisible code and humans as dynamic, self-directed experiences. The conversation covers why 80% of LLM-referred visitors bounce, how to build a hidden agent layer beneath an experiential human interface, and why the website is now a validation and nurture tool, not a top-of-funnel research hub.
