Generative Engine Optimization is the unglamorous name for a real problem: your content now has to be findable, parsable and citable by systems that answer instead of link. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews. The original GEO paper from KDD 2024 showed the levers differ from classic SEO — citations, statistics and quotable structure move the needle where keyword density does essentially nothing.
The tooling around it is almost entirely paid SaaS. There are two existing awesome-lists for GEO and both are good, but their tools sections read like a funding announcement: Profound, Otterly, Goodie, Semrush. Useful if you have a budget. Useless if you want to read the source and run it yourself.
So I built the other half: Awesome Open GEO — 62 entries, one criterion, awesome-lint clean.
The criterion
Every entry has to be free to run and published under an OSI-approved licence.
