About us

Make every Chinese brand visible to AI

Nangua GEO · a 2-person startup building the Chinese AI search visibility platform · pre-launch · live 2026-05-15.

What we believe

AI is replacing search as the primary discovery surface. But Chinese AIs — their recommendation logic, corpora, compliance — are fundamentally different from the English world. Various peer tools are all trying · few teams combine Chinese-AI expertise + local marketing know-how + ready-to-sell merchant resources. That gap is what we fill.
