**Conductor AEO Gap Finder** is an agent in Agent Platform. It identifies high-priority Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) content gaps. The agent analyzes your website against tracked competitors using Conductor Intelligence data.

- **Challenge** – AI citation gaps are invisible. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and content teams cannot see which topics drive competitor citations or what to write.
- **Agent outcome** – Returns a prioritized list of AEO content gaps against your competitors, with three immediate actions.
- **Value** – AEO competitive gap analysis in one run, without piecing together data across tools and engines.

## Prerequisites

- Active Conductor subscription.
- Configured [Conductor remote MCP connector](docId\:eawve1PyJTZm_7Ab8pBja) for your organization.
- Active [Conductor connector login](docId\:eawve1PyJTZm_7Ab8pBja) through the **Connectors** tab.
