“AI is the new front door, and most businesses can’t see what it says about them. We ran the experiment in my hometown — Reno — and published every answer, unedited. Nothing here is bought or placed.”
— Ellen Drewes, founder, Memeador (Minneapolis native / UNR graduate).
Ellen Drewes is the founder of Memeador, a one-person senior product-design studio that ships AI-first products and audits AI visibility. She is a University of Nevada, Reno graduate. AI Thinks That is Memeador’s public AI-rankings project.
Listed businesses: if a listing is wrong, or you want to be added, corrected or removed, email ina@trymemeador.com. We correct factual errors (name, location, category) and mark corrections. Inclusion is never for sale — that is the whole method — and removal requests are honoured on request.
