# Generate Summaries and FAQs: Let AI Boost Your Stack's Discoverability

## Summaries and FAQs: Answer Engine Optimization

Once your stack has 3+ well-annotated cards, generate summaries and FAQs to boost discoverability with AI answer engines.

### Why Summaries Matter

A stack summary:
- Becomes your meta description in search results
- Gets indexed by generative AI systems
- Appears in your stack's overview
- Helps people understand what's inside at a glance

Without a summary, your stack falls back to a generic template that won't help you rank.

### Why FAQs Matter

An FAQ published to your stack:
- Creates AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) structured data
- Lets answer engines quote your stack when answering questions
- Captures long-tail search queries
- Gives your stack multiple entry points in AI systems

Answer engines look for FAQPage schema. Generate it and get cited.

### How to Generate

1. Make sure your stack has 3+ cards
2. Annotate every card (title + one-line note)
3. Click "Generate Summary" or "Generate FAQ"
4. The AI reads your cards and creates relevant content
5. Review and publish (or regenerate if needed)

### Best Practices

**Before generating:**
- Ensure every card has a clear title
- Write one-line notes explaining why each card belongs
- Use consistent tags across cards
- Set a category for your stack

**After generating:**
- Review the summary and FAQ for accuracy
- Make sure the tone matches your brand
- Regenerate if the AI missed key points
- Keep summaries 70-160 chars (shorter gets padded by the system)

### Examples

A stack on "Tokyo Coffee Roasters" with 5 annotated cards might generate:

**Summary**: "Curated guide to Tokyo's best specialty coffee roasters and independent cafes, from Shimokitazawa to Asakusa. Profiles, reviews, and brewing tips."

**FAQ**:
- What are the best specialty coffee shops in Tokyo?
- Which Tokyo roasters offer single-origin espresso?
- Where can I find third wave coffee in Asakusa?
- Do Tokyo cafes offer pour-over and filter options?
- How do I find authentic Tokyo coffee culture?

### Refresh When Needed

Regenerate your summary or FAQ if you:
- Add new cards that change the stack's focus
- Want to emphasize different aspects
- Find the AI missed important angles

Keep your answer blocks fresh to stay competitive in generative search.
