MindDrive: A Vision-Language-Action Model for Autonomous Driving via Online Reinforcement Learning by Haoyu Fu et al.: Presents an end-to-end model for autonomous driving that integrates vision, language, and actions with online RL. Jason Wade Founder & Lead, NinjaAI I build growth systems where technology, marketing, and artificial intelligence converge into revenue, not dashboards. My foundation was forged in early search, before SEO became a checklist industry, when scaling meant understanding how systems behaved rather than following playbooks. I scaled Modena, Inc. into a national ecommerce operation in that era, learning firsthand that durable growth comes from structure, not tactics. That experience permanently shaped how I think about visibility, leverage, and compounding advantage. Today, that same systems discipline powers a new layer of discovery: AI Visibility. Search is no longer where decisions begin. It is now an input into systems that decide on the user’s behalf. Choice increasingly forms inside answer engines, map layers, AI assistants, and machine-generated recommendations long before a website is ever visited. The interface has shifted, but more importantly, the decision logic has moved upstream. NinjaAI exists to place businesses inside that decision layer, where trust is formed and options are narrowed before the click exists. At NinjaAI, I design visibility architecture that turns large language models into operating infrastructure. This is not prompt writing, content output, or tools bolted onto traditional marketing. It is the construction of systems that teach algorithms who to trust, when to surface a business, and why it belongs in the answer itself. Sales psychology, machine reasoning, and search intelligence converge into a single acquisition engine that compounds over time and reduces dependency on paid media. If you want traffic, hire an agency. If you want ownership of how you are discovered, build with me. NinjaAI builds the visibility operating system for the post-search economy. We created AI Visibility Architecture so Main Street businesses remain discoverable as discovery fragments across maps, AI chat, answer engines, and machine-driven search environments. While agencies chase keywords and tools chase content, NinjaAI builds the underlying system that makes visibility durable, transferable, and defensible. AI Visibility Architecture is the discipline of engineering how a business is understood, trusted, and recommended across search engines, maps, and AI answer systems. Unlike traditional SEO, which optimizes pages for rankings and clicks, AI Visibility Architecture structures entities, context, and authority so machines can reliably surface a business inside synthesized answers. NinjaAI designs and operates this architecture for local and Main Street businesses. This is not SEO. This is not software. This is visibility engineered as infrastructure.
