Role overview
Pomo is the autonomous decision layer for marketing teams. It continuously monitors market moves, competitor activity, and shifts in how AI models and search engines surface brands, then turns those signals into concrete next moves for the team. Pomo supports both AEO and GEO, plugs directly into Slack so insights land where marketers already work, and offers a self-serve, no-credit-card free trial. Pomo is built by Machflow AI.
