The problem: a category they named, in a term the engines had never heard
Cornelis set out to introduce a new architecture built to address a challenge facing the entire industry, and planned to unveil it at the AI Infra Summit.
Landing that message on the web, in AI answers, and in person meant getting three things right before the show:
- Prompt set design. The questions buyers would actually ask about the new category.
- Content on the web. A redone homepage to reintroduce Cornelis to customers, plus a category page and supporting pages the engines could read, extract, and quote in Cornelis's own words.
- Content on the show floor. Booth assets carrying the same message, so it landed virtually and in person alike.
For a term nobody had published yet, no material existed. Cornelis needed a partner that could translate deep technical concepts into content people could readily understand, and meet customers at the right time, with the right message, in the right format.
The challenge: make a brand-new category answerable, in the company's own words.
The SolCrys solution: from insight to execution
SolCrys measured the baseline before a word was drafted, diagnosed which dimension of AI-readiness was actually broken, and shipped five deliverables in four weeks. Each piece of content mapped to a step in the buyer's journey across the web, the AI engines, and the show floor, so the same message met them wherever they looked.
- Measure visibility. A baseline measurement and prompt sets designed with the SolCrys AI Golden Prompt Set methodology. The prompt sets were built hand in hand with Cornelis's messaging and positioning, so SolCrys tracks the prompts that reflect customer voices.
- Diagnose gaps. Prompts where Cornelis measured zero presence became the FAQ questions and the headings on the new category page and its supporting pages.
- Activate the right actions. One new category page, a redone homepage as well as a product page, and show floor assets, all grounded in the Cornelis Corporate Context managed by SolCrys AI. SolCrys partnered closely with the Cornelis marketing and web development teams by delivering AI-ready copy as well as design.
- Verify impact. The same prompt sets re-run against the baseline, so Cornelis could see the impact of the moment, and of every asset created for it.
- Map assets to depth. One story told at three depths: L100–L200 on the homepage, L200 on the category page, and L300 in the reference architecture, explained through an interactive demo video at the booth, so a buyer could go as deep as they wanted without the message changing.
The outcome: a stronger presence, and a repeatable way forward
In four weeks, overall AI mention rate rose nearly seven percentage points, the new category prompt set moved twelvefold, and Cornelis took second place in share of voice for the first time.
Brandon Draeger — Chief Marketing Officer, Cornelis Networks
“The world needs Active Compute Fabric to unlock more innovation and meet the demands of AI infrastructure. When work that would otherwise stall the GPU runs inside the fabric, customers get far more out of the accelerators they already own. SolCrys AI took a deeply technical concept and turned it into real content mapped to different technical levels, and measured the effectiveness of every piece they produced.”

“I have worked with many web tools and agencies. SolCrys revamped our web experience in a remarkably short period of time, to a very high bar. I cannot think of a better product launch partner.”
Nishant Lodha — Senior Director of Marketing, Cornelis Networks
“The interactive demo turned our reference architecture into something a visitor could grasp in two minutes at the booth. SolCrys understood the technology well enough to explain it the way our own engineers would.”
Solution highlight: Active Compute Fabric
The homepage, the category page, the reference architecture, and the show floor demo, all saying the same thing — Cornelis networking for AI and HPC workloads.
The demo is the L300 layer of the same story: it takes a visitor from the whole fabric down to a single node in about two minutes, without the message changing.
