Microsoft Copilot Search Indexed My Framework — 5 Lessons on AI-Era SEO

Last night, after publishing a Facebook post about our framework, I sat with my phone wondering if anyone would reply. On a whim, I typed vnml agent framework into Bing.

What I saw made me sit up straight.

Microsoft Copilot Search returned a detailed summary of our project — not just a GitHub link, but a 200+ word AI-generated description that captured exactly what we had built over the past 6 months.

This is the story of that discovery, and what it teaches us about SEO in the era of AI search engines.

What Copilot Search Said About Us

Here's the exact summary Copilot Search displayed:

"VNML Agent Framework is an open-source, fully local AI agent platform designed for self-learning, self-generating tools, and multi-agent orchestration using small language models."

And it listed these key features:

• Multi-Agent System — Multiple AI agents working collaboratively
• Self-Learning & Self-Generating Tools — Built-in self-correction mechanisms
• Local Execution — Runs fully offline using LlamaCppSharp
• Dynamic Tool Synthesis — Uses C# Roslyn Compiler at runtime
• Architectural Elegance — Decorator Chain Pattern for loose coupling
• Performance Optimizations — Dynamic Timeout with Thinking Mode

Reading this, I realized something: Copilot Search understood our framework better than we could explain it in 30 seconds.

Why This Matters — 3 Reasons

1. Microsoft Has Validated the Project

Not officially — no one from Redmond called me. But Bing + Copilot has:

• Crawled our GitHub repository
• Indexed our blog on runasp.net
• Read our README
• Understood the architecture and features
• Summarized it into a coherent paragraph

This means Microsoft's infrastructure considers our project important enough to index.

2. This Is Free Social Proof

When pitching to customers, we can now say:

✅ "Our framework has been indexed and summarized by Microsoft Copilot Search."

This sounds very different from:

❌ "We just built a tool, please try it out."

Same truth, but the first version creates immediate trust. Customers don't need to believe us — they can search Bing themselves.

3. AI Understands the USP Correctly

Reading Copilot's summary, I noticed:

• It didn't say this framework is "the best" or "the fastest"
• It didn't hype
• It only described accurately what we built

This matters because: when AI summarizes without bias, readers trust it more.

Bing vs Google — Why Bing Indexed First

I tried the same search on Google. The result was very different:

Reasons Bing indexed first:

1. Microsoft owns GitHub → has internal data for AI training
2. Copilot is trained on code + READMEs → understands dev projects
3. Bing indexes new content faster → especially for tech projects
4. Google needs more backlinks + authority → slower for new projects

💡 Lesson: If you build a new tech project, submit to Bing first. You'll see results in days, not weeks.

5 Lessons Learned About AI-Era SEO

Lesson 1: README Matters More Than You Think

Copilot Search extracted 90% of its summary from our README. If your README:

• Has clear keywords (local LLM, C#, multi-agent)
• Describes the architecture
• Has concrete examples

→ Copilot will summarize it well.

If your README is vague → Copilot won't index it.

Action: Spend 1-2 hours rewriting your README. It's the "landing page" of your open-source project.

Lesson 2: Personal Blogs Still Matter

Copilot cited runasp.net — our personal blog. Not Medium, not Dev.to, not Substack.

Personal blogs have an advantage:

• Full control over content
• Platform won't change algorithms
• Google/Bing index as a separate entity

Action: Don't just post on Medium. Post on your own blog first, then cross-post.

Lesson 3: GitHub Is a Real SEO Channel

GitHub repos are indexed and summarized by AI. This is something no one thought about 5 years ago.

• GitHub = portfolio + SEO channel
• Good README → automatic traffic
• Stars → trust → job offers/customers

Action: Treat your GitHub repo like a product, not just a code dump.

Lesson 4: AI Search Is Changing SEO

This is the biggest realization:

Action: Write for AI, not just humans.

Lesson 5: No Permission Needed

I used to think: "To be noticed by Microsoft, you need to do something great."

The truth: Bing automatically crawls and indexes public projects. No permission needed, no application, no waiting for a call.

Just:

1. Build something real
2. Publish it on GitHub
3. Write a good README
4. Have a personal blog
5. Wait a few weeks

That's all.

What We're Doing Next

After seeing this result, here are 3 things we're going to do:

1. Submit to Bing Webmaster Tools

Ensure the sitemap of runasp.net and our GitHub repo are fully submitted, including:

• sitemap.xml
• robots.txt allowing AI crawlers
• Meta tags for OG and Twitter

2. Write More Technical Blogs

Copilot indexes technical content better than marketing content. We'll write about:

• Deep dive into ReflectionEngine
• Why we use bigrams for Vietnamese
• Benchmarking LLM 4B on weak laptops

3. Optimize GitHub README

Add:

• Architecture diagram
• Performance numbers
• Comparison with other frameworks
• Quick start guide

Conclusion

If you're building an open-source project and wondering:

"How do I get noticed?"

The answer is simpler than you think:

1. Build something real — not a tutorial clone
2. Publish it — GitHub, blog, social media
3. Write good content — AI will read it
4. Wait — Bing indexes fast, Google slower
5. No PR, no permission needed

⭐ Microsoft doesn't need to call you. They index automatically. And when they do, you have free social proof without spending a single dollar on marketing.

"AI search engines don't care about your marketing budget. They care about the clarity of what you actually built."
