The agent internet is here
Is your website ready for AI?
AI search decides who gets cited. AI agents decide who gets used. Paste your URL and see both: whether AI can find you, and whether agents can act on you.
Graded against the AgentReady standard · stable IDs, MUST/SHOULD/MAY conformance.
The agent buying journey
Find
Agents discover you through llms.txt, robots.txt, and sitemaps before they ever render a page. These files are the front door of the agent internet: when they're missing or block AI crawlers, an agent simply never learns your site exists, and it recommends whoever published them instead.
Evaluate
Agents read your raw HTML and structured data without executing JavaScript. Schema.org JSON-LD tells them who you are, what you sell, and what it costs. A client-rendered page with no markup looks empty to an agent, no matter how polished it appears in a browser.
Trust
Before acting, agents check the signals humans skim past: privacy and terms pages, declared identity, and whether a bot wall turns them away at the door. A site that blocks or hides from agents reads as untrustworthy, and an untrusted site never makes it into an answer.
Use tools
The strongest sites let agents invoke real capabilities instead of scraping: an /agents entry point, MCP servers, an A2A agent card, or an OpenAPI spec. Tools turn your site from a document an agent reads into a service an agent can actually operate on a customer's behalf.
Transact
Agents complete purchases through structured checkout signals: Product and Offer schema with real prices, a reachable cart, and emerging agent payment protocols. If a machine can't find your price or start a checkout, the sale goes to the competitor whose site a machine can buy from.
Recommend
Agents and answer engines cite the sources they could read, trust, and use, then other AIs repeat those citations. Citable content blocks, answer-shaped pages, and named authors compound into visibility. Invisible sites don't get recommended, and unrecommended sites vanish from AI answers entirely.
Questions
What is agent readiness?
Agent readiness is whether an AI agent can discover, understand, trust, and transact with your website. Agents don't browse like humans: they read raw HTML, follow files like llms.txt and robots.txt, parse structured data, and invoke tools. If those signals are missing, an agent moves on to a competitor that provides them.
What is AI visibility?
AI visibility (sometimes called GEO, generative engine optimization) is whether AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite you when they answer questions in your space. It depends on citable content structure, answer-shaped pages, author and entity signals, and freshness, which is different from classic search rankings.
How does the free scan work?
Paste your URL and AgentGauge reads your site exactly the way an agent does: raw HTTP requests, no browser rendering. It runs 31 checks across 6 categories, graded against the AgentReady standard with stable IDs and MUST, SHOULD, MAY conformance levels. You see your grade instantly, with no signup required to view it.
How do I improve my grade?
Unlock the full report with your email to see every failing check with the exact fix, from adding an llms.txt and JSON-LD to restructuring content into citable blocks. Most sites can move a full letter grade with a handful of small files and markup changes, then keep it there with weekly monitoring.
