Agent Readiness Checker
Lighthouse, but for the agentic web. Paste your URL and see how ready your site is to be discovered, understood and operated by AI agents and LLMs - with concrete fixes, not vague advice.
AI agents and answer engines are becoming a real source of traffic and buyers, but most sites were never built for them. This free checker scans your site the way an agent would and scores it across three tiers, so you know exactly what to fix first. No account needed.
Access
Can AI crawlers and agents reach and render your content at all - robots rules, AI-bot access, JS-rendered content, sitemaps and canonicals.
Citation
Once they can read it, is your content answer-worthy - well structured, extractable and self-contained enough for an engine to quote you.
Transaction
Can an agent actually act on your site - the emerging signals (WebMCP, structured actions, commerce protocols) that let agents do more than read.
A practical AI readiness checker, not a checklist
Plenty of tools hand you a generic checklist. This one runs real checks against your live site, groups them like Lighthouse (by category and by engine), and tells you what actually moves the needle. It is deliberately honest: where a signal such as llms.txt has little real-world impact today, we say so rather than inflating your score.
Is my website AI ready?
That is the question this tool answers. It classifies your site type (SaaS, ecommerce, docs or marketing), re-weights the checks to what matters for a site like yours, and marks anything irrelevant as not applicable instead of penalising you for it. You get a clear read on where you stand and a prioritised list of fixes.
Does my site block GPTBot and other AI crawlers?
One of the most common own-goals is quietly blocking the very agents you want to reach you. The checker inspects your robots rules and AI-bot access (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended and others) and flags where you are unintentionally shutting agents out - or confirms you are open for business.
llms.txt, schema and the signals that matter
The checker looks for llms.txt, structured data, canonical and Open Graph tags, a JS-render gap and more. It reports each honestly - what it found, why it matters for AI answer engines, and how to fix it - so you are optimising for genuine agent readiness, not chasing signals that do not pay off.
FAQ
Your questions, answered
What is an agent readiness checker?
It is a tool that scans your website and scores how ready it is for AI agents and LLMs - whether they can access it, cite it in answers, and act on it. Think of it as Lighthouse for the agentic web. This one is free and needs no account.
Is it free?
Yes. Enter a URL and get a full report at no cost. It is built by the team behind Chat Thing as a free tool for anyone getting their site ready for AI.
How is this different from an AI SEO or visibility checker?
Most AI SEO and ChatGPT-visibility tools monitor whether a brand gets mentioned across prompts. This is a technical, single-page readiness audit: it scans your actual site and tells you what to change so agents can reach, understand and act on it - including the transaction tier that citation-focused tools skip.
Do I need to be technical to use it?
No. You get a plain-English report, and each finding comes with a specific fix. There is also a built-in assistant you can ask to explain any check or walk you through fixing it.
