We couldn't scan this site 403 Forbidden error code: 1106 The site is blocking our scanner. This may be due to WAF rules, bot detection, or IP-based restrictions. Perfect :)

I use cloudflare to block bots and agents and they were able to scan still which is quite annoying.

Ironically, this feels exactly like the various "semantic web" initiatives, only this time coming directly from the tech megacorps and not the starry-eyed "free web"/"open data" idealists.

Is an agent-ready website so obvious poison? If I'm running a plumber shop in East London, then I'd want agents to know that just as much as I want Google (Search) to know that. The same will be true for most real-world businesses. Only sites that make money by selling their users' data and eyeballs obviously stand to suffer.

Do they explain why or the benefits of a website being “ready for AI agents“ ?

Come on, cant you tell? LLMs will crawl your website over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and OVER AGAIN!

This seems like nonsense at any angle? Like, if the agent hype comes true, then agents will be just as good at using any website as humans are, and there's no need to make any changes to your site. And if the hype doesn't come true, then who cares if your site is agent ready. Unless of course you want to expose some functionality only to AIs, not humans. Then sure. But why would you want to do that?

I don't want my site to be agent ready. I'd prefer people visit my site so that I can make revenue than have an AI scrape my content and answer the question for someone else. I've redesigned my site to have enough content so that AI knows what I have but they have to send the user to my site to use an interactive JavaScript widget to get the final answer they need. So far so good, but not sure how long that will work…

I’m at a loss for how this works since agents just use a browser and see the same thing users see

Agent ready, agent email, agent development, agent agent agent What’s the F is going on? Is the world gone mad or something?

Or the website of someone who makes things for people to see, or art for people to consume, and would prefer to avoid being automatically plagiarized as much as possible. It's not always about business.
