it's unreliable it says Issue: No WebMCP tools detected on page load Fix: Implement the WebMCP API by calling navigator.modelContext.provideContext() but I already do that. the extension detects them https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/webmcp-model-contex...

Can you share the website URL?

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

So far I haven't seen crawlers or agents utilize the interactive map widget where the final useful data is located. I'm sure it will happen eventually.

I can tell they're not using it because the page is getting hit by their user agents but my API is not.

The absurd process of SEO hucksters trying to pivot their obsolete services into "GEO" as most ecommerce websites realize their entire value was a list of part numbers and prices.

"GEO" (optimizing for agent search) is the legitimate sequel to SEO though.

I published a free macOS app three years ago to the app store and abandoned it. Over the last six months I received multiple emails per week from people asking where they can find it since it only shows up on the app store for older macOS.

I finally asked people how they found out about my app, and 100% of the time it was because they asked ChatGPT how to do something and it found my crappy website.

I had also written aspirational but nonexistent features on my website at the time (like a personal TODO), and ChatGPT told people my app had this feature they wanted.

So I took the time to put a 2.0 release together years later.

There's clearly a lot of power here, like how you can make claims on your website that LLM agents take at face value. It's like keyword stuffing all over again since LLMs are not hardened against it.

For ecommerce it's even more obvious. I asked an LLM why it thought Product A was better than Product B and it clearly just regurgitated a paragraph from Product A's website about how it's better than Product B. We've all probably hit this with Google Search's AI summary where it's regurgitating some nonsense someone wrote in a blog post or reddit comment.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Because you’re a business? Why do you have a website in the first place?

Businesses are generally in the business of serving human customers, not AI agents. Furthermore, if AI agents are so smart, surely they can figure it out for themselves.

gotta be a bit naive to think this way, no? "if x is so smart, why can't it just do y automatically?"

it's https://reloadium.com tho I was wrong I do registerTool() not provideContext() because the W3C specs shows it's registerTool() webmachinelearning.github.io/webmcp/

Oh, I've finally found one of those enshittifiers of the internet, hi there, it's the first time I can ask some questions directly.. So: - are you certain this "revenue" doesn't come from ads promoting scams? or you simply don't care? - what do you think about LLMs "licensing" the content so you get royalties instead of putting these artificial obstacles?

> what do you think about LLMs "licensing" the content so you get royalties

which LLMs are doing this?
