We tested how AI agents see our own website. It was humbling.

Summary

Fibr AI's founder shares an experiment testing how AI agents like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude perceive their website, finding most sites are built only for humans, and launches a product plus a free checker tool to diagnose AI readability of web pages.

Hey everyone, founder of Fibr AI here. A few months ago we got curious. If someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Google's AI Overviews about tools like ours, do we even show up? And when an AI agent lands on our site, what does it actually see? So we tried around 48 prompts that a buyer might ask. We came up in 12 of them. Not a great look for a company that's supposed to know this stuff. What we found is that most sites, ours included, are built only for people. Agents run into JS-heavy pages, can't find the key info, or get what you do wrong. So we started building pages agents could actually read, and tracking what they do on the site. Six weeks later we were showing up in 36 of 50 prompts. It's just a test on our own site, so take it with a pinch of salt. But the jump was big enough that we turned it into a product, and we launched it this week. We've also made the checker we used free, no signup needed. You put in a URL and it shows which AI systems can reach and read your important pages, and where they get stuck. Link's in the comments. If you try it, I'd love to know whether the results match what you're seeing, or if anything looks off. Happy to answer questions about what we learned.

Consumer AI agents like Meta's Muse and ChatGPT's Dots are hitting a growing obstacle: websites and their anti-bot measures are blocking agents from completing tasks like purchases on users' behalf. In response, companies including Meta, Walmart, Stripe, and Decagon are collaborating on a new open standard for agent-to-business communication in online commerce.

A technology and human-rights researcher ran an experiment comparing three AI agents—Meta's Muse, Anthropic's Claude Cowork, and OpenAI's GPT 6.1 Sol—on a real-world task of filling gaps in the World Bank's Global Public Procurement Database in English (US) versus Farsi (Iran), revealing how language and context shape agentic performance and access to information.
