Is Your Website Ready for AI Agents to Find It?

Dave: is your website visible to the robots can chat gpt and claude and perplexity etc know who you Dave: are and what your business is about and if you can't answer that how how do you find out how Dave: do you know if your site is ready for agents or if your competition are going to get a sweep on you Dave: welcome to field notes the ai operators show where we just talk about real experience our notes from Dave: the field this isn't a hype cycle this isn't saying this is even necessarily the best practice Dave: but this is practical use cases of how we are using the tools about amongst us out in the field Dave: for you to learn from our experiences like my grandfather would say experience is the best Dave: teacher it doesn't always have to be your own so last week on the field notes i did talk about Dave: can bands and sub agents this is different we're going to talk about your website being ai enabled Dave: and visible but just a follow -up field note from last week Dave: um i found out with a can band i had multiple different projects multiple different boards Dave: can bands running all over the place couldn't even it was really hard to keep track of which Dave: ones were still operating which ones needed me to go in and do some finessing so i found the Dave: pixel agents plug -in and now i have a little team of pixel agents which is fantastic i can see who's Dave: working who's idle if they're out on smoko it's all great so anyway just wanted to have that Dave: follow -up field note the can band thing still working out how to make that all sing and dance Dave: and visibility is a bit of fun and helps me do that but on to the agentic site now if you saw the Dave: live show on wednesday we did talk about this new service from vercell is agentic .com and so as an Dave: example i've thrown the ai operators pod website into is agentic and we are 73 out of 100 because Dave: we've already done a fair bit of heavy lifting when we built the site even to the point that Dave: when you go to an episode and put dot md on the end of the url you'll get a Dave: full markdown of the transcript it's great so 73 is not bad but this tool is really cool because Dave: it goes through and says what does it do and who is it for and it shows you how it works through Dave: your site how it has to look for things how it searches through things how it tries to reason Dave: and then what it did the agent satisfied the task by assembling a coherent explanation of Dave: a operator's purpose audience host and differentiation from alternatives but had to Dave: rely heavily on web search and prior knowledge to fill gaps left by the website itself so not only Dave: is it giving you agentic knowledge Dave: like how could it navigate where did it find its things it's also giving you some seo tips saying Dave: hey there's a gap on your site you're not necessarily explaining to people what your Dave: service offering is where to go to do some generic web search but it's got answers it's Dave: got some answers you need to read the report again this is like humans stay involved don't Dave: just abdicate everything through to the agents but these services can be super handy and here Dave: it's got a prompt to improve button at the top we can come in and you can say look here's all Dave: the information that we've got here's all the information that we've got here's all the Dave: technical things that's failing on some of these other things organizational schema let's let's we Dave: want to fix all the things and i'm going to copy a prompt now if you're building your website in Dave: wordpress or squarespace or wix or any of these other traditional drag and drop builders Dave: this is going to be hard for you but if like me you're using agents to build your website Dave: then maybe it's not uh quite so hard to take this action so here i jump over into where i've got my Dave: ai operators set up for vs code and i'm in my hermes agent and i'm going to say we need to make some Dave: improvements to the website for agentic discovery as follows and i will paste in the text bang Dave: now my agent is going to go off and fix that website now who knows how long Dave: it's going to take i'm using gpt 5 .6 terra on this one use your agent of choice use code code use gpt Dave: use codex whichever harness it is but if you've built your website using an agent you are equipped Dave: to just drop in that prompt from vercel and uh it's going to go through and give your agent the Dave: instructions on the things it needs to improve to make your site more agentically discoverable Dave: now like i said there's some content issues there where maybe i need to explain what the podcast is Dave: and read through some of that feedback and add Dave: and i'll see you in the next video bye bye Dave: actual fresh content not just fix the technical nuts and bolts but the technical nuts and bolts Dave: are also very important and it's a great starting point so we're going to run that through i uh Dave: ran that through on some of my other websites uh like my consulting website valid agenda .com Dave: and i showed this one on the show the other day if i just bring back the website so you can see Dave: what i'm doing here we go um let's here's agentic just put any website in there and i'm going to Dave: put my website in here you can see it's showing some popular websites out there on the internet Dave: and how they rate or don't but yeah we'll put in valid agenda .com score that 100 go dave so uh Dave: that started off much lower and now look at it go so anyway that is a quick look at how you can Dave: find out if your site is agentic uh by the time you see this posted Dave: the ao operators one should be up and running and fully loaded with all those changes pushed Dave: through uh which we will run uh when it's done we'll push it up and get live so you can go to Dave: is agentic .com yourself and see how we've improved but do it for your own site and if you Dave: didn't know if your site was agentic now you will make sure like and subscribe catch the live Dave: show on wednesdays catch the field notes um drop in your score Dave: for is agentic how did you go uh and what is your plan to move forward and improve your website Dave: to make it more agentic friendly because most people don't know this stuff exists and this Dave: is a chance for you to leapfrog your competition and have the agents recommending your product Dave: over theirs so uh recommend this podcast to your friends like subscribe drop a comment Dave: and we'll see you next time
