<p>Agent readiness seems like an entirely helpful step. People aren't using blockchains on my websites but they are using AI, and AI do not need to use websites like humans.<p>Humans want to see a good-looking website, even just raw HTML. An agent doesn't even need that, ideally they would just see the content of the page in markdown.<p>Why not have an agent version? It saves the client agent and the website host time and money.<p>It would be nice if there was a standard like llms.txt to specify "agents should instead visit this mirror of the website that is a raw markdown version of what humans see"<p>Also, part of agent readiness on this website is the AI equivalent of SEO (or the opposite if you don't want your website being crawled for AI).</p>
