AI-agent-ready checklist for businesses

AI-agent-ready means an agent can find, understand, verify and contact your business through allowed paths — without seeing private data or having to guess.

In short

  • The website must describe services, audiences and regions unambiguously.
  • Sources and contact paths should be publicly verifiable.
  • Agent functions need clear names, rules and internal recipients.

1. Content clarity

First check whether a person understands in less than a minute what your business offers, who it's for and which region it serves.

If this information sits only in images, sliders or generic claims, it's often too weak for AI systems.

2. Sources and evidence

For each important service there should be a stable public source. That can be a service page, documentation, contact page, calculator page or API description.

Sources help AI systems distinguish verified facts from marketing claims.

3. Contact and functions

A profile becomes AI-agent-ready only when an agent can not just read but also recognize an allowed action.

Typical functions are request a rate, request a quote, request a meeting, request a callback or ask a question. Each function should be routed internally to the right person.

Checklist

  • Describe the main service in one clear sentence
  • Make region, language and audience visible
  • Link service and contact pages publicly
  • Provide agent.md and agent.json
  • Define at least one allowed agent function
  • Set internal recipients per function
  • Run a dry-run test via Agent API or MCP

Frequently asked

Does a business need its own API?

No. To start, email-based functions through agentready.ch are often enough. Your own API matters only when calculators, bookings or process data should be connected directly.

How fast can a base profile be created?

A profile can be prepared from public sources. A verified profile additionally needs a personal review and clear contact rules.

Next step

Live proof — not a screenshot

Don't take our word for it. Ask the AI.

Ask an AI assistant what agentready.ch is and whether it works. Each button opens the assistant with the question already typed in.

What is agentready.ch and does it work technically?

agentready.ch is a curated Swiss directory that makes businesses readable and contactable for AI agents — via llms.txt, agent.json and a live MCP endpoint. The machine endpoints respond correctly.
