Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # Is your business ready for AI agents? ## In short AI agents already read websites, compare prices, book rooms and finish purchases for customers. Whether they can do that on yours depends on a few decisions that sit with leaders, not developers: which bots to let in, whether prices are readable text and whether an agent may complete a purchase. This self-check scores your own answers in your browser. [Answer the other 17 questions](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check) to fill the dial.

Each has its own page with the options and what each one costs. Start with [which AI bots and agents to let in](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/which-bots-to-allow), or send your team the list on [ask your web team](https://amireadyforagents.com/ask-your-web-team). ## News - [Google brings UCP direct checkout to AI Mode and Gemini in Canada](https://amireadyforagents.com/news/2026-11-04-google-brings-ucp-direct-checkout-to-ai-mode-and-gemini-in)4 Nov 2026 - [Shopify reports orders from AI searches up 3.3 times in a year](https://amireadyforagents.com/news/2026-11-03-shopify-reports-orders-from-ai-searches-up-3-3-times-in-a)3 Nov 2026 - [Zocdoc opens appointment booking to registered AI agents](https://amireadyforagents.com/news/2026-10-28-zocdoc-opens-appointment-booking-to-registered-ai-agents)28 Oct 2026 - [Muse launches in Singapore with travel and shopping partners](https://amireadyforagents.com/news/2026-10-27-muse-launches-in-singapore-with-travel-and-shopping)27 Oct 2026 More on the [news page](https://amireadyforagents.com/news). ## For agents and crawlers This site practises what it describes. Every page puts its text in the first HTML response. The whole site is in [llms-full.txt](https://amireadyforagents.com/llms-full.txt), the short index is [llms.txt](https://amireadyforagents.com/llms.txt), and every page has a markdown version at its own path plus `/index.md`. The scorecards, the self-check questions and the ten decisions can also be queried as data: an MCP server at `/mcp`, a REST API described by [openapi.json](https://amireadyforagents.com/openapi.json) and an NLWeb endpoint at `/ask`, all read-only and open. The [API and MCP server](https://amireadyforagents.com/developers) page has the tools and examples. ```bash curl -s 'https://amireadyforagents.com/api/v1/rank_sectors?metric=allow_agents' ``` The 36 vendors the site has read, in 5 types, are on the [vendors page](https://amireadyforagents.com/vendors) with dated facts, prices and sources, and the table downloads as JSON and CSV. ## Sources 1.
