Agent-Readable Content
Agent-readable content is content and product data structured so AI agents can parse, trust, and act on it — structured product feeds, schema markup, machine-readable pricing and availability, and clean entity data.
Agent-readable content is the merchant-side requirement for being discoverable and transactable by agents. Content built only for human readers — image-heavy pages, prose with no structured data, pricing rendered in scripts — is effectively invisible to the machine customer.
The shift is the same one GEO forced on editorial content, applied to commerce. The brands that win are the ones that publish their catalog, pricing, and identity in formats an agent can ingest without guessing. Build the infrastructure before the buying agent arrives — not after it has already recommended a competitor.
