See every featureShopping agents like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are a new source of traffic. They crawl and parse stores differently than humans, and most storefronts aren't set up for them. Agent Ready scans your storefront and grades it against what agents look for: discoverability, content accessibility, bot controls, and discovery protocols.
Your store has two buyers now: people, and the AI agents shopping for them. Frictionless shows what agents actually get - product schema, prices without JavaScript, crawler access, policies - plus the agent rails: ACP product data, UCP discovery, and whether your agent instructions are yours or the platform default. For human buyers it finds 14 friction patterns, quoted from your own pages.
