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.
Ottom sends real AI agents through your store the way a shopper's assistant would: finding products, comparing them and reaching checkout. Each run gives a PASS or STALLED verdict for every stage, with findings you can forward to your developer. Scheduled re-runs, alerts and score history let you hear when a change stops agents buying.
