OARS — by Knov.ai

About

See any website the way an AI agent does.

OARS by Knov.ai gives you an instant, real-time read on a site's agent-readiness — how well AI agents can find it, understand it, and act on it. Click the toolbar icon on any page and get a structured snapshot in seconds. No setup, no account.

"Let me show you what your site looks like to AI agents." Click. Instant visual. It's a faster, more honest sales conversation than any slide deck — and a quick gut-check on your own implementation.

WHAT IT CHECKS

Signals are organized by OARS level, so you can see exactly where a site stands.

Level 0 — Reachable
- HTTPS, HSTS, and core security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy)

Level 1 — Discoverable
- robots.txt directives for the major AI agents (GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, anthropic-ai, Google-Extended)
- Content-Signal directives
- llms.txt
- Schema.org JSON-LD (with detected type and required identity fields)
- Link headers, Web Bot Auth directory, agent card, MCP server card, API catalog, Agent Skills index, and oars.json

Level 2 — Readable
- A single, well-formed H1
- A declared canonical URL

It also queries the Knov.ai directory to tell you, in one call, whether the domain is verified, at what OARS level, and links straight to its listing.

WHO IT'S FOR
- Consultants who want a live, visual opener on sales calls
- Developers verifying their own agent-readiness work
- Agencies auditing prospects in seconds

A QUICK SCAN, NOT A VERDICT
This extension surfaces the most verifiable signals fast. It does not replace a full assessment — things like Core Web Vitals, TLS configuration, content-negotiation, and accessibility require the complete evaluation at knov.ai/assess. Use the extension to spot the signal; use the full assessment for the verdict.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
All checks run as direct requests to the site you're already viewing. The only thing ever sent to Knov.ai is the bare domain name, used solely for the directory lookup. No browsing history, no page content, no tracking, no analytics.

ABOUT OARS
OARS — the Open Agent Readiness Standard — is an open standard, maintained by Knov.ai, that defines how machine-operable a website is to AI systems across six levels (0 Reachable through 5 Operable). Learn more at knov.ai/standard.
