IsItAgentReady is a free web scanner that audits any URL for AI agent readiness across 36 checkpoints organized in five categories: robots.txt compliance (covering all 13 major AI crawler bots), structured data (17 Schema.org types), llms.txt implementation, MCP endpoint detection, and OAuth/agentic commerce readiness. Each category gets a letter grade with specific, actionable fix instructions. The tool was built by a two-person team responding to a growing pain point: as AI agents replace search engine crawlers as the primary way content is discovered and consumed, most websites are not configured to be agent-accessible. A site might have perfect SEO but actively block Claude, GPT, or Perplexity crawlers in its robots.txt — effectively invisible to the AI-driven web. IsItAgentReady surfaces these gaps in about 15 seconds. It also ships as an MCP server, making it usable directly from Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or any MCP-compatible environment: run a scan from the terminal and get structured results without leaving your editor. The project is positioned as "Google PageSpeed Insights for the agentic web" — a framing that resonated on Hacker News where it appeared as a Show HN with strong engagement.

LiteRT-LM is Google AI Edge's production-grade open-source inference framework for running large language models directly on edge devices — Android phones, iPhones, web browsers via WebAssembly, and IoT hardware. It powers the on-device GenAI features in Chrome, Chromebook Plus, and Pixel Watch that Google launched alongside Gemma 4. The framework supports a wide model zoo including Gemma, Llama, Phi-4, and Qwen, with quantization pipelines that fit models onto hardware as constrained as a wearable. It also supports function calling and tool use, enabling lightweight agentic workflows without a cloud round-trip. A JavaScript API makes browser integration straightforward for web developers. LiteRT-LM represents Google's answer to Apple Intelligence's on-device approach — an open, cross-platform runtime rather than a proprietary stack. The fact that it's open-sourced means any developer can ship private, offline AI features without touching Google's servers, which matters enormously for healthcare, finance, and enterprise applications.
Reviewer scorecard
“The MCP server integration is the killer feature — I ran it directly from Claude Code on three client sites and had actionable fixes within a minute. The robots.txt check alone is worth the trip: most sites are blocking AI crawlers without realizing it.”
“A unified inference runtime across Android, iOS, browser, and IoT with function calling support is exactly what the edge AI ecosystem has been missing. The WebAssembly path alone opens up private on-device AI in any browser without installing anything. Ship this immediately.”
“The 36 checkpoints sound comprehensive but several are aspirational standards that haven't been widely adopted yet — like MCP endpoint detection and agentic commerce. You risk over-engineering your site for agent features that most users will never use in 2026.”
“Edge inference is still severely constrained — even quantized Gemma 3B on a phone gives you a noticeably worse experience than cloud APIs. Google's history with edge AI frameworks is also mixed: TensorFlow Lite, ML Kit, MediaPipe all launched with fanfare and then got inconsistent maintenance.”
“This is the 2026 equivalent of Google's mobile-friendly test from 2015. Sites that fail that test eventually lost traffic — sites that fail agent-readiness checks will lose AI-driven discovery. IsItAgentReady is the early warning system before that penalty is enforced.”
“This is infrastructure for the next decade. When models run on-device with no latency and no data leaving the device, entirely new categories of ambient, private AI become possible. LiteRT-LM is the missing runtime layer for that world — and Google open-sourcing it means the ecosystem builds around it rather than around Apple.”
“The graded report with step-by-step fix workflows is genuinely well-designed — it's the kind of output you can hand directly to a developer or a client without translation. Clean, actionable, and free.”
“Offline AI for creative apps is a game-changer — imagine Procreate or Figma with on-device generative features that work on a plane. The browser WebAssembly support means I can prototype these ideas without an app store or backend. Very excited about the creative possibilities here.”
