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.

QuickCompare is Trismik's model evaluation platform that lets AI/ML teams test multiple LLMs against their own production data in a consistent, repeatable way. Instead of relying on generic leaderboards like MMLU or HumanEval, teams upload their actual prompts and evaluate models side-by-side across quality, cost, latency, and reliability. The tool replaces ad hoc scripts and spreadsheets with a structured workflow: pick your models, run evals, get a clear decision matrix. It works with GPT-5.2, Claude Opus 4.5, Gemini 3 Pro, Llama 4, and dozens of others via a unified API harness. In an era where model choice directly impacts engineering budgets, QuickCompare gives teams the evidence they need to justify switching (or staying). Particularly useful when a cheaper model performs identically on your workload — the savings can be substantial.
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.”
“Finally a tool that stops the 'which model is best?' debate cold. Running your actual prompts through all the candidates and getting a cost/quality matrix is exactly what every engineering team needs right now. The switch from gut feel to data is overdue.”
“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.”
“Evals are only as good as your test set, and most teams don't have one that actually reflects production variance. If you're running QuickCompare on 50 cherry-picked prompts, you're fooling yourself. The tooling is fine; the false confidence it creates is the real risk.”
“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.”
“Model selection is becoming a strategic moat. Teams that optimize cost-per-task now will compound those savings as they scale agent workloads. QuickCompare is the kind of boring-but-essential tooling that separates efficient AI orgs from ones burning cash on the prestige model.”
“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.”
“As someone who swaps models constantly for creative pipelines — image captions, copy generation, transcript summarization — having a structured way to test them on my actual prompts is genuinely useful. Stopped manually comparing outputs in tabs.”
