L. Cordero Posted on May 31 My website has two audiences now. I only built for one of them. # ai # webdev # agents # showdev The conversation about who reads your website has been shifting. Agents are part of it now. ChatGPT fetches URLs. Perplexity reads content. Shopping agents try to complete purchases. Coding agents hit your API. Most of those products were built for humans, tested against humans. The agents showed up later and quietly. When they can't figure something out, they don't complain. They just bounce. I heard the phrase "second audience" at a hackathon where you.com was one of the hosts. It stuck. That's what agents are: a second audience the web wasn't designed for and isn't being measured against. And now, I want to build something about it. A scanner that tells you what an AI agent experiences when it tries to use your website or your API. The internal name is Perseus Clew and the public product is Agentis Lux. The split is intentional: Perseus Clew is the engine name, part of a suite of AI builder tools , and Agentis Lux is the product-facing name (Latin for "light of the agent") that describes what agent users see. This isn't a launch post. I just finished a docs phase, and I'm about to write code. Before I do, I want to put this in front of dev.to builders and find out what I'm missing. What it will do Three layers: Deterministic scanning. Twelve check categories — six for frontends, six for APIs — looking at HTML, ARIA, structured data, OpenAPI specs, error responses, idempotency patterns. Same input, same score, every time. The methodology will be published, the weights will be public, and anyone can audit it. AI-readiness scoring tools have a reputation for inflating numbers and hiding their methodology, so the trust floor is making everything inspectable. That's the foundation the rest sits on. An AI-written verdict. After the score, a Bedrock call reads the top findings and writes one sentence about what an agent experiences. Something like
