What it does

AI agents discover websites through ai-catalog.json, the new ARD standard from Google, Microsoft and Hugging Face. Agent Ardvark checks any domain against the official spec in seconds, explains problems in plain English, and generates a valid catalog from a simple form. Free, no signup, nothing stored. Pass the check and you can embed a Cleared badge that links to a live re-check of your domain.

Agent Ardvark checks whether AI agents can discover your website under the new ARD standard, and generates a valid ai-catalog.json for you. Free.

The new open standard from Google, Microsoft and Hugging Face decides which sites AI agents can discover. I check yours against it in seconds, free. Answer in plain English. I type up a valid ai-catalog.json as you go. Everything happens in your browser. It must be reachable at https://yourdomain.com/.well-known/ai-catalog.json . The folder is literally called .well-known , dot included. Then run the check at the top and I will confirm the job is done. Already have a catalog file? Paste it here and I examine it against the official schema, entirely in your browser. AI assistants increasingly act as agents : they book, buy, compare and research on a person's behalf. In 2026, Google,…from agentardvark.com

    I built a tool that scans AI platforms with buyer questions relevant to your domain and shows you whether they mention you or not. Enter your domain, it generates queries based on your space, sends them to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI, then scores you out of 100 based on how often you show up in the responses. The part I think is actually useful: it doesn't just tell you the problem. It shows you which queries you're missing from, why, and gives you fix pages (structured content designed to be citable by LLMs) and weekly action plans. Free scan on the homepage, no signup needed.

    Hi HN, I’ve been working on Spiderseek, a platform to help track and grow website visibility in AI-powered search engines (e.g. Perplexity, ChatGPT, and other agents). Traditional SEO tools are expensive and focused on Google-style search. I wanted something lightweight and AI-first, so I built Spiderseek: AI Research – Explore domains and keywords to uncover new opportunities. AI Analytics – See traffic, crawl activity, and page metrics, plus insights from AI agents. Content Submission – Get content indexed instantly in major AI agents. Rankings – Browse the top 1000 domains sorted by…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
