More and more users don’t browse — they ask AI assistants. But most websites are still built only for human eyes, not for models that need structure, semantics, and metadata to understand content reliably.

AI-First Web explores what “SEO for AI” looks like: how to structure a website so that AI assistants can actually read it, interpret it, and cite it correctly. A well-structured, semantic, machine-readable site increases the chance that your page becomes the cited source for an AI-generated answer.

The project is very early and still evolving — I’d love feedback from people experimenting with how LLMs parse HTML, JSON-LD, and web structure in the real world.
