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.
Hi PH 👋 I'm James. Quick origin story: Google, Microsoft and Hugging Face published a standard this year for how AI agents discover websites: one JSON file at a well-known path. I scanned 20 of the biggest tech sites this morning and not one publishes a valid catalog (Hugging Face's passed two days ago, then an update broke it). That felt like the right moment to build the tool that closes the gap.
Agent Ardvark (an aardvark detective, my own design) does three things:
🔍 Investigates any domain against the official ARD v1.0 schema
📝 Drafts a valid ai-catalog.json from plain-English answers
🏅 Issues a Cleared badge for passing sites: it links to a live re-check, so it can't go stale
Everything is free and runs in your browser (the only server call fetches the target file). No signup, no tracking, no stored data. Would love to hear whether you think agent discovery becomes table stakes, and what the tool should check next. :)
