Agent-first

Design paradigm: building the web so an agent can find, understand and use it end-to-end. The strategic WHAT.

Context

Agentic web in 2026: +7,851% agent traffic. Agent-first means being where users already decide with AI, not just Google.

Why it matters for agent readiness

Without an agent-first vision, the checklist becomes bureaucracy. With it, every AR-* has a business why: if 50% of searches already have AI Overviews and agent traffic grows +7,851% YoY, skipping discoverability means losing the channel where your customer already decides.
