Most people still design websites only for browsers — not for the world we actually live in now, where a huge portion of users ask AI assistants first (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) instead of navigating the web manually.

I’ve started a small open guide called AI-First Web: https://ai-first-guides.github.io/first.ai/

The idea is simple:

AI assistants need structure, clarity and semantics, not heavy JS

Clean HTML, good metadata, proper JSON-LD

Content designed to be understandable, interpretable and citable by LLMs

Think of it like “SEO, but for AI assistants”

It’s a living document and I’d love feedback or contributions from devs who build modern web apps, static sites, docs, or content platforms.

If you have thoughts on AI-readable markup, JSON-LD best practices, or examples of sites that are already “AI-first”, jump in.

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.

More users are now getting information through AI assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot) instead of traditional browsing. Similar to how SEO defined rules for search engines, this project proposes a set of open, practical guidelines for building websites that AI systems can actually understand, index, and cite —.

It’s not a framework — just a minimal, evolving set of best practices aimed at making the web machine-readable again.
