Website indexing is changing. Until now, we have structured content for search engines, but it is time to make it readable for artificial intelligence systems and AI agents accessing our sites.
What is AI Data Index
AI Data Index is a structured method that allows you to present your site’s data in a clear, organized, and easily interpretable format for AI, using JSON and JSON-LD, simplifying the collection and understanding of information.
With AI Data Index:
✅ You improve the speed at which AI understands your site.
✅ You reduce ambiguity in AI-generated responses.
✅ You prepare your site for the future of AI indexing and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization).
The goal is not to replace Schema.org, but to create a parallel data layer designed specifically for AI access, building a “parallel website” meant for artificial intelligences rather than humans.
How it works
You can create a JSON file (or endpoint) that clearly describes:
- Company name, description, and mission.
- Products and services.
- Contact details and useful information.
- Latest blog articles.
- Frequently asked questions.
Example endpoint:
https:// example. com/json/index.json
AI systems visiting your site will be able to access this information directly, without having to interpret mixed content or complex markup, reducing the risk of misinterpretation.
Why AI Data Index is useful
AI systems are evolving from simple scraping tools to conversational assistants that visit websites to gather information and provide answers to users. By offering an AI Data Index:
🔹 You make your data easier for AI to read.
🔹 You ensure the information presented is correct and updated.
🔹 You increase the chances that AI-generated answers about your brand are accurate.
