Ready for AI agents

What this website publishes for an AI agent to read, use and buy from, on a scale of six levels.

  1. 0
  2. 1
  3. 2
  4. 3
  5. 4
  6. 5

Level 0: Not yet agent-ready. Agents struggle to find basic information about the site.

To reach level 1:
  • 2 of robots.txt, Sitemap, Link headers

The website turns away requests that do not come from a browser. AI agents that say what they are meet the same refusal.

Can an AI agent buy here?

Not by itself. Duty Free Americas publishes none of the purchase protocols we look for. An agent would have to click through the checkout like a person.
