Aethos AI

[feature] · 03 of 05

Agent & crawler readiness

How completely your product data describes itself, whether AI crawlers can reach your store, and what Shopify's own agent surfaces say about you — measured as facts, with receipts.

In the console: Readiness

Aethos Readiness: the readiness score over four measured checks — completeness, product-data rules, AI crawler access and the Shopify agent surface

Captured from the running app on a demo store.

What ships today

  • Four checks, one controllable score

    Catalog completeness, product-data rules, AI crawler access and Shopify's agent surface — blended only over what was actually measured, with unmeasured checks labeled and left out.

  • Crawler access as facts

    robots.txt rules plus real page fetches for GPTBot and the other AI crawlers — reported as what happened, never as an indexing promise.

  • Kind-aware grading

    Products are graded only on rules that apply to what they are — a gift card is never asked for its fabric. The applicability seam has its own page: catalog intelligence.

  • A receipt under every check

    Each check shows what it read — the fetch, the rule, the field — so a number is never the end of the story.

What this does not do
  • Readiness is the part you control, not the part you earn. Good data is what makes a citation possible — it is not what makes one happen. Whether engines actually mention you is measured separately, by the scan.
  • The crawler check reports access, never indexing — it can see whether GPTBot may fetch your pages, not whether it did or what it kept.
  • Checks that have not run are labeled and left out of the score. Aethos does not show sample numbers in the meantime.
