## Definition

The AI-readable web is the public portion of the internet that is structured clearly enough for AI systems to parse, interpret, and reuse with minimal ambiguity.

## In practice

This usually means content types are separated, routes are stable, glossary language is consistent, and machine-readable files stay publicly accessible.

## Why the term matters

It shifts the conversation away from only ranking pages and toward building public digital assets that can be understood by many different systems.
