# The Agentic Web

> The two-layer thesis: human + machine, both built right.

The Agentic Web is the thesis that the web is splitting into two
surfaces: the human layer (what people see in browsers) and the
agentic layer (what AI agents read and navigate). Most sites
optimize for one or the other. The winning category builds both:
standout human design on top of a fully functional agentic layer.

## Pages

- [Home — markdown twin](https://agentic-web.site/index.html.md): Single-layer markdown rendering of the home page (two-tier/2.0.0 reader surface)

## Thesis

- [Both layers, not either-or](https://agentic-web.site/#thesis): A site that's only pretty scores zero on discovery; only functional loses every human visitor
- [SSR as the foundation](https://agentic-web.site/#thesis): Content must be in the HTML response, not hidden behind client-side JS
- [The agent discovery layer](https://agentic-web.site/#thesis): llms.txt, .well-known/*, robots signals, Link headers, OpenAPI, sitemap — the navigation system agents use
- [Two layers with a switch](https://agentic-web.site/#thesis): Every site should be testable at both layers: browser and curl + agent probe
