Make your business and product data machine-readable for the LLM era. Publish simple JSON feeds that LLMs and AI tools can trust and validate.

The Problem

LLMs ingest messy, HTML-heavy data via crawlers and private deals—causing hallucinations, wasted compute, and inaccurate brand representation.

What’s Missing

A public, open, machine-readable feed format that lets organizations publish canonical facts for AI consumption.

The Solution: AIFDS

  • JSON schemas for core business, products, services, FAQs, and updates.
  • Simple discovery via feed.example.com.
  • Validation with JSON Schema; optional JWS signatures and JWKS for integrity.
  • Inspired by schema.org, designed for AI pipelines.

Status

v1 is in draft. Schemas and examples are being stabilized before the 1.0 spec is locked.

Core Feeds

  • business.json — organizational profile
  • products.json — product catalog
  • services.json — structured service data
  • faqs.json — canonical Q&A
  • updates.jsonl — append-only freshness feed

Discovery

  • Serve feeds from feed.yourdomain.com (or /feeds/ path).
  • Link in <head> with rel="alternate" and in the site footer.
