AI Agentic Readiness

agentic checks passed
55% readiness - how well this site can be read, trusted and transacted with by AI agents

Last checked
7 Jul 2026

unc.edu is live and passes 10 of 30 agentic-readiness checks (55%). It runs on site on nginx over HTTPS.

For AI agents, unc.edu's strongest signals are tidy, crawlable markup, fully indexable pages, a visually stable layout, and a clear canonical URL. 15/17 images declare explicit dimensions.

Its main gaps are text that is hard for agents to extract, few clear definitions, no speakable schema for voice agents, and no llms.txt for agent discovery. An agent can read unc.edu's content but has little machine-readable way to discover it - closing the AI discovery gap would be the fastest lift.
