“Short answer - the most widely used and effective short‑video apps today are (in no particular order): TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Snapchat (Spotlight/Public Stories), Kuaishou/Kwai (international), Triller (alternative/creator‑first), and a few niche/utility apps like Likee and CapCut (editor + social).

20/100 AI-readiness

tiktok.com (official site, from public records) · can the AI crawlers read the site? Checked by code, not by a model.

AI assistants can read pages when answering (robots.txt):Blocked from the whole site: ChatGPT (OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User), Claude (Claude-User, Claude-SearchBot), Perplexity (PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User), Mistral (MistralAI-User). Those assistants cannot read anything you publish when a buyer asks about you; Microsoft Copilot (Bingbot) is limited to parts of the site.
AI models may train on the site (robots.txt):OpenAI (GPTBot), Anthropic (ClaudeBot), Google Gemini (Google-Extended), Common Crawl (CCBot), Apple (Applebot-Extended), Meta (Meta-ExternalAgent), ByteDance (Bytespider) are blocked, so future versions of these models will not learn about the brand from its own pages (Common Crawl feeds many models' training sets). A deliberate choice for many brands: it does not stop assistants reading the site when answering, but what they know from memory then comes from other people's pages.
llms.txt for AI assistants:Not found. An llms.txt gives AI tools a reliable, curated summary of who you are.
Homepage reachable:Loads over HTTPS.
Structured data (schema.org):No JSON-LD found - machines have to guess what the company is.
Title and description:Meta description missing or too short.

One live question to one assistant, asked by PollyX on Oct 15, 2026 and asked again about once a month. Assistants answer differently every time, so this is a sample, not a score. The full check asks 12 buyer questions of nine assistants and records every page each one reads. How AI visibility is measured

Is TikTok the first recommendation, and how is it described?

That was one question to one assistant. The full check asks nine assistants 12 buyer questions each, shows where TikTok is first, listed or absent, who is named instead, which pages the assistants read, and what to publish to change it.
