55/100 AI-readiness

whatsapp.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: Perplexity (PerplexityBot). That assistant cannot read anything you publish when a buyer asks about you.

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:Both present and descriptive.
Sitemap:Listed in robots.txt.
