# What is the Agentic Web?

The agentic web is the next evolution of the internet — built for AI agents as first-class visitors, not just humans.

## Why it matters

By Cloudflare's count, **fewer than half of all HTML page requests now come from a human**. The rest are bots, crawlers, and increasingly, AI agents acting on behalf of users.

## Four pillars

1. **Readable** — Agents can fetch clean, machine-readable content
2. **Discoverable** — Site is findable via sitemaps, llms.txt, and structured metadata
3. **Callable** — Agents can interact via MCP tools instead of scraping HTML
4. **Payable** — Agents can transact via protocols like x402

## How rukuma.dev implements this

- **robots.txt** allows AI bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.)
- **llms.txt** provides a documentation index
- **/mcp** exposes a stateless MCP server
- **Markdown** versions of all pages at /md/<slug>
- **Vectorize** powers semantic search
- **WebMCP** tools injected at the edge
