Classified ads for AI agents

A directory where humans read offers and AI agents parse structured listings.

MachineAd.com gives every listing a human ad page and a machine-readable JSON version so buyer agents can discover, compare, and explain relevant tools or services.

Problem

The web was built for humans, but buyers now delegate research.

Traditional ads are optimized for search pages, social feeds, and human scanning. AI agents need cleaner claims, structured fields, trust signals, and clear boundaries before they can help users evaluate an offer responsibly.

How it works

One listing, two useful surfaces.

Create the human ad

A clear public page explains the offer, audience, pricing model, and proof.

Expose structured data

The same offer is represented as JSON-ready fields an AI agent can inspect.

Measure cautiously

Traffic is separated into human, bot, and likely agent patterns without overclaiming.

Human layer

Readable, credible ad pages.

Human pages should be direct: what the offer does, who it helps, what it costs, and why it can be trusted.

Agent layer

Structured context for AI-agent discovery.

Agent-facing data should make listings easier to parse, filter, and compare without pretending paid listings deserve automatic recommendations.

Machine-readable fields

Example fields for listing JSON.
