Can AI agents read your Shopify store?

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity are already recommending products — but only the ones they can read. Sichta checks your Shopify store in 60 seconds and shows exactly what's missing.

Agentic commerce is live. The only question is whether your data is legible.

How it works

Scan, see, fix — no code required.

Scan

One click. Sichta reads your storefront and catalog the way an agent does — manifest, llms.txt, structured data, product attributes, policies.

See

A 0–100 score across four pillars and 24 checks — each pass, warn or fail — plus an answerability score: how many of the ten questions a buyer asks an agent your products can actually answer.

Fix

Follow the guided fixes or let Sichta handle it — auto-maintained llms.txt and agents.md, one-click alt text and structured-data embed, every change reversible, alerts when new products ship with gaps.

The four pillars

Twenty-four checks across the four things an agent needs.

Agent plumbing

UCP manifest, llms.txt, robots.txt access for AI crawlers, sitemap, soft-404 handling — the basic contract between your store and any agent.

Structured data

Product schema that is present, complete, and consistent with what the page actually says. Mismatched prices are how agents lose trust in a store.

Catalog completeness

Categories, attributes, descriptions, alt text, identifiers — empty fields are invisible products.

Buyer policies

Shipping, returns, contact, language and currency clarity. Agents check them before recommending; missing or contradictory policies are silent disqualifiers.

Beyond the score

Everything you need to be legible to agents.

Not just a number — the tools to see what agents see, fix it safely, and watch it hold.

Answerability score

Ten questions a buyer puts to an AI agent — does it ship to me, what's the return window, is it in stock, what's it made of. Sichta measures how many each product can answer, and your store average.

Agent View

See a product page the way an agent parses it: the exact fields it extracts, and the ones it simply can't find.

AI snapshots

Ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and more what they say about your store — on a schedule — and watch the answer improve as you close gaps.

llms.txt + agents.md

Two machine-readable indexes generated from your live catalog, kept current, and served at your own domain through a redirect.

Reversible one-click fixes

Apply alt text, redirects and a structured-data embed through Shopify's own APIs. Every fix is journaled, re-verified on the next scan, and undoable for 30 days.

Monitoring & reports

New and updated products are checked on publish, so you're alerted before a gap goes live — and agencies can hand clients a white-label report.

FAQ

The honest answers.

Does Sichta improve my ranking in ChatGPT?
We don't promise rankings — nobody honestly can. Sichta verifies that your store meets the technical requirements agents need to read, understand and transact with it. What agents do with legible data is up to them; illegible data guarantees you're not in the conversation.
What is the answerability score?
The ten questions a buyer typically asks an agent before purchasing — shipping, returns, stock, materials, sizing and so on. Sichta checks each sampled product against all ten and reports how many it can answer, per product and on average — a direct measure of whether an agent could complete the sale.
What are llms.txt and agents.md?
Plain-text and Markdown indexes that tell AI systems what your store offers — products, collections, policies. Sichta generates both from your live catalog and keeps them current as it changes.
Do I need to touch code?
No. Scanning is read-only. The optional fixes (llms.txt redirect, alt text, structured-data embed) are applied through Shopify's own APIs, can be reviewed first, and can be undone for 30 days.
Does it work on my plan?
Yes — every Shopify plan. UCP has been enabled on all stores since June 2026.
Is my data safe?
Sichta reads product and shop data only, stores no customer data, and deletes everything on uninstall. Your app data is hosted in the EU (Frankfurt); opt-in AI snapshots send only your store name, domain and a generic question to US-based AI models under Standard Contractual Clauses — never customer data.
