How Time and others are rebuilding parts of the web for AI agents
by Digiday Read time: 4 minutes · Marketing
Score: +2900
Time and The Economist are converting content from HTML to markdown, a format AI agents read more efficiently. Time strips navigation/styling and uses whitelisted bot access; The Economist is creating agent-readable versions of non-paywalled content (marketing copy, B2B material) to optimize for agent-driven discovery. Tactical implication: audit your high-traffic content pages—convert to markdown or simplified structure if you appear in AI search results; measure AI traffic and agent citations vs. baseline over 6 weeks.
