Is Solarly a solar energy company?

No. Despite the name, Solarly has nothing to do with solar panels, photovoltaics, roof analysis, or renewable energy hardware. Solarly is a software platform that audits websites for AI-readiness — how visible they are to LLM crawlers like GPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini.

What does Solarly actually do?

Solarly audits any URL in about 60 seconds and returns an AI-readiness score, a list of technical findings (missing schema, llms.txt, AI bot directives), and ready-to-ship llms.txt and ai-agents.json files. It also publishes a public leaderboard and case studies for top brands.

What is AI readiness?

AI readiness is how legible your website is to LLM crawlers like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot — covering schema.org markup, llms.txt directives, and crawl policy.

What does Solarly do?

Solarly audits any website for AI readiness and generates llms.txt and ai-agents.json manifests so agents can discover and cite your content.
