Which AI assistants does Sightline monitor?

What does the AI Readiness Check look at?
Whether the AI crawlers can read your site, if each page is labeled clearly for AI readers, and whether the information that AI assistants look for is readable. It then identifies fixes for any problems, ranked in order of importance. The AI Readiness Check is part of the broader Sightline AI measurement and optimization tool.
Is the AI Readiness Check free?
Yes, during early access. It runs the same checks Sightline clients see on their internal dashboards.
How is the AI Readiness Check different from the full Sightline tool?
The Readiness Check tells you whether AI can access your site and find the most important information. The full tool tells you what AI says about you, tracks how that changes every day, and generates tailored recommendations to improve AI answers.
Who can use Sightline?
Candidate campaigns, independent expenditure groups, ballot measures, advocacy organizations, consultants and vendors, and companies. Sightline is taking clients for 2027 and 2028.
