Weak AI visibility with 8 of 22 criteria passing. Biggest gap: llms.txt file.
Verdict
sembleai.com has foundational technical SEO pieces in place, but its AEO readiness is currently low at an overall score of 26. The site shows working signals like HTTPS, a valid sitemap (HTTP 200) with lastmod data, canonical tagging, and baseline Organization/Person schema support. However, critical AI-discovery and answerability components are missing, including a valid llms.txt, AI-permission file, direct-answer content patterns, internal links, and freshness markers. With AI crawler access currently blocked in robots.txt and most extractable content structures absent, citation potential in AI engines remains limited.

Tidio has a 251-line llms.txt. Crisp has zero. The score gap: +29 points. This single file tells AI assistants exactly what your site does -and without it, they're guessing.
AI assistants are question-answering machines. When your content is already shaped as questions and answers, you're handing AI a pre-formatted citation. Sites that do this right get extracted -sites that don't get skipped.
AI has a trust hierarchy for sources. At the top: proprietary data and first-hand expert analysis. At the bottom: rewritten Wikipedia articles. We've watched AI preferentially cite sites with original benchmarks -even over bigger competitors.
AI crawlers follow internal links to discover and contextualize content. A page with zero inbound links is a page AI will never find. Hub pages linking to 20+ related articles signal topical authority that both engines reward.
